Hit and Run NPH 4-25-10

[bowler]

My wife and I went to NPH with our two friends. They met us at our house around 9am the time that we should have gotten there but i set my alarm for the wrong time. Well we got to the island around 10am we were hungry so we got some food at a place on the island next to where you get the ferry. The food was good. We start fishing next to the ferry landing we got no hits so we moved over to where my wife got her first bass on a swim bait. We fished there for a little while got a few hits but no hook ups. So we moved to another spot. I was not getting anything on swim bait i go to a drop shot. On the second cast out i get a few hits but could not set the hook. Then i casted it out again i reeled it in a few turns then i get a solid hook up. It ran a few times but it came off. :Sad::Sad::Sad::Sad: We all get hits but no fish. We left a 3pm. On the way back we stoped to get some food on PCH at the Taco Bell we were there for about 30mins we came out and my wifes car got rear end and there was no note left on the car. So the i guess the guy did not care that he hit someone else car. :Sad::Sad::Sad::Sad:

Sorry to hear about your wife's loss. Its happened to me before. See if Taco Bell has any cameras outside that were on surveillance that they can help you out with. Also, make sure your hooks are always sharpened and add bait attractant if you haven't already. It makes them more aggressive on the bites.

Damn sorry for the car and your wife buddy, I hope you get some sort of evidence to catch these fools. You should try smelly jelly bait scent. They work great no joke, I'm not sure where you can order them or or local tackle store carries them, but i bought mine from bass pro last night for 9.99 and you get a pretty decent size jar full of smelly jelly, I believe in one of wingnuts thread he had some on his swim bait.

That reminds me that about 10 years ago at Lake Gregory I had the opposite experience. While fishing, I left my creel and net about 100 feet away while I was fishing a spot where I found some Pumpkinsed Sunfish. I must have been fascinated by the fishing, because I did not notice as apparently someone made off with my creel and net. When I got back to the car, there was a very apologetic note on my car that the person who wrote the note had accidentally scratched my old Toyota Corolla. The person gave his phone number and address, which was in Riverside, and offered to pay for any repairs. Well, I could barely see any scratch, and I didn't think it was worth bothering with, especially given the theft of my fishing equipment! I contacted the local police in Crestline and reported the theft to them, and the policewoman said that was the second equipment theft they had reported there in the past few days. Unfortunately, they never found my equipment or the robbers. If only that apologetic note had been from the robber or robbers, and they offered to return my equipment! I didn't care about any dinky little scratch on my old car, but it sounds like your wife's car had significant damage.

Sorry to hear about the job loss and vehicle damage bro.:Sad: When it rains, it pours! With the unemployment rate at about 14% here in So Cal, I feel blessed everyday to have the same great job for the last 15 years. Send me a PM Greg, I might have a couple of leads for you if you're interested.

Man that sucks. Sorry to say, but there's really nothing you can do about it unless you or someone else actually saw the person who did it.

Same thing happened to me. Someone grazed my front bumper (probably trying to parallel park) while I was fishing in NPH once. Didn't notice it till the next morning though. :mad:

Damn people in Glendale can't park! Well at least you didn't get skunked and rear ended right? slap your self... your 1 of those people :ROFL:

Sorry to here of your misfortune. Working at getting a parking spot on the Island is a chore in itself to fit into what available tight spots that are available. Now it is getting close to the tourist time of the summer and will only get worse.

Not only a problem on the island but on the Newport Bl. is is very hard to see in many intersections due to poor lighting and I have had some very near misses with peds in the cross walks or boarders and bikes coming out of no where!

The price we pay to get some quality time with family and friends!
