some guy broke into my shanty the other day and hoisted my lame power auger (sucker)  he didn't take any other gear though...but he busted my lock off...jerk!!!... so if you guys see a eskemo pirrana 8" auger with a broken make shift throttle its hot... i'd still like to get it back and beat the snot out of the guy who broke in my shack   . or at least have him prosecuted to the full extent of the law 8)... anyhow i caught a 10 pound burbot last night so i was in good spirits at the end of the trip.  also this guy put his set lines right next to my shack like 3' away and left them for over 2 weeks now...so since i'm kinda ticked i'll be getting ahold of fish and game.  Some people down there don't have alot of consideration for others, its a good thing we have this site that we can watch out for each other

It would chap my rear too-what a scum bum!

What area of AK are you in?  I'm new to this forum and have no idea where you are-if your in the Anch/Mat-Su area I'll keep an open eye for your auger.  Hope the turd gets his someday!

i'm up in fairbanks...and i am fishing close to town

[Barleydog]

Sorry again Jake!
Maybe KPAlaska, FarmerGrant, Redneck, Broomball, and our other folks in the area will run across it?  Stranger things have happened.  I would doubt it's a fisherman.  Probably some little P.O.S. that has little conscience or proper upbringing.
Can't believe someone put sets right next to your shack!  Did they mark the sets?  Give em' a call!

[KGrant]

I'll keep an eye out.  Check the pawn shops too.

at least your fishin' jake.  I haven't been out for a month.  Between being sick, school functions with the kids, fire department meetings/calls, and projects around the house- time has been a scarce commodity.  Now the weather has been so warm the past week that the lakes are covered with overflow and slush.  I know... that's not an excuse to not fish.  Hopefully next weekend.  Sorry to hear about your auger there Jake.  We have been having the same problem in our subdivision here in Mat-Su.  Over the past week there have been at least 4 break-ins during the day between 5-7pm.  These guys just kick in the front doors, take what they can, do a little vandalism and leave.  My wife is a bit shaken up.  I think I'll start calling her before I leave for work so she knows it's me at the door and I can save myself a whoopin'!

Fishermanjake,

Sorry to hear you got hit, s.o.b's broke into my cabin a couple of years ago, stole my trolling motor and had the auger in the kitchen ready to go. something must have scared them off. i've got a mound of rocks in the side yard now with a sign that says "here lies the last sum beach that broke in". must be a common problem with that eskimo model, i've had a steel leader for a throttle cable for years. i'll be watching for yours.

I had the same problem with my Eskimo also. I ended up using a piece of angle aluminum which I bolted to the factory bracket, drilled a hole in it, then installed a manuel choke cable/knob. Works pretty good with gloves, not too great with fat mittens.

Found this on the Troopers website, wondering if its the same guys next to Jake's shack.

What a shame on the break in...too bad that the idiouts out there have access to the great outdoors too like they do in town.  Keep it in perspective, one day he or she will get theirs. If you need to borrow a powered auger for a trip shoot me an email - [email protected] (I live in the Palmer Trunk Rd. area), keep the flags poppin.

Yes it would make me quite angry as well. I would check his sets to see if he cought any burbot just so he doesent worry about them.
