Over the Labor Day weekend I went to Jekyll island with the gf. We like the charm of the place and how friendly the locals are. Also, doesn't get as crowded. We've been coming here twice a year for 5 years now. On Saturday I left out 4 crab pots. Two at the pond by tidelands learning center and two by the boat ramp. Saturday night I'm missing a crab pot. Annoyed, I dismiss it as to not ruin a weekend. On Sunday I'm missing another crab pot. At this point I'm furious. I'm peeking inside every vehicle in tidelands to the boat ramp. Guess what I find? One of my crab pots! My gf urged me to call the cops and GSP arrives within 10 min and approaches the man and confronts him. GSP searches the car and finds two crab pots but unfortunately they weren't both mine. The second one looked familiar though. It was the guy I was fishing with and briefly chatted. I don't know his name but if that's you go to GSP station and it will be there for pick up. This is where it got interesting. The perp admitted to taking the pots out of the water and putting it into his vehicle. Because I didn't have my name tag on it he claimed abandonment. I updated all my pots this year brand new pots and rope. GSP could not do anything about it. What's a name tag going to do when a ballsy guy like him can just cut it off?
The perps knowing theyre getting away with it started to get loud and made my gf uncomfortable. We also ran into them on the pier. Some low lives characters these guys were. Yelling obscenities and threats. I started to see red.
