Had my Humminbird 1199 CI SI stolen last night at the Big Bass Splash.

Sick thing to wake up to.... Bought it few weeks ago.

S/N 14021203-0172

Report filed with Jasper police. Please contact them if you run into it for sale somewhere.

Thanks and god bless.

Dang it. Where were you staying when it was stolen?

I am ordering some cameras that will watch inside the truck and boat. It is two very small spy cams. that will be very well hidden. I have to order 200 to get a great price. Let me know if interested.

Sucks!!! I had one wheel stolen off my truck at lake Athens! But I always take my graphs off and keep them in my hotel room. Just a good practice. Rods too!

Appreciate the comments.....

Was staying at the Econo Lodge. They pointed out multiple cameras this morning pointing to the parking lot.

The police department told me a detective would be assigned.

This is the first time I have ventured outside of Sealy's Fork events.

Will keep you posted.

Hopefully the cameras will show something.

Was it an in dash unit or one you added? I'm just curious how aggressive they were in stealing it. In other words, was it an easy target?

Hate theifs

Good luck buddy. Maybe you'll get lucky and the cops will find the scumbag and beat his hands with a claw hammer.

I had both an 899 and an 1199 on the boat. The 899 was up front on a Ram mount - it was removed each night.

The 1199 was at the console. There was no room for a Ram mount, so I had the gimbal mount modified at a machine shop and mounted directly to the dash behind the wheel. Even with the modified mount, it was very tight. The wires fed through a large hole in the dash and had to be pushed on as the 1199 squeezed into place. I did have to pull it off once and it was stressing both the dash, bracket, and connections.

If I was not worried about damage it could have been ripped out fairly quickly.

Lesson learned..... If I cannot remove the electronics fairly easily then just do not take the boat. I definitely take some of the blame here for not protecting one of my prized possessions more carefully.

Man that sucks, we were staying at econo lodge also. We were in the Phoenix parked up front by the fountain. That place was pretty well lit with lots of people, I saw several people leaving their graphs on and even rods on deck. Hope they catch the guy.

Sorry for your loss, stayed down the street at the Jasper Inn and had people walking around all night that were not staying there along with cars coming in and out all day and night. Finally had to go to the lake to get some sleep and not worry about getting ripped off. I talked to the security guard Saturday night and he said well you know how young people are, got up at 12:00 A.M. and went to Big Sam!

that's Jasper for you. Had a friend of mine lost all of his electronics they same way! never found! BUT I'm sure the POS that got them enjoyed a good METH trip!

Sorry about that.

Maybe this has already been tried but I always thought it would be a great idea to charge a bass boat surcharge and use the proceeds to pay for armed, onsite security. Wouldn't take much to pay offduty cops to patrol a parking area during the night.

I was at a Honey Hole tournament way back in the days of Jerry Dean @ Axton's Bass City and this happened to some boats in broad daylight while the weigh in was going on. Most of the rigs were parked on the road next to the store going down to the boat ramp and camping area.

Hope it wasn't another fisherman, if so and caught would hate to be him! Plaster his name and face everywhere. Hope you get it back!
