Just wanted to let everyone know had my entire boat stolen October the 2nd at the Redwood lodge. The police believe it is in Mexico??

What no one is telling visiting fisherman is that theft is at an all time high at Falcon lake so please be careful!
I have fished Falcon for 30 years and never had an incident? Now I'm finding out that several bass boats and trucks have been stolen this year, and a huge amount of boats and trucks have been broken into!

Thanks for the warning. Why did you wait so long to post?

We lived in the Rio Grande Valley for 5 years. Finally got smart and moved to Northeast Texas. Theft and drugs are really bad down there. And sabob your right, your boat and evreything is probably in Mexico. We got to where we were scared to let our kids go outside and play by themselves. I'm not putting the Valley down and theres alot of good people down there, you just have to watch yourself when you go down there. Seems to be getting worse around the border.

Maybe, a few of the hotels will hire a security guard for the Stren. They should be making real good money and just feeling my stuff is safe at night helps me sleep before a tourney.

Knock on wood, I've never had a problem. I can live with someone stealing my truck but please don't mess with my Ranger and fishing stuff. Oh my would that cause some issues!

I am sorry to hear the sorry SOBs stole your boat.

nothing worse than a THIEF!

My friend Marty Robinson Had his truck broken into to a couple of years ago when the Elite Series was there. Had all his spare tackle and rods stolen. Then the mexican called his wife from the cell phone he also stole and demanded money to return the goods.

Was your truck attached to the boat or was the boat parked seperately. Was the trailer locked, did this happen at night or during the day. Details please, would like to know how to keep this from happening when im down there.

Ditto..........heading down over Thanksgiving week and would like to know a little more as well.

AYE CARUMBA!!

So sorry for your loss Amigo.

Maybe the laws can find for you the boat that was taken from you.

I have been very lucky down there, I haven't had anything broken into....yet. I am leaving Thursday to go down there. I only stay at Osa Blanco. I completely unload everything though. With the economy, it will only get worse!

Been a joke in our circle for a long time...
Dont like your boat anymore, tired of making payments, make sure your insurance is paid up and head to Falcon....:)

Sorry to here this, that really "sux".

I have always stayed there at the Redwood Lodge. Never had a problem.

Rub it in why dont you....LOL
Enjoy the "entertainment" @ Oso Blanco and dont forget the chilled Tequila shots.

Wish you were going Brother! My wife is already asking " Is it really like the Four Seasons" Sure is baby!

i was just there last week and there was not one car at redwood lodge it looked closed, and they were remodeling the lounge behind oso, there was some trucks broken into at oso that weekend on the front side of hotel

Sorry to hear about this,,,I was down there in augest and caught a 12 pound bass and was so happy that I forgot to go lock my boat and truck up,, ;eft window down cover off and keys on the deck of the boat,(drank a little that night) got up the next mor and went down there to find nothing gone lol lady at front desk said they probley thought it was a sting LOL

redwood is closed down now, called to make reservations for 2010 stren and lady said we are no longer in buisness??

Never had a problem staying at the State Park.

Quick - somebody check Robby's garage...

Maybe good reason to just hire a local guide and leave your good stuff at home!!

no, no it's not. My husband pulled the SAME trick on me.

*looking at you Flwdonater*
