Last Thusrday I was robbed from my pickup while out fishing with my girlfriend on Fish lake north of Fergus. My cd Player, GPS, and my binoculars were stolen from my truck. I am guessing it was a real fast jerk and run they didnt even grab the remote for the cd player. My guess is that they had it planned out, I think they followed me in wathed me leave in the boat and started snatching. It would be pretty simple to do to a fisherman. I would like to have just caught the m#$%^&^&&^^&&* myself. I just wanted to give you all fair warning! be careful guys and gals

At least the A@@s left your truck...A few years ago a buddy and I were out fishing and came back to just a trailer and a little pile of broken glass..No truck...

hmmmm

About a week and a half ago I was on the same lake in the evening. Not only did I catch no fish, when I got to the access my vehicle had been gone thru. I was lucky as I had nothing in there. Still felt violated.

Geez, sounds like a pattern of theft at that access. That's too bad. I would have never thought it was an issue around these parts. mad.gif

Razor blades taped under the stereo, and carefully placed push pins work well:) Then go to nearby hospital to see who got stiches that day:)

While having someone get all bloody while trying to take your stuff is tempting, I'd fear getting sued by te lowlife(s).

Yeah...and the blood stains all over the carpet and seats...

That could cause problems if you're ever stopped by teh cops (or trying to cross the border into Canada). "'Scuse me, son...are those blood stains all over the front of your car?"

The Meth problem in the county is growing and the break ins are part of that issue. Isanti county is another prime example of that. Check the Isanti County News police report. Theft, break in repeated over and over again. Sigh. I was thinking of hitting the area this weekend but now I don't know if I want to worry about my truck on Norway, Fish or Orwell above the dam.

A real bummer. Was the truck locked? I have installed an electronic shrill whistle to my truck that is turned on and shut off with a small remote. It also has a red light that comes on when in the operate mode. The light acts as a deterrant when it is dark. The shrill whistle acts as a deterrant when a door is opened. A warning sign is attached to each door window. Nothing is fool proof but the more difficult you make it for the break-in the more reluctant a would be burglar will think twice about rifling your property.

I would certainly talk with the local authorities about the situation. They do know how to spot people that dont belong in certain areas. They may not be caught but they will be warned. Hopefully to give up their evil ways.

i take my dogs to a quite landing in a county park on the mississippi north of St. Cloud to swim. There is very little landing traffic and it is close to home so it is a good place to do some water retieves. Anyway, on any given day, cars come in fast, see me, circle around and leave. Are they casing the place? What else could they be doing? if I spend a half hour it happened once or twice everytime.

We are also going to have to work with the police. To do that we need to use the same (legal) terminolgy they do. "ROBBED" means a theft in which force or threat of force against a person was used as in a "stick up". It's usually just a "theft" if the stolen iten was just picked up like in a shoplifting. If the theft involves a "break-in" then it's a "burglary" or a "B&E" (breaking & entering). As in " they B&Ed my truck at the landing ".

There are a lot of things we can do to help the police catch these guys. The chances are they won't without our help.

      I might have missed a guess, but here are the ones that I noted:   JerkinLips – March 27th, then April 7th Brianf. – March 28th Bobberwatcher – April…. MikeG3Boat – April 10th SkunkedAgain – early April, then April 21st   Definitely a tough year for guesses, as it seemed to be a no-brainer early ice out. Then it got cold and snowed again.

      Sturgeon Fishing is Hot

      By LakeofthewoodsMN · Posted

      On the south end...   Lots of ice on the main basin, but it is definitely deteriorating.  Some anglers have been fishing the open water at the mouth of the Rainy River in front of the Lighthouse Gap.  The rest of the basin is still iced over. Pike enthusiasts caught some big pike earlier last week tip up fishing in pre-spawn areas adjacent to traditional spawning areas.  8 - 14' of water using tip ups with live suckers or dead bait such as smelt and herring has been the ticket.  Ice fishing for all practical purposes is done for the year. The focus for the basin moving forward will be pike transitioning into back bays to spawn,  This is open water fishing and an opportunity available as the pike season is open year round on Lake of the Woods. The limit is 3 pike per day with one being able to be more than 40 inches. All fish 30 - 40 inches must be released. With both the ice fishing and spring fishing on the Rainy River being so good, many are looking forward to the MN Fishing Opener on Saturday, May 11th.  It should be epic. On the Rainy River...  An absolutely incredible week of walleye and sturgeon fishing on the Rain Rainy River.     Walleye anglers, as a rule, caught good numbers of fish and lots of big fish.  This spring was one for the books.   To follow that up, the sturgeon season is currently underway and although every day can be different, many boats have caught 30 - 40 sturgeon in a day!  We have heard of fish measuring into the low 70 inch range.  Lots in the 60 - 70 inch range as well.   The sturgeon season continues through May 15th and resumes again July 1st.   Oct 1 - April 23, Catch and Release April 24 - May 7, Harvest Season May 8 - May 15, Catch and Release May 16 - June 30, Sturgeon Fishing Closed July 1 - Sep 30, Harvest Season If you fish during the sturgeon harvest season and you want to keep a sturgeon, you must purchase a sturgeon tag for $5 prior to fishing.    One sturgeon per calendar year (45 - 50" inclusive, or over 75"). Most sturgeon anglers are either a glob of crawlers or a combo of crawlers and frozen emerald shiners on a sturgeon rig, which is an 18" leader with a 4/0 circle hook combined with a no roll sinker.  Local bait shops have all of the gear and bait. Up at the NW Angle...  Open water is continuing to expand in areas with current.  The sight of open water simply is wetting the pallet of those eager for the MN Fishing Opener on May 11th.   A few locals were on the ice this week, targeting pike.  Some big slimers were iced along with some muskies as well.  If you like fishing for predators, LOW is healthy!

      Early bird gets the worm some say...   I have it on good authority that this very special angler caught no walleyes or muskies and that any panfish caught were released unharmed.
