Prelude to a fishing report...what would you do if?

[HOLWACHAGOT]

You planned a fishing trip with your son. Jumped through hoops to make it happen...went out and made bait....knowing it would be difficult to catch later when you need it. Loaded boat, coolers, food, sleeping bags......all ready to go. Have to wait out a little weather situation.
By now your seven year old is fit to be tied...your fishing trip has been delayed a couple days now due to uncontrollable circumstances.
Finally you have a well full of prime size perfect bait waiting for your return to the docks where two dock lines and a turn of the key are all that's keeping you from feeling that familiar breeze in your face as you head off to catch the perfect tide...The Captain is so excited to get back to see his pets before heading of to feed them to some doormats and cobias.
Couple months ago you set up the cuddyback on the docklight pole to catch the raccoons stealing your bait...

You get to your boat in the dark and your livewell is gone...NOT JUST YOUR BAIT.....YOUR WHOLE LIVE WELL! You have the thief's picture. You know where he lives. You know his boat.
What would you do?

I'd still find bait and fish...even if I had to savage a floating dock barrel and do five gallon fresh ups all day...but I guarrantee you one thing you mother fuxxxn thief. About the fifth our sixth time that big ass open top barrel splashed two our three gallons down the back of my neck...I would have at least that many bright ideas.

Ahhhh....I feel better already....

Let's hear it....what would you do?
Please be creative....this is a hypothetical situation.

I would type up a legitimate looking letter from some off the wall medical clinic stating the severe case of V.D. he has and what to do about it. Then mail it to his house addressed to him and his wife.

I am at a loss for words. The captain did not deserve that and whoever did it is a low life.

broomstick for the win

I would print out a digital picture of him stealing the livewell. I would then put it on his front door and on his boat, and all it would say is.

I know it was you!!!!!!!!!!
Payback is HELL!!!!!!!!!!!!
You got 3 days to figure out a way to make me forget about this!!!!!!!!!

Then put a picture of a new Jigging Rod/Reel you really want!!!

I'd post the sequence of the crime being committed right here on the site for the whole world to see. Than I'd email the link to him and everyone that knows him.

Or send it to the cops thieves are thieves, I have no time for them. Take it all the way to court so at least he has a record that he's a petty thief.

Or do what my Dad would have done and take him behind the wood shed and kick his a$$

Rule numero uno.......NEVER EVER mess with a mans bait!

This type of thievery demands an all out assault on this dirt bags existence.

First move would be to pen a letter to his wife assuming he has one.....

Dear so and so, for the past 2 years I have been having a torrid love affair with your husband. I never wanted to be the other woman but I am finally coming to terms with his empty promises to leave you and start his new life with me, I thought the birth of our twin daughters 6 months ago would have finally made him leave you but he just continued to lie to me.....I even looked past the fact that he gave me herpes, I cant say that I can believe anything he has told me but according to him as he described it you are "dead below the waist" and unable to have sex....but if you did you may want to go and get yourself checked by the doctor. I was ready to break things off with him for good until I found out that I am pregnant again, I will not be able to support 3 children on my own.....he says he cant give me any money because he has to support your oxycontin addiction, please get yourself the help you need so your husband can support his children.

signed ...the other woman


step 2

you know his boat, inboard or out board?

Inboard......50' of chain tied to his skeg, the other end tied to the piling...if all goes well he will run out of slack with enough momentum to tear the skeg off the bottom of the hull.

Outboard.....the possibilities are endless..

steal his prop

cut his steering cable with bolt cutters

wait for a forecast with heavy rains and cut the wire to his bilge pump the night before

untie his boat on a new moon outgoing tide

Road kill in the anchor locker is always a crowd pleaser

super glue his electronics cover to the unit

5200 his fenders to the side of the boat

pull out 20' of his anchor line and cut it off.....would be priceless to watch the end of the rope slide through his hands next time he deployed his anchor

Top off his gas tank for him with water

super glue the ignition key slot

Fill a cooler full of short flounder and put it on his boat and call the warden and tip him off about a guy keeping short fish

I could go on forever......
