Always my biggest fear, I have insurance, but don't want to show up at 4:00 and have no gear to fish with. So I always take enough stuff home each day (Electronics, rods, reels, tackle bags, etc) so I can fish the next day.
Our trolling reels look old fashioned so maybe they would leave them, lol.
I cant believe someone would even do that... I know I wont be leaving anything on my boat for now on... hope you guys catch who ever it was and ill definitely keep an eye out for it..
