Thrilzz,
So.... if you leave something laying around in a park overnight and someone takes it, that is on you. Same thing here. Once you move out of sight of an item left in a public area, expecting it to be there when you get back is wishful thinking. That spplies x10 if it is left out overnight (not saying I agree with those taking it, but that is not your water, you dont own it).
If you leave a buoy out you are:
Showing that spot to everyone who passes by
Inviting the spot to get the crap fished out of it
At the very least creating a hazard for props if it is in a trafficked area (and LSG is a HIGH traffic lake).
I still occasionally use buoys. I would never dream of leaving them out overnight, adn I would never leave one in a high traffic area.
Courtesy goes both ways.
And if you leave a buoy out on a spot I consider a spot-on-the-spot, I will move it 100 yards to dead water. especially on LSG. I would actually bet someone else simply moved it or tossed it on shore moreso than stealing it.
If you can afford it, and you dont have GPS, at least get a cheap handheld to lay a marker down on rather than a buoy. If I use buoys now it is usually a visual for a drift or trolling run, not a spot marker.
Good luck.
