Three men broke into the premises of St Ives Tackle based on the Industrial estate, in Houghton, at 10:20pm on May 20.
The thieves managed to get away with £12-£13,000 worth of fishing gear and equipment.
The family-run business owned by Adam 33, Micky, 36 and Mike Bartlett, 60 were distraught to discover the damage on Friday.
Adam said: “We had no idea that this theft had happened until we turned up the next day. The thieves got away with a lot of high value items.
