I think it would be in your best interest to contact the Sheriffs department. Unless you engraved your name, address and telephone number on everything you had stolen, it’s nearly impossible for law enforcement to begin guessing who the stuff belongs too.
I classify wear parts as blades, bearings, bushings, tires, etc. A bolt tasked with its job in my case should not break. It was either over torqued at the factory or a larger/higher grade was needed in the design.
I have a Eskimo shark. This was my second season with it. I use an electric 2/3 of the ice season, so this auger has had light use. A month or so back, I’m cutting holes, and all of a sudden the side handles come apart mid hole. There are 4 bolts that hold the handle assembly together. If one...
You don’t need one. It’s a stupid luxury item. Glue the air line into the fluid bed chamber. Then use a vice grip pinched on the air line to regulate the air. Basically anything that will pinch the line will regulate the air. I have a $5 Walmart aerator. I’ve found that regulating the air isn’t...
Fluid bed is a must have if you have any love for yourself. It’s a $10 DIY tool that is worth every penny. I use a heat gun to heat the jigs. 4-6 seconds with the heat gun, a quick dip in the fluid bed, hang to cool.

My fluid bed aerator doubles as my minnow bucket aerator.
It’s like 350 for a half hour. I use one of those cheap throw away grill grates. Hang the jigs on the grate and set the grate on a cheap aluminum foil baking pan. I found this to be the best way to bake a bunch of jigs at a time and it’s easy to handle them as well.
Can’t beat a good ol lead gumball bite. It’s one of the few things the fishing industry can’t reinvent to the point where they start costing $6 a crack.
I have my own code that I follow within the rules of law. Certain fish are kept at certain sizes for particular types of table fare. This parallels what LBrandt said up above.
Outside of humanely handling the fish, I could care less about gators. They’re the garbage disposals of fresh water. If you saw what they eat in a given year, you wouldn’t mind them being pulled out. They don’t get big not eating everything in site.
