The tackle is packed.. sort of
Just got an upgrade to the suitcase of a tackle bag I was using. No joke
it had wheels ask Harry!!. My mother got together with my wife and she bought me an early Birthday present( april 10 for those of you keeping track) for my upcoming trip to Fla. A new tackle bag. Appropriately named the "Okeechobee fats" Holds 8 large utility boxes inside, two small ones, 1 on each side and another large in the back. Has a neat little hard case attached to the bag for your sunglasses and 2 more zippered pouches for tools,worms and such. Just started transferring tackle and I still have room to add more, just don't know how long I can carry it. It must weigh 45 pounds(rubber worms are heavy) and I'm not done packing it yet. Organizing everything was fun as fun can be when you can't fish and gives me an excuse to purchase some more things. Hey Moe or Doc...whats the one bait I should not show up to Okee without??????????????/ If your like me and don't want to be caught out there without at least a few of everything, this is the bag that holds everything..uhmm almost everything.. as I type I realize my spinnerbait box will fit no where. Unless of course i spend the 9 bucks on a falcon flat box that holds spinnerbaits hmmmm decisions decisions. 24 more days until departure, 22 until I pick up heavy's beer... 29 until we are all eating steak at the awards ceremony wishing heavy had more beer..... |

Hey Moe or Doc...whats the one bait I should not show up to Okee
without??????????????/ From: "alwayfishking" Spinnerbaits for sure and plenty of your favorite soft plastics -- I suggest worms, flukes,senkos,crawdads and lizards. All sizes and colors -- see the web site for more details. Okeechobee Fats -- seen it, nice bag and I'm sure it will top 70 pounds full. lol -- The most precious thing we have is life, yet it has absolutely no trade-in value.

Hey Moe or Doc...whats the one bait I should not show up to Okee without??????????????/ Here Randy, I'll help them out with a post from Moe from January, copied and pasted he From: Moe Conway ) Subject: The Real Southern Classic Newsgroups: rec.outdoors.fishing.bass Date: 2004-01-24 17:45:03 PST Ok, sitting here in about 3 foot of snow and the wind chill around -25 with a temp of 4 degrees, I said to myself -- Self what would the guys need to know as far as what tackle to bring to Lake Okeechobee? At least 4 rigs -- with all the grass and weeds, plan on flipping and pitching at least some of the time. Spinner baits, spoons soft jerk baits worked over, around and through the grass are excellent choices. Some topwater, rattle traps and shallow running baits may be good producers depending on the weather. Plan on using a soft plastic bait a large portion of the time. Choose any method you like, they all will produce -- on top, texas, carolina rigged, whacky or whatever your favorite is. Like finesse fishing? Bring a spinning outfit with 10 pound test to fish the canals and Kissimee River with. Spool the rest of your outfits with 14 pound test and up. The darker water in Okeechobee makes spooking the fish with your line almost nonexistent so I like to use 20, 30 and even 50 pound Power Pro or Fireline in the grass. Your choice but you will need heavier line in the tough stuff. What Colors Moe? -- If you need to pair down, here are some color hints that will usually work on Okeechobee. Hard baits -- Chrome/Blue or Black, Gold, Silver and Firetiger. Bluegill and threadfin shad abound in the lake and are the main forage of the bass. Spinner Baits - White if you don't have white bring white. Chartreuse, black and red also produce as does firetiger. Don't get me wrong, you can catch them on any color - this is just a general guide. Spoons, 1/2 or 3/4 oz weedless Gold or Silver no need for anything else here. Soft Baits -- Bring Flukes -- Zoom watermelon, watermelon red, white are 3 good choices. Gambler Flapping shads in the same colors. Trick worms in Junebug, white, banana and bubblegum. Your favorite worms in black, junbug,red shad, watermelon. cotton candy, fire and ice, blue/black, or any color you have confidence in should do you. Bring some Komini or senkos in watermelon, junbug and redshad. Lizards and crawdad baits in blue/black, junbug and redshad. Weights from 1/16 to 1 1/2 oz's depending on where you fish and wind conditions. I will try to put everyone that ask on fish, if you look for fish on your own, remember this -- clean water -- if the water is muddy you can catch some fish but you have to hit them in the nose. Okeechobee bass prefer cleaner water to feed in. By clean, I do not mean clear, just not muddy. Hope this helps!! -- The most precious thing we have is life, yet it has absolutely no trade-in value.

Funny you said that, right after 9/11 I had a business trip to Ohio and
while I was there I stopped at the Bass Pro shops and unfortunately had my credit card with me. 300.00 bucks later i was out the door. Could not stop thinking that when my bag went through the x-ray machine it would make every alarm in there go off. But I was dead wrong they didn't even question it, between the line and lures and hooks it had to look like a bomb. but not as much as a wait a second. Go figure. "Marty S." wrote in message ...

soemthing tells me that you would know right away if your tackle bag had a

From what i read it sounds like you lined up and went through security in your stocking feet. Just the oddity of that requires additional security checks. No offense intended |

Hey, Randy, just read your post.
I really like the new Falcon spinnerbait box, but for your Secret Weapon spinnerbaits you don't need one of them. They're great for conventional spinnerbaits with longer, set-back wire frames, but they don't work with your SWs. Instead, get one of the Plano 3640 medium-size boxes that can be reconfigured (http://www.tackletour.com/reviewplano3640.shtm). I've got one that is perfect. I'm able to remove two dividers from the right side and keep all my bodies and spare skirts there. Then there are a lot of compartments on the left side to keep individual blades, plastic trailers, and trailer hooks. If I put four or five heads in the right side, four spare skirts, and then an assortment of blades on the left side, I've got the equivalent of over a thousand spinnerbaits. That should be enough even for you! Joe ___________________ "alwayfishking" wrote in message ... snip as I type I realize my spinnerbait box will fit no where.
