stolen (SEA) rods and reels, Firhouse Road

vectrahed

Hi sorry if this is not in the correct section but

i have had some rods and reels taken from my front porch, firhouse road, between fri - sat gone

13FT beach caster, silver in colour, attached was a reel, black ish in colour with a silver lip at the top of the spool

also was a 9ft rod that id bought for my son as he to was getting into fishing, black in colour with a large black reel attached, these had been set up and attached were big yellow floats for fishing the sea

3rd rod was a much older one, very noticeable if seen

it was a split cane boat rod and had a small black reel with white line on the spool. you probably have never seen one of these as it was my grandads rod passed to my dad and then to me, its been around well before i was and im 35

it has never been used since ive had it and if any of the 3 is found id like it to be this one, i can replace the other 2 but will never find another one of these


If anyone sees or knows about these can you please contact me asap

the only pictures i have of the rods so hopefully someone in or around the firhouse/tallaght area will see these or have been offered them for sale

I dont have any pictures of the boat rod but if someone sees it you will know its most likely mine as there is not many if any of these around





sorry pictures are not clear of the rods but you can just make them out


Thanks

sorry to hear this, some scum bag has prob sold it by now, i hope you get them back, i have a beach caster at home i never use anymore its yours if you wish, i am in the midlands though, if you comin this way and want it give me a bell on here, it wouldnt be a great one now to be honest, its a silstar ET beach 420H. 4.2 metres long,

vectrahed

Why thank you bayliner that is a generous offer on your behalf, but as you say your in the mid lands and to be honest i am never down or near there

but thank you very much for the thoughts.

bayliner

i better dust it off so its been in the boat shed for yrs!!! gona guess its 15 to 18yrs old, might get ya started till you get up and running proper again?
mate had a large box of trout lures and some rods stolen from his van down here a few months ago, its a real sickner to loose gear you've gathered up for yrs!!!!
cousin had an outboard stolen while overseas with the army late last yr aswell....unfortunatley these scum are every where

vectrahed

have pm'd you my number Viper mate thanks very much

bayliner, thank you very much for this generous offer of yours, sorry to hear about the other stuff been stolen, i think the hardest thing is when its the stuff that's collected over the years and is just none replaceable

i may pop a picture or 2 up sometime to show you if the rod your giving is still up to the task with this nice weather we are having ive got to get some fishing done!

Holyboy

Ah, that takes me back, my second rod and reel were both Silstar that's about twenty years ago, then I had the pleasure of working for the distributor for a few years (sadly gone now). Nice to see some generosity out there:)

Thanks for the replies lads but that split cane on gumtree aint it im afraid


not all is lost though


we have had contact with a lad who lives close by and he has said that he knows who has my stuff, didnt give a name but mentioned a young traveler from down the road in the halting site

he was seeing fishing in the dodder yesterday

Hi there mate I was over ferreting in bohernabreena and stopped off at the bridge behind mortans on way home to see if any decent fish being caught no one there but seen a lad walkin over with a beach caster and had to laugh saying to myself he must be out after shark only a young lad bout 16 or so
Maybe u should take a walk down that way as with this weather the person is prob out all day fishing
Hope this helps

vectrahed

Hi mate, yea i live fairly close to mortons pub and id be pretty sure that the beach caster was mine

i know who took it, well when i say i know, i mean it was the travelers that live just over that main bright there down at the lights

dont know which one it was but was told from a very good resorce

havent got them back anyhow and tbh i dont think i will
