Super User Catch and Grease Posted July 7, 2014 Super User Posted July 7, 2014 Well I had to bank fish for a bit because my trolling motor fell apart so I saved up 250$ to get a new one and bought a Minn kota. Haven't even had it for awhile and it ethier fell off on the highway or got stolen. Like seriously I could run through a brick wall right now. Quote
OroBass Posted July 7, 2014 Posted July 7, 2014 Dude I'm seriously sorry man! If someone stole it I hope they catch dinks for life. 2 Quote
Super User Catch and Grease Posted July 8, 2014 Author Super User Posted July 8, 2014 It was on the boat when I loaded it on the trailer 100% sure like 3 hours after I got home I went outside and it was gone. Quote
OroBass Posted July 8, 2014 Posted July 8, 2014 Someone stole it. That What's wrong these days! Quote
Super User Catch and Grease Posted July 8, 2014 Author Super User Posted July 8, 2014 Idk man maybe, it was half ass put on there I guess and fell off on the highway... Ugggh I'm just so tired of buying crap for the two boats we got Quote
Super User F14A-B Posted July 8, 2014 Super User Posted July 8, 2014 Well that would ruin anyone's day... Quote
BadBassWV Posted July 8, 2014 Posted July 8, 2014 I feel your pain!!! About a month ago I flipped my boat, was about 50 yards off shore. Lost everything, fishing rods, bait, motor, Battery. Only thing i could save was the boat and Me. But d**n I've been having fun watching the UPS and FED EX trucks pull up to the house every other day. LOL Quote
Super User Catch and Grease Posted July 8, 2014 Author Super User Posted July 8, 2014 Lol well I'm going fishing still tomorrow! I guess I'm gonna go out in the thick pads and grass and just paddle and drift! Haha I can use my papas boat but at the moment it needs something fixed on it ( go figure ) Quote
BadBassWV Posted July 8, 2014 Posted July 8, 2014 Turning Lemons into Lemonade is what lifes all about. You'll probably catch Your PB paddling around in the Pads and Grass. Good Luck!!! Quote
crazyjoeclemens Posted July 8, 2014 Posted July 8, 2014 Any chance insurance will cover any of it? My boat is an old beater, but I carry a modest policy, in case something happens. My boat ain't worth much, but I do have a newer trolling motor and fish finder on it - not to mention all of my tackle. Quote

We were just talking about getting some then other day, maybe we should Quote
paangler13 Posted July 8, 2014 Posted July 8, 2014 this may sound dumb, but did you retrace your path? if it fell off, I would darn sure try to find it. Not being preachy, but doing things half @$$ makes you look like a whole @$$. Keep your head up. Jim 1 Quote

Jim Yeah I traced my path and it was "gone like donkey kong"A really old fellow named cotton was loading his boat up as we were pulling out so he may have grabbed it if he saw it, he is at the lake everyday so if I run into I'll ask if he has it by any chance... And if it was half @ss put on I didn't know... I thought it was on there really good Quote
aceman387 Posted July 8, 2014 Posted July 8, 2014 Keep your spirits up . I would check the local garage sales or estate sales near you ti see if you can pick up a used one in good shape for a bargain. Check out craigslist also. Quote
crazyjoeclemens Posted July 8, 2014 Posted July 8, 2014 Nope no insurance on the Jon boat.... We were just talking about getting some then other day, maybe we should I never did think I need it, but one of the lakes I fish is a reclaimed gravel pit. The banks are steep and the bottom is a long way down. Lose anything there and it's not coming back. Plus, I had a couple close calls with power boaters that made me think it was only a matter of time before I get swamped by some idiot with more horsepower than brain cells... Quote

Check out craigslist also. I'd also be watching these to see if the thief tries to sell it....any chance you have an ID number or something that would prove it was yours (I don't have a troller, wouldn't know offhand) Quote
Super User Raul Posted July 8, 2014 Super User Posted July 8, 2014 I the son of ...... that stole your TM dies and burns in hell, you don't mess around with someone' s fishing stuff. 2 Quote
Super User Oregon Native Posted July 8, 2014 Super User Posted July 8, 2014 Remember in the good ol days I used to have to sit in the front of a wooden row boat to bass fish as the back end was out. It was a challenge but the good thing is no one else ever used it at the pond!!! Also used to take turns paddling from the front of boats we rented at the coast....we sure had strong arms and shoulders for a few years. (LOL) P.S. Sorry about your loss 1 Quote
speed craw Posted July 8, 2014 Posted July 8, 2014 This sux I just gave one of my old ones away had this happened a while ago I would have just given it to you . 1 Quote
STPC Posted July 8, 2014 Posted July 8, 2014 Sorry to hear about your bad luck. On the bright side, you do still have a boat to fish out of and all of your tackle. Someone had mentioned craigslist earlier; in my area craigslist has not had too many lately, however, the local pawn shops always seem to have one or two in the store. 1 Quote
speed craw Posted July 8, 2014 Posted July 8, 2014 Check forum.gon.com website in ga , in the for sale section they always have something going on in there . Quote
