Title: Thief on the Chuck
Post by: blueback on May 24, 2004, 09:21:09 AM
My buddy the Admiral was on the chuck on Sat. He always takes out his crab traps and drops 'em off Spanish Banks before he trolls the area. He did this on Sat. and stayed pretty close to watch his traps, as he's been robbed before. Well this time he was close by and caught the #&*%*!!'s. He was about 300yds off his traps when he saw a new looking 21ft Glasply (white with a black bottom and no top; runabout) come alongside one of his traps and start to pull it. Admiral says it was two 12 yr old (or so) boys pulling the trap with an adult male at the helm. When they saw Admiral bearing down on them in his boat, they dropped the trap and gunned the motor and fled toward Bowen Isl. As they did this, the traps cord got caught in the prop and the prop cut the rope to the trap sending it to the bottom >:(. Admiral got the float back but no trap. He said there was a couple of mountain bikes on board the pirate as well. Be on the lookout folks, as this was the fourth time the Admirals been pilaged. Police have been notified.

since the "bait car" program has worked so well people should have "bait crab traps".... leave a message on their traps saying "you are being watched and will be fined" scare them ;D

Lets get a party going on ;D

You can dance, you can jive, having the time of your life
See that girl, watch that scene, dig in the dancing queen

Friday night and the lights are low
Looking out for the place to go
Where they play the right music, getting in the swing
You come in to look for a king
Anybody could be that guy
Night is young and the music’s high
With a bit of rock music, everything is fine
You’re in the mood for a dance
And when you get the chance...

You are the dancing queen, young and sweet, only seventeen
Dancing queen, feel the beat from the tambourine
You can dance, you can jive, having the time of your life
See that girl, watch that scene, dig in the dancing queen

You’re a teaser, you turn ’em on
Leave them burning and then you’re gone
Looking out for another, anyone will do
You’re in the mood for a dance
And when you get the chance...

You are the dancing queen, young and sweet, only seventeen
Dancing queen, feel the beat from the tambourine
You can dance, you can jive, having the time of your life
See that girl, watch that scene, dig in the dancing queen

Now thats a dive boat.

As I said before...lower me down with my dive gear on one of your traps, and I can spring on the guy who tries to steal the trap.

man that would be fun

An alternative to tacks in the rope, that HAS proven rather successful  ;)

To the top of the trap, attach a six foot length of chain. To this attach twenty feet of razor wire, then another six feet of chain before the rope to the float. The chain keeps the razor wire from cutting through the rope to the float. The razor wire's function is obvious.

Ghawd I hate thieves!

Good luck with it, hope you someday enjoy the level of success reported in the Vedder Thief post!

Cheers,
Nog

Weren't you having a problem with prawn traps going AWOL Nog??

aYup, two lines of four stolen this year. One quite recognizable, as the four traps were research types, not seen in this vicinity before. Dispite an exhaustive search, and several attempted ambushes, we never did find the gear nor the culprits. Probably a good thing on the latter, as I might be the one in the crowbar hotel if we had.

Remaining gear pulled due to this (buddies lines and my crab gear) AND the commercial vacumn now working the Inlet amongst two hundred sets of tourist gear. Slim picking's now, and not at all worth the risk.

Now have 200 feet of razor wire, and many lengths of chain, awaiting next year's show. Letcha know if we find any floatin' fingers...

Hey guys, thanks for the suggestions; all of them were excellent and helped to cheer up the Admiral. He especially liked Nog's input. ;) Me and the wife were out on the chuck yesterday and met the Admiral. He brought out his other crab trap and said "wtf, I might as well use it!" and went trolling. Neither boat got any hits (let alone fish) in the 5 hrs we were out there. Was a beauty day though and we saw a California Sea Lion munching on about an 8lb Spring (we got within 50ft as he wacked it on the water). Thanks again for the input.
