houchins alert
Posted: Wed Jun 24, 2009 3:16 pm
sad news i'm afraid chaps.i fished houchins on monday22 june and had packed up and on the way back to the car park,stopped to chat to another angler for a while and whilst we were talking a guy walked down with some gear which he put down and returned to his car for the rest of his stuff.whilst he was gone,the only other anglers on the lake who had just finished packing up suddenly shot off.when the guy returned to his swim his reels had vanished. the culprits(another word for thieving scum) were 2 young lads late teens/early 20's and driving a light blue fiat punto.apparently they are regulars over there on a sun night?. as far as i know this has been reported to bayliff but been warned about leaving tackle unattended.i'm sure somebody will come back with the line about "well you shouldn't leave it unatteneded etc" but where has all the respect gone.
