Sorry to hear about your loss.

 

Can't quite understand why you'd bother to list a whole bunch of small stuff and not give the Penn models and IS bino brand and model.  Those will be the ones that will be easiest to spot.

Talk about getting cleaned out. Sounds like it was pretty well planned to hit all the big charter boats and give themselves time to hit the road and get well clear before the alarm was raised.

All good gear too,.

Shit, thats no good... Was this at Gantheume Point hey... We were wondering this the othr day when we crusied past whether you have lock up cabins where you store everything so late night visitors dont have a free tackle store to visit...

Will keep a lookout round Broome for ya anyway... Most likely theyd be out of towners and are long gone from here by now but...

sorry to hear.
