I tried posting in the Fishing Gear thread but I only got one response so let's try GD...
I'm finally dedicating myself to buying everything I need for a tackle box. I was recently gifted a pretty big one. It's got 2 layers and has 19 to 46 adjustable compartments. I was also given 3 different sized hooks, fluorescent beads, and 2 different kinds of weights. So I'd like some suggestions on what to buy for the tackle box for salt water and fresh water fishing. And if you're going to give me suggestions on lures, could you please inform me what will bite on it. Fillet knives to take on fishing trips would also be something of interest as well. |

You may want to keep your salt water and fresh water gear in different boxes. The salt water will ruin your fresh water stuff. This. Depends on the fish where you live really. For salmon, trout, pike, greyling, burbot, and the like your needs are fairly simple. -wire leader -spoons (Blue fox are awesome for salmon and bigger fish) -Mepps Agila treble spinners -regular ol' snells -synthetic roe or other bait -variety of bobbers Edit: If you are going for predatory fish, those Storm fake fish with embedded hooks, muskie, streamer, or frog jigs will do ya. Can't remember the brand, but it is a plastic frog lure with a small rattle inside. Works fantastic on pike or other aggressive fish. Just remember to use the wire leader on the ones with sharp teeth. That should do you for damn near anything in colder waters at least. Not sure about the warmer water fish, but generally is a good set up. |

I'm in South Florida and I am not that far away from the ocean. I obviously plan on doing more salt water fishing of course. But since I'll be moving from FL within the next year or so, I'd like some fresh water suggestions as well. |

Yes. I'm aware of this. I just want suggestions for both regardless. Quoted:

I'd message Slug-o. (I think that is his user name) Pretty sure he's in FL and is kind of Arf's salt water fishing deity. My lure advice is great for fresh water though. |

A smidge OT.
I will never again own a tackle "box". I snagged a tackle bag a couple of years ago. Now instead of lugging every lure and such I own with me I just take the lures and such for what I am fishing for. So much nicer when you have to walk 1/2 a mile of rocky hill to get to the lake/stream. |

I grew up in south Florida, fishing both fresh & salt. I'll try to keep it simple:
1. For Bass, get a pack of Culprit "tequila sunrise" 8" rubber worms, with worm hooks, and 1/8 oz. bullet weights. 2, For Blugill/panfish, get some small hooks (#8), and a slice of bread. Roll the bread into 1/4" balls & stick on hook. "Rooster Tail"spinners also work great. 3. For inshore saltwater, get a chug-a-bug topwater plug, a shallow-diving crank bait (shad pattern), and a Rattle-trap. Maybe a plastic shrimp jig too. That's a start with some basics. If you're not catching fish on the above, get a local friend to give you some pointers. Or IM me with questions, I'll try to help. |
