Sorry to hear that. Had that happen to a friend years ago so we always run a lock on ours. Whatta shame the measures we have to take to protect our own property. Really is sad.
Hows the fishing on Fletchers. Havent been up there in years. Used to go up ice fishing and catch some gills and BIG pike on tip ups. Been a long time though.
Ill be purchasing the Fishhawk X4. Small probe, dont need coated cable and it works great. Buddy has one on his boat and its the cats meow. Will have one by next season.
