Daiwa Posted March 4, 2008 Posted March 4, 2008 Kindof early but I took out my new tackle box to get it ready. One more case to fill and then I have a smaller one Id like to fill too. Anyone else start getting theres ready? Quote
Super User Sam Posted March 4, 2008 Super User Posted March 4, 2008 Yes and no. Lures ready for Lake Gaston but not for Buggs Island. Still need to secure pliers, gloves, eyeglasses strap, sunglasses, maps and something to eat and drink. Will do this on Friday, if not sooner. Quote
rondef Posted March 4, 2008 Posted March 4, 2008 Mine is always ready to go, I never stopped fishing for the winter. I clean up the tackle box and wipe down my lures after every outing, that way it is always ready for the next trip. I have a huge tackle box filled with every thing I need at all times. The only drawback is the weight, approximately 50lbs. Quote
Pond Hopper Posted March 4, 2008 Posted March 4, 2008 For the most part other than a *** order I have on the way and a 2x4 from Fourbizz. They have only been sorted half a dozen times. : Quote
Super User jbsoonerfan Posted March 4, 2008 Super User Posted March 4, 2008 I just got mine ready to go. And now it is snowing, so it may be a while before I get out. The only nice days I have had this year I was busy. Oh well, I am ready. Quote
rocknfish9001 Posted March 4, 2008 Posted March 4, 2008 I tried organizing everything yesterday. Ive got it pretty good, except i have too many soft plastics to take with me on all trips and keep them organized. Quote
=Matt 5.0= Posted March 4, 2008 Posted March 4, 2008 been messing with mine all winter. Only 3 weeks to go..... Quote
mjhutch1116 Posted March 4, 2008 Posted March 4, 2008 I bought a new boat this year so I had the chance to totally go thru my tackle and reorganize all of it including the 435 dollars worth I bought at bps last month. All tackle, rods, reels, and new boat ready to go. Matt Quote
rfrazier Posted March 4, 2008 Posted March 4, 2008 I play with my gear all the time, think my roomate is weirded out haha. I'm itching for a *** order, but I'm ready to fish. Quote
Daiwa Posted March 4, 2008 Author Posted March 4, 2008 been messing with mine all winter. Only 3 weeks to go..... Your lucky. Ive got like 6 or 7 weeks to wait! I dont think it was the right time to take my tackle box out yet but hey. Now I can make it perfect. Quote
fatmanslim247 Posted March 4, 2008 Posted March 4, 2008 I just bought a yellow waterproof floating duffle bag from bps, took my individual holders and put in there. I organized my plastics into three rubbermaid boxes that are in that bag. It weighs atleast 30 pounds Quote
Daiwa Posted March 4, 2008 Author Posted March 4, 2008 Ill have to get a scale to weigh mine. Ive got well over 100.00 maybe over 200.00 into mine. Should I tie a rope to mine and then the bote just incase? Quote
Super User burleytog Posted March 4, 2008 Super User Posted March 4, 2008 People still use tackle boxes? :-? Quote
Super User Catt Posted March 4, 2008 Super User Posted March 4, 2008 Stays cocked, locked, & ready to rock Quote
Branuss04 Posted March 4, 2008 Posted March 4, 2008 People still use tackle boxes? :-? People still waiting for an opener? :-? Quote
Super User MALTESE FALCON Posted March 4, 2008 Super User Posted March 4, 2008 Sadly, I've been ready since January, but with two feet of ice on the lake and my canal, I fear it's going to be a while before I get to fish. Falcon Quote
Super User roadwarrior Posted March 4, 2008 Super User Posted March 4, 2008 Stays cocked, locked, & ready to rock Our "season" never closes although our targets change in the Mid-South. It's still primetime for smallmouth and sauger around here. Green fish should be coming on shortly, but for me, it's almost striper season, too! Most guys mix in white bass and crappie fishing in the early spring. A little later, monster bream and spots. Catfish fishing also picks up as the water warms. It's always a "great time of year" when the weather cooperates and the TVA releases a little water! 8-) Quote
Tokyo Tony Posted March 4, 2008 Posted March 4, 2008 My tackle bag/tackle area was reorganized 5 times by the end of December, but since then it's gone to crap. I have a lot of organizing to do before Saturday, which is gonna be jerkbait bass/pickerel/crappie/perch bonanza ;D All my lakes will be open by then. It's almost 50 here in Hartford, CT, and raining. Quote
Popeye Posted March 4, 2008 Posted March 4, 2008 Ready, opened, and used x4 since mid Feb. Sure hope all you folks back East have an EARLY Spring so you can get out there after 'em!!! Quote
Super User Tin Posted March 4, 2008 Super User Posted March 4, 2008 Yup, I acctually downsized this winter. Only go with 5 boxes. 2 contain jigs (they weigh about 20 pounds a piece, one spinnerbait box, a box of lipless cranks, and one of jerks and shallow cranks. O ya.. but I have about 50 pounds of plastics. : Quote
tyrius. Posted March 4, 2008 Posted March 4, 2008 People still use tackle boxes? :-? Most certainly!! It's quite difficult to carry a boat around the shoreline of the ponds that I fish. It's much easier to pack a backpack tacklebag full of gear and use that! Quote
Bass n Bows Posted March 4, 2008 Posted March 4, 2008 I'm getting there. Just need a few more stand up jigheads, and maybe a few more jerkbaits, some hornytoads or ragetails, and some finesse worms! Spool up my spinning reels and I'm ready to go! Quote
tritz18 Posted March 4, 2008 Posted March 4, 2008 I started getting my boxes ready half way through winter ;D hope to get out this weekend for a little shore fishing if weather is warm Quote
Hooked_On_Bass Posted March 5, 2008 Posted March 5, 2008 Oh yeah! I've organized it a dozen times and will probably do it another dozen times before the season opens. It seems that I need to organize it every time I get a new bait. : Quote
