Sinaran: sorry to hear about the TDMs who spoiled your fishing trip. But not to  get things sidetracked but an earlier post makes some good points. If you do not have good balance do not wade in the water while fishing. There are spots on the Vedder which lend themselves to fishing from shore. Also, no need to go out far to clean your fish.  If you are up to your knees while cleaning your fish, that is in my opinion a bit too deep to go.  Hopefully good karma, comes to the good samaritan on future fishing trips.

My brother pulled out a floating old man about 80 years of age from his certain death today at Peach Rd.
He was just cleaning his fish...slipped...waders started filling with water....couldn't get back up....toppled towards the deeper water...started floating downstream.
Everyone else fishing there was old and in waders basically doing nothing while this guy was floating downstream.
Luckily my brother was in shorts and old running shoes and was able to get out there in a flash.
He then pulled him out and no question saving the old guy's life.

good on you and your bro in helping save someone

Kudos to your brother. What a brave and selfless act. He just saves a life. Much better than any catch. Salute!

Can you buy a little webcam that hooks up to a VCR. and try to catch them on tape. Maybe disguise the webcam on the dash and hide the VCR under the seat. How much do you think this  would cost?

They'd just steal that too

[deepcovehooker]

Only problem with the idea is that the B***********  would steal the vcr and camera.  I think we should set up a sting operation and then take our own revenge.

Wow caught an 80 year old man...when do the young women start floating down the Vedder.... I'm there.

Sorry about your window Sinaran...terrible thing to have happen on what should be a great day of fishing.

might be worth it for someone to put out a collection box to be a parking lot monitor.  pretty nice job for someone who doesn't fish, but wants a little extra $$.  I know I'd be willing to throw a $5 in the box if I knew someone was hanging around to keep an eye on things.

These break ins are so rampant it's getting to the point where one of the fishing partner stays behind and stand guard while the rest of the party fishes. Or bring your girlfriend / wife who stays with the car.

What happened to the fish ?  good on your brother

[fishyfish]

That is an excellent idea Bentrod. I would gladly pay $5 to save myself the $300 deductible.

[mr.p]

i agree.  I'd pay $5-$10 to fish with peace of mind.  could be a great business idea for someone with the time.  Would be nice to be able to get out for a few hours before/after work and leave my work equipment in the vehicle.  Also would be really nice to bring out a few different rods/reels. 

I've actually considered leaving my vehicle at Fred's or somewhere else busy and taking a taxi to the river.  There are a half dozen or so spots that I love, but are very high risk. its like Russian roulette fishing there.  Sooner or later you're bound to get broken into.

Unfortunately every parking lot around the Vedder is susceptible to this nowadays. Main thing is, don't leave anything of value in your vehicle.
