I just want to give a WARNING to anglers considering fishing High Rock Lake and staying in the hotels in the area. A bunch of trucks were broken into, windows smashed and vehicles ransacked. I was one of them. It's the worst thing to wake up to on tournament morning.
10 vehicles at my hotel alone were broken into. Many hotels along I-85 between Salisbury and Lexington were targeted. They even broke into the BFL tournament directors truck. It honestly feels like a coordinated plan. Like they knew a tournament was going on and they wanted to hit as many trucks as possible.
Salisbury PD said they're targeting trucks and outdoorsman because they sometimes have firearms in their vehicles and thats what they want along with anything like laptops, cash, etc. They're hitting hotels along the I-85 highway so they can get in and out quickly. So just be careful regarding where you stay. Going forward I'll probably spend more money and just try to get an Air BNB house instead of a hotel in the area.
