Break ins

Recommended Posts

It appears that last Friday morning there were a number of fish houses broken into. Folks at Mac's Twin Bay and Dickies were the victims I heard about. They took high buck items such as TV's and generators as well as fishing gear like rods and augers. I heard there were 8-10 houses that were broken into, apparently by using a crowbar to bust the door open.

I hope like h*ll that whoever did this gets caught and put in jail. Let's all keep our eyes out for anyone suspicious out there! Also, apparently this guy (or these guys) made off with a lot so if you come across anyone selling a lot of used ice gear contact the police.

Great! haven't been up there since Thurs. night. We left a tv, some rods and lanterns, and what not. I'm out of Macs, guess i'll have to call and check that out. Its a shame that people do that. Thanks for reporting Brad. Hope those punks are up there trying to get in when i pull up wiht my buddies!!

Everyone just keep an eye out. Hope nothing more like this happens.

Good luck fishing, have fun and look out for your neighbor.

I'd call and check. I talked to one of the guys at MTB and he said they hit houses that were in close, at Hennepin Island, and even way out on the gravel. I hope it wasn't you. I hope it never happens to anyone again.

JAIL not even close If I catch them it would be OOPS they fell into a spearing hole over thirty feet of water. I would do the right thing and call 911 after I walked slowly back to the access to get my phone from my pickup.

A guy should almost make sure they have protection don't ya think???

Probably shouldn't advertise that. Good point though.

What are people doing leaving that kind of stuff in the house?? Expecially now when you can park your truck right next to the house. In my opinion your just asking for trouble.

how would somebody get away with breaking into 10 houses. isn't there anybody up on the lake during week nights. because i know on the weekends no one could ever get away with breaking into doors with crowbars. especially on a place as popular as hennepin. we all need to keep an eye out for these a$$ holes.

eye,

I don't think you should blame people for getting ripped off. Maybe from now on we'll all be a bit more careful, but they certainly weren't "asking for it". Have some compassion, man.

It sounds like these idiots had a easy time if they got into 10 houses. I would not be surprised if they try it again. When i'm up there i will be on a hightened guard on look out. It's a shame, kinda ruins the fun.

now brad,..... I know that nobody was really asking for it but you were in the last discussion about this. i guess its gonna happen no matter what but remember the steps to prevent fishhouse break ins,....1) take veything with you 2) leave the curtains open 3) don't put some extravagant locking system on it.

Brad,

Obviously no one had a nion sign that said "Here's my gear, come and get it!" But people have to use a little common sense. I have learned the hard way myself, never leave your stuff unattended. I also stopped putting locks on my house after the third time replacing them. I wasn't trying to belittle anyone's pain.

This sucks that people like the *** 's that broke into those houses ruins it for us! I was even up there Last Friday out of Dickies and on Hennipen Island and Heard guys out side of my door but didnt think anythign of it! I guess what I will do since i am always up till 10 am the next day is keep my ears and eyes open at night to watch for any mysterious actions and call the police if there is some! So maybe then that will do some help and I am willing to do this for I am always up till the bite dies down! I will also suggest that no one leave anythign valuable in there house! Need help I am here to the rescue lol!

Your night bite has been that good as of recent that you haven't been sleeping until 10am?

We had that a last year, but not yet this season!

Eye,Bigguns1--

I guess I just misread the tone. Email and web postings can do that sometimes. I'm sure you didn't wish misfortune on anyone.

I wasn't actually broken into and maybe it is because I don't leave anything in the house. I wish you could, and I wish people were more honest and kind.

But, as Grandpa always said, "If wishes were horses beggars would ride."

Just want to add some clarification from Mac's Twin Bay. The houses that were hit were scattered...a few on the gravel, a few on Hennepin, a few on the end of one of our roads. We (Mac's) are on the roads daily and really try hard to keep our houses safe. That's a big reason for harping so much about road passes and speed limits! "Outsiders" tend to stick out a bit, but it still isn't 100% reliable.

If it helps you feel better, my father's house, his best friend's house and one of our employee's houses were included in the tally. We do our best to watch out, but I think "some" people WILL find a way no matter what we do. We had some locked and unlocked. It didn't matter. Upside is that I heard of no vandalism.

Peace.

SpecialK, has pointed out a great point. For everyone that complains about the resort access fees.

These fees obviously have another purpose...to keep these punks off the lake! And speed limits too, guys slow down on the lake, if we all drive slow and some punks come flying around on the lake from house to house that will make them stand out even more.

Lets just hope for some snow too, because this lack of snow enables them better movement on and off the lake.

Good luck to everyone this weekend and lets keep our eyes and ears out for each other!

      My go to lures with lead core have been #5 Shad Raps and #7 Jointed Rapalas.  With Shad Raps I usually start about 2 mph with 85 ft of lead out in 20 ft of water. I usually use a 20 ft mono leader.  With Jointed Rapalas I let out 100ft of lead traveling 2 mph.  I am moving between 20 and 25 ft of water.

      My name is HANNA HENRY .I want to give thanks to HAKEEM AHMED for bringing back my ex husband.No one could have ever made me believe that the letter I’m about to write would actually one day be written. I was the world’s biggest skeptic. I never believed in magic spells or anything like this, but I was told by a reliable source (a very close co-worker) that Trust is a very dedicated, gifted, and talented person,It was one of the best things I have ever done. My love life was in shambles; I had been through two divorces and was on the brink of a third. I just couldn’t face another divorce, and I wanted to try harder to make our relationship work, but my husband didn’t seem to care. and he broke up with me again . I was confused and did not know what to do again, rather they got in contact with HAKEEM AHMED. He did a love spell that made my husband come back to me. We are now very much happy with ourselves. HAKEEM AHMED makes him realize how much we love and need each other .This man is for REAL and for good . He can also help you to fix your broken relationship. I had my husband back! It was like a miracle! He suddenly wanted to go to marriage counseling, and we’re doing very, very well , in our love life . contact email [email protected] or text or add him up on whatsApp at: +27788392740 his web page http://astrologerastrology.com

      You'll appreciate having less guys in the boat if you need to drag raps.

      I love pulling lead core but usually don't pull it out until later in the season.  Can you share depth and speed numbers that were working with lead?  Thanks.

      Heading up early Saturday morning. Going to be a short, discombobulated trip this year. Starting with 4 of us but one has to leave to watch his son play in state (WI) baseball tournament on Tuesday. Rest of us are only there until Wednesday. Kind of disappointing but I'm thinking we'll have to make a trip in September as well.    Forecast calls for wind!

      Those are cormorants and they are aggressive fish eaters.  I saw more last weekend than typical on vermilion.  Pretty common  on the east end but I don’t usually see much of any on the west which is where we were.  They eat a lot of fish and surprisingly large fish for their size so they aren’t great for the fish populations.     I can’t believe how fast the water warmed up.  We were seeing up to the high 70’s last weekend.  Typically mid June is mid to upper 60’s.  The Muskies didn’t seem to be too fired up with the quick warm up.  The ones we moved were lazy and would not go in to the turn.  Hopefully some more normal temps this week help.
