The tackle is packed.. sort of

soemthing tells me that you would know right away if your tackle bag had a
cooler, and waht was left in the cooler. If your tackle bag has a cooler we
can fish from shore all day, just thow out a hook with a bobber and kick
back...

We don't need no stinking practice.


By the way,,,,, Fritz are you going to this? I want another ride on the zen

If we fish together for practice Randy it sounds like we better have a
pontoon boat handy since I believe that I have one of the same monster
tackle bags as you do. Heck, at least mine came with straps so I can
wear it like a back-pack!!! I think mine even has a cooler built
right in!!!!

As far as tackle goes, I have an arsenal of the things Moe mentioned in

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.....

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.

I've given up trying to figure out airline security. I had to travel to
Anniston Alabama for Weapons of Mass Destruction training (4 days of
training, in LIVE VX gas and other nerve agents!) and I got stopped each and
every time, for one reason or another. One guy didn't like the fact that I
had two cigarette lighters in my laptop computer case...

So the last time I had to fly, I thought I had it figured out. I was
traveling light, with only one carry-on bag, so I removed my boots, belt,
everything that could remotely set off any alarms, stuffed them in the bag
and got in line. I handed the guard my ticket, she whipped out a green
marker, drew a line across my ticket and told me to stand against the wall
and wait for security to search me!

They then proceeded to dump out my bag, send everything through the x-ray
machine three or four times, while they discussed my terrorist potential.
They then piled everything at the end of the counter and wanded me until I
should have glowed in the dark, then they let me go. Boot laces flopping
and flying, I got to the plane as they were starting to close the door!

Do I look like that much of a security risk?

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

Al,

If you could afford to fly you would know that this is an everyday occurrence.

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
