While loading up my boat I remembered I'd forgotten my cell phone..When I returned..my tackle bag was stolden..There are middle school kids who pass by the sidewalk in front of my house early. The contents were well over 700.00

Let's look in the bag.

Bag...30.00
Worm Box ...worm rattles, jigs, Johnson Silver Spoons, various hooks, weights , sharpener..75.00
Large Plano Box of Bill Norman and KVD Cranks..150.00
Large Plano Box of Rapala Floaters, KVD Frogs, Flukes, Horney Toads..100.00
Scales 25.00
Cannon Camera 200.00
3 extra Symetre Spools filled with braid 75.00
Box of rod tips 15.00
Headlamp and pliers 30.00
Mosquito Repellant 7.00
Box of Rattle Traps 30.00
Box of Rooster Tails 30.00
6 Terminator Weedless in a spinner box. 35.00

Big fat loss...I had a back up of some of the stuff but a real heart breaker. I reported it to the cops. Often my 38 would have been in the bag..thank God it wasn't.

I pretty much am a 4 lure user for any FL body of water.

1. Black worms..I had a reserve of 8 pks as well as hooks..I had to buy more bullet sinkers..

2. My 2nd best bait is a crankbait..I had about 10 lipless and 10 divers for a reserve.
3. My best top water is the Horny Toad..I had 2 pks in reserve.I had no other reserve top water..I lost every Rapala I owned in floaters...bummer.
4. I love Rooster Tails...I had to buy 4 today..I had a reserve of weedless Terminators as well.



I ordered a new scale off of ebay..I should be good.

Lesson learned..people are desperate..keep your stuff locked up..don't over load your tackle box. I had a new box given me about 5 wks ago..I 'm good to go..I just painted about 24 new bullet sinkers.. I spray paint them gloss black and then mist them with Candy Apple Red..(-; Hey, it works for me.
