Last week's robbery / gun has prompted some people to question their safety even saw a comment that someone would stop going to the pier because of that incident....
While on the pier but I follow some pretty simple rules, which applies where-ever I leave my car
1... never leave any valuables in a car wallet and phone are always kept with me
if you must leave something of value PUT IT IN THE TRUNK
2... If you see someone going through cars... don't approach them keep an eye on them (be sneeky about watching em)
call 911 with that phone in your pocket .... a good description height weight clothes etc
it is tempting to approach the person but you never know what they may be carrying knife, gun or good ol brass knuckles
with the above being said .... that guy must have real big balls. Cause robbing cars with the owners mostly being close by is a real gamble the odds of getting caught is high. Your local Supermarket parking lot is a much more dangerous place .
more importantly... to keep safe follow some simple guidelines
a) No bare feet .... too many lost hooks are around
b) Keep off the railings... definitely no sitting on them. If you go over and the current is strong, you'll be past Forte Desoto in no time
c) don't leave sharp knives etc lying around too many kids are around
d) Stop fishing during thunder storms .... holding any pole in the air while lightning is around is not a great idea.
the above list is not a complete list , just some basics stuff that I have seen on the piers over and over again
Keep safe and tight lines
