Lake Waconia Theft - Stolen Fish House


Recommended Posts

I know I'm a trusting fool, but I left my canvas craft insulated otter magnum fish house in the back of my truck while I went out fishing for 3 hours tonight. When I got back it was gone. This was at the landing just off of 155 and 92. Just a heads up to other sportsmen who use this same landing and maybe get a little too trusting at times.

If you're the person who took it and have recently grown a conscience, feel free to drop it off anytime in the very same truck bed you took it out of.

Geez man sorry to here that. What a lame move, hopefully it catches up to the goons responsible. Thanks for the heads up.

that sucks hopefully they arent smart enough to use it somewhere else and get caught, and hopefully karma works fast.

Hopefully they use it on the same lake with your registration still on it and you can flip the thing open and start swinging.

This may be nothing but I saw a fish house set up off of cr 10 today buy the old sod farm. There is no fish in the pond since it was dried up all year. The house was black in color, maybe worth a drive over there.

Yeah, I drive by that everyday on my commute. It's a Frabill.

Not much I can add to provide ID my house. There are a couple tears in the skirt on the side which faces the front of the sled and I mounted a battery holder which sits beneath a seat at the front of the sled.

I mostly posted this to let everyone know that it happened. I have no false hope of getting this house back. This just snapped me back to reality. Before I replace this house, I'll be looking to buy a topper for my truck. This won't stop everyone, but I feel it would have stopped this occurrence. Anyone selling a topper that would fit a '09 Chevy 1500 6'6" bed?

I also have my permanent out on Waconia. It's the unique green one sitting out on Andersen's reef. Feel free to stop in and we can exchange notes.

How much ice is out on Anderson's? How are you getting there (access)? I've got a newer mini-van and was hoping to be able to drive out to the reef on Friday. It's too far to pull my portable.

Bummer, are you going to file a claim? Well if it makes you feel even a bit better my 2006 GMC Sierra was stolen last week. My ice house was in the garage though. Still, I thought my neighborhood was quiet and safe, but not anymore.

      What I really wanna know is:   How’d get that lattice to curve like that?  Bomb diggity!

      Fish Newton lake is great for walleyes. Everyone goes to basswood and forgets about newton. The late fall pike bite in pipestone is amazing and it’s a great time to catch the big walleyes are up there feeding too.

      It would cost you 830 bucks to watch every game this NFL season under multiple platforms.   I don't have peacock or espn+ or whatever they want me to have, so I'll just have to relent on being able to watch a few games.  I refuse to cave in to their demands just to watch the Packers play the Eagles in Brazil.  I think last year peacock had the exclusive rights to the Miami/KC playoff game too.  I'm sure that will occur again in January.

      Well it's a win, but it wasn't to Purdy with all the turn overs and penalties!

      Oop, must be another Vikings game.  So far it's been a Prudy game, Viks!  😁

      Another prediction.   Under the cloud of "Woke Inclusion" Just like the Mn state flag and the Mn Twins, the Vikings name will be going away in a few years! Their already making them look like Snow flakes!  We can't have the uniforms of angry Norwegian people!  Sounds funny but. Wait for it! 😒

      Just sayen, not all the loyal old fans, can pay for the NFL viewing package!

      New frontiers.  Expand the market; make more money.  Despite some PR moments, they’re not in it for charity.   BUT, they might want to take a moment and see how that worked out for NASCAR.  Not that having to buy premium channels to watch races was the only problem but it sure helped kill the fever for a lot of people.

      Get ready. Any bets in a few years the average Joe NFL fans aren't going to be able to watch their local teams, unless it's pay for view!  Sounds like their greasing the wheels now.  There are 5 international games this year! ☹️ "The NFL will play a regular season game in Madrid, Spain in 2025, as the NFL prioritizes global growth and expands the International Games to new cities and markets around the world."

      I have gone into Basswood from Fall Lake. From Fall the first portage takes you into Newton and that is the easier of the two. The portage from Newton into Pipestone is the one with a hill. It is definitely harder! You also have to be careful when you go down the hill because the boat will pick up speed and can get away from you. Yes, you can get to Jackfish without going into Canada and there are signs letting you know where Canada is.
