How do you organize your tackle bag?


Recommended Posts

Just curious to see how some of you organize some of your Plano Boxes in your bag.

Here is something I started doing this past year for my walleye boxes. Sure helps keep everything together and not floating around in my bag.

I have all my blades sorted and put in these little plastic boxes that fit right into a 3700 size box. I also keep weights, beads, clevis's, hooks, and everything else for walleye fishing in these little boxes.

Works awesome!

Let's see your ideas.

I bought them in bulk from a dealer. My brother used to work for a company that these are what the welding tips came in. I got quite a few of them left, PM me if your interested. Not the cheapest pc of plastic I have ever bought but they sure do make organizing nice.

I use a large soft sided bag with the large plastic containers, and mark the outside with what is in each one.

I use those weekly pill boxes that you can get at any drug store. They're only a buck or two and you get seven compartments. They fit nicely in my 3700 boxes.

Lets see. I usually buy new tackle, open takle box and dump in. Then when I need them I open takle box dig and dig and dig til I find what I need. I then run around the boat picking up packages the wind has blown around and repeat. crazy

That is very impressive!

I have been searching for a walleye rig kit along the lines of something like that to buy pre-made, but can't find anywhere where they are sold in kits larger than like 300 pieces.

I buy a pack of blades or clevices and lord only knows what happens to the rest of them after I open the package...

Very nice!

I have a similar set up as mrfish.

Box 1 has terminal tackle and jigs

Box 2 has slip bobbering stuff and spinners/lindy rigs

Box 3 has crankbaits

Box 4 has spoons and large trout/pike selection

Also use bait boxes for the big water tackle...

B.B.1 has reef runners and other cranks

B.B.2 has spoons

I have a bigger GM bag that holds 6 bigger boxes and one little one in the main compartment

Boxes

1. Topwaters

2. Rattle Raps

3. Other Crankbaits

4. Plastics

5. Live bait stuff (bobbers, hooks, jig heads, etc.)

6. Leftovers/spares

7. Spinner/Buzzbaits (the little one)

The rest of the bag is filled with the rest of the stuff in your average box.

Just for grins and giggles I took out the Berkley scale and hooked 'er up. 17.8 pounds. I thought it felt a little weighty on the shoulder.

      41.6°F in Stuntz Bay Thursday morning.  Left my boat in the water to hopefully fish more before the lake freezes.  Caught four 9-11" walleyes in 2½ hours before I gave up due to the strong west wind.  Water level has not gone up more than a couple of inches at the most.  May be a good winter to jack my boathouse out of the water on the deep end.

      The calendar migrators from the Dakotas have been passing through central MN in trickles the past few weeks, and the recent cooler weather has some Canada ducks starting to show up. We have been harvesting mallards, pintails, gadwalls, wigeon, shovelers, greenwing teal, canvasbacks, redheads, bluebills, and ringnecks in decent numbers.

      It doesn't look like the lake level has gone up at all. I was up a week ago and struggled to get my boat in and out of the public landing on the west end of Head O Lakes. I used my paddle to push the boat further out to deeper water. I could hear the hull moving over the sandy/muddy bottom near the launch.

      Pretty tough.  Was catching about 2 walleyes per hour and the biggest was only 13".  Back up Thursday so I hope I have better success.

      On the South Shore...  With unseasonably warm weather, there are still some anglers hitting the water and most have been rewarded.  Limits of walleyes and saugers being caught, and the forecast looking ahead is favorable. The best bite on the south end of LOW has been in 22-28 feet of water. Water temperatures are dropping and as the temps cool further, the bite has been excellent.     Vertical jigging with frozen emerald shiners has been the program for most anglers.  Bring plenty of bait, as you’ll need to sort through some smaller fish and short biters.  Plenty of eater fish to be had, just have to do a bit of sorting.  Anglers are also reporting very good numbers of jumbo perch and occasional pike mixed in with the walleyes.     For those fishing structure, if you slide up on top of a rock pile, don't be surprised to catch a big smallmouth bass, there are plenty around.   This week’s hot colors have been gold, gold/glow white, gold/chartreuse, gold/orange, and gold/glow white/pink.     One tip, a stinger hook on your jig will catch you more fish if you start missing too many fish. On the Rainy River...  Bait dealers are reporting good numbers of shiners in the river this past week.  Interesting, each night is different.  Some areas have the small shiners called pinheads.  Other areas have the larger minnows.     The river is producing some nice walleyes in various spots from Four Mile Bay to Wheeler's Point, to Baudette all the way to Birchdale.  There are 42 miles of navigable Rainy River from the mouth to Birchdale with plenty of public boat ramps along the way.     Walleyes are being caught in various depths, but 15-25 feet of water has been good.   Jigging with live or frozen emerald shiners has been highly effective. Some anglers are also trolling crankbaits to cover more ground and find fish. Both methods are producing solid results. Sturgeon fishing has been strong.  The catch-and-release sturgeon fishing is open into the spring when it changes to the "keep season" on April 24th. Up at the NW Angle...  Fall fishing continues to be excellent. Points, neck-down areas with current, shoreline breaks, and transition zones from rock to mud are all productive locations for walleye right now.   It is traditionally a mixed bag up around the many islands in this part of the lake and this fall is no different.  In addition to walleyes, pike, jumbo perch, and crappies are in the mix.  A jig and minnow has been the most effective presentation. Good muskie fishing is the norm during the fall of the year and area reports have been good.  In addition to casting, trolling shorelines, points and neckdown areas has been effective.  Muskies are often targeting schooling tullibees this time of year. The weather forecast for the next couple of weeks is conducive for fall fishing.  If you don't deer hunt, or if you have harvested your deer, consider some bonus walleye action before the ice forms.  The bite continues to be excellent.

      I'm not one to leave that to chance the day I need it.  I always check on my stands prior to the season.  Just like I always shoot my rifle before the season and I always run my outboard motor before fishing opener.  Too many things to go wrong without confirming it ahead of time.   I guess it could have been beavers but the house itself didn't appear nearly big enough along one ditch.  It was about the size of chair.  I've seen beavers houses many times before and they appear much bigger than that.
    • leech~~
      Good thing you made a check run.  That would have really suked walking into opening day.  Why do you think muskrats and not beavers?  
    • gimruis
      Well I checked on stands over the weekend.  Kind of a disaster.   All the ditches are plum full and twice as wide becauase muskrats have clogged an area.  I spent an hour unclogging it and the water is slowly moving again, but our bridges and planks were underwater.  The back portion of the land where the best stand is was inaccessible.  Hopefully that changes by Saturday.  I have a feeling the muskrats are just going to clog it back up again.   Tons of standing corn still too.  They've started on it, but being so wet now with more rain coming, whatever's there will remain there for the foreseeable future.   All the grassland is completely flattened like a pancake due to 3-4 inches of heavy wet snow.  That eliminates about 75% of the pheasant habitat in this spot.  Total buzz kill.  And this specific spot was one of my better producers last season because the grass was intact and lush through December last year.
