Nate Ferguson, who lives on Dunn Creek, has a warning for others after 13 of his fishing rods were stolen.
“Even though this isn’t a high-trafficked creek, people on the Intracoastal and other parts of the river, take your stuff,” Ferguson said. “Beware of what you’ve got out on the dock. Pull it in.”
Ferguson said the theft happened in the middle of the night while his boat was on the boat ramp.

“Hopefully we’re hot on their trail and they’ll eventually get caught,” Ferguson said.
