I decided to setup a tackle work area where everything is close at hand and organized. The shelves are built and the tackle tower and tool drawer are all set.

The organizing is another story. I work at it in my spare time. With the start of winter as it is; there may be quite a few spare hours until spring!

Sorting through all those tackle boxes, totes, coffee cans, and what have you is a big job. For example, there is one tackle box filled with hundreds of jig heads in various shapes, sizes and colors, all un-used. My goal is to put the “current spare” tackle that I use (may use) in the Plano 3700s on the shelves and get rid of the rest.

Get rid of the rest? Yeah, right.


It's not about the fish. It's about the pond. Take care of the pond and the fish will be fine. PB subscriber since before it was in color.

That's the rub. Fish Wife tells people I can do anything I want to; the hard part is getting me to want to.

They would make a great donation to the Silent Auction at the next PBCon. Then some other poor PM(s) can buy them and add them to their own surplus tackle collection!

I don't want anything to do with fixing the world. I tried that in the late 60s and early 70s. It was fun, but nothing much came of it!

The Silent Auction donation is a great thought Theo! That is why you are moderator and I am grasshopper; flailing aimlessly out here.

You, DD1, and my dad must have the same disease, Dwight. He has more lures, swivels, weights, etc. than we could use if we fished non-stop for ten years. You seem to be more organized, though.

I can't be too hard on y'all. I buy plastic worms like they're candy. You never know when you'll need a different size, color, or style.

You will need to create a weatherproof metal box that will house 4 or 5 of those divided plastic containers. Install it on the barge dock and you can rotate stock as required to have it ready and on hand at the point of use.

Ya know, I thought about adding that exact word. But I figured the rest that paragraph was already a watermelon-sized softball anxiously awaiting someone to knock out of the park, so I refrained.

But yes, that is very important as well.

Dwight will you please continue to post pictures of your strategy as it evolves. You are giving me some ideas that I would like to use in my own tackle strategy containment.

Lots of tackle - \:o

Tackle for sale -

Dwight's Tackle Shop - ;\)

More than needed -

Dwight knows tackle -

Tackle gone wild -

Extreme organizational skills -

Dwight's prowess at self-rationalization is presented for all to see.

In the end, Dwight may have too much free time.

I suspect Dwight has no more free time than I do - he just works at home, so his free time is available for constructive purposes.

Dwight, I have my tackle organized by what I have "confidence" in, I have too much stuff to ever reasonable take with me on any fishing trip. Every so often I go through my tackle and put all of the items that I have a lot confidence in into one bag, items that I have little confidence go into storage tackle boxes. I do leave some room for buying and trying new stuff as well, if the new stuff doesn't work out well then off to storage it goes. I will also organize my tackle by target species such as bass or bluegill. I actually have no idea how many tackle boxes are in my fishing room at the moment.

Shorty, I do that same thing with a medium size tackle bag that holds more than I need for a day on the water. It has interchangeable boxes. I fine tune the contents prior to a fishing day or trip for the types of fishing I expect to do. I got tired of hauling one of those giant tackle bags/boxes that weigh a ton and take up a lot of deck space. I have never been limited in any way by the smaller tackle bag.

I do the same thing Dwight. In fact, I carry my tackle bag on the boat with me even though I have gobs of storage under deck It's too much trouble to find anything in the deck compartments even though everything is organized and labelled. Heck, I probably only threw 15 different lures this year and probably could have saved 50 gallons of fuel had I simply left all the other stuff in the garage but as sure as I leave something behind, that's what they'll be biting on.

Second row, fifth compartment from the left. Pretty clear grubs in that one brother!


Good morning Dave, I've checked the ships systems, and everything appears to be running normally.
