@Thechrisdays Always buy the best you can afford. But, first ask yourself if you want a belly boat or a kick boat. There's things in common, but lots of differences, too. Belly boats are the easiest and lightest means of getting on the water. Kick boats have oars, sometimes places to put a trolling motor, and you sit completely out of the water. But, they take more room and are harder to transport. With both options I'd recommend waders and belly boat fins. Have fun!
@martynwhit Thanks, Marty. As you know, there's no need to carry every lure or bait you have inside your boat on every fishing trip. So, I try to organize lures and then select ones to take on the water. For small boats (pontoon and belly boat) it is even more important to select only what you need because you have to carry the equipment to the water.
@Thechrisdays Not sure what you are asking here. There's nothing special about starting to fish in a belly boat. Let me know if I am missing your point.
@Outdoorhuntandfish Thanks for watching. No celebration; actually I just deleted around 50 or more videos and will probably drop some more. I guess sorting videos and sorting fishing tackle are good things to do on nasty winter days! Not to worry, I have an external drive 'storage solution' for all my vids! :)
@fishingmaster13 Well, I haven't used the GoPro much because it is the "old" one and I have trouble knowing whether or not it is recording and pushing those housing buttons felt clumsy. My plan is to get the LCD backpack which should simplify, or at least help, figure the darn thing out. They take good quality videos; be prepared for a "fish eye" type of perspective.
@pelletgun12 Mike, I'm sure you meant "clutter", right? No sense in getting your English teacher fired....... :) Fear not, the more you become involved in a hobby the larger percentage of your budget it requires. I'm in good shape so far; can still get boat and vehicles in the garage and still close the door (ha).
@Traveler2112 Thanks for commenting, Bo. Actually those were WAVE lizards, the other WAVE worms and senkos were resting peacefully in their respective bins (ha). I fell off the turnip truck and into fishing a long time ago, and living 5 miles from the national Bass Pro HQ store hasn't helped restrain the purchasing impulse. I like to think I'm smart and have "compartmentalized" my rods, reels and lures for specific applications (like Float-N-Fly).
Don, I like how people think you have "a lot" of stuff. What are they going to say when they see how I store mine. I'm a guide and I fish nearly 200 days a year. I've got so much crap that I might need some day that it is overwhelming at times..... Oh well. lol
@flukemstr Gene, we both know that storage strategies are part of having a decent variety and quantity of lures for seasonal patterns. Oh, yes, I've seen the extensive collections real pros have on board; and that doesn't count for what's on the shelves in the garage or boat shed. Life was easy back in the days of a Zebco 33 and a Plano tacklebox with a few Beetle Spins. No "tackle reviews" on my channel! But, like you, I do try to show what works on the water.
@BillGoudy Spot on, Bill. I consider fishing tackle to be like tools waiting in a toolbox for the job. Another analogy would be an EDC (selected worms, crankbaits, spinnerbaits and jigs), but at times the fish' pattern is Drop Shot finesse worms or maybe tubes or vertical jigging. Another example: right now, I'm "loaded" for crappie fishing.....not a worm, lizard, buzzbait, french fry or crankbait in sight! Each lure or bait has it's turn as the year goes by.
@dennislogston Thanks. "A lot" is subjective of course. I've been coming to this rodeo for 4 decades now, Dennis, and have a reasonable amount of lures for just about every type of fishing I might encounter each year and on the different lakes I fish. What the industry does (apparently to torment me) is invent new and improved this or that and off I go to get a bunch of them and another little box of some sort to put the new toys in!
@dmetzgarful It might seem I'm the poster boy for George Carlin's rant about "stuff." In reality, if you fish using different techniques, eventually you wind up with assorted worms, lizards, buzzbaits, spinnerbaits, etc. Take tubes for example. You might need root beer 3" on this bluff and green pumpkin Mega tubes in trees. I don't have a huge amount of tackle, just a good selection that is best when organized.
Great video, I love those boxes. It's very similar to mine but mine is kept in clear drawers that are labeled. But being able to grab a box and go is a great idea. It's got me thinking about a few things. Thanks for doing this. I'll make one this week in response.
@flukemstr No problem. I'm not a "bin" purist and have waterproof snap boxes and Plano style boxes in various sizes. Most boxes are labeled (topwaters, jerk baits, etc). The "kit in a box" worked well last year, especially for Drop Shotting, Carolina, and Wacky rigging. The rest of the on-board tackle could 'migrate' back to the shelf rather than take up space! Of course I always carry spinnerbaits and some cranks in the boat.
@virginiabassin Like most anglers, "enough" is not in our vocabulary! :) Storage solutions (such as tackle binders) are the domain of each individual angler based on type of fishing and type and amount of equipment (example: saltwater vs ice fishing; lots of differences).
Thank you
