How do you guys organize all of your tackle. I always have so much trouble organizeing all of my lures in plano boxes. I'd apreciate any advice on this.

Aluminum Bass Boat

heavy weeds
Find the pockets of these weeds and pitch either a 3/8 to a 1/2 oz. jig in them with a trailor on it of either a twin tail grub or a crawdad. Also try pitching about a 4 or 5 inch tube in there texas rigged with a 1/4 oz bullet weight. A soft jerkbait works on summer days when the water is warm. just twitch it over the top and let it sink in each whole there is. make sure there is no slack in the line cause sometimes the bite will be just a small tap. Also use heavy line for this. My advice is 17 or 20 pound Treilene XT in low vis. green color.

Fishing hydrella
Pitch a 3/8 oz black & blue jig into the pockets in the weeds. just pitch it in and twitch it up and down a few times, then reel it in and pitch it to another spot. also that same technique works great with a texas riged plastic worm. Ive had best results with a black zoom trick worm.

pre spawn bass
A jig with black and then some other color on it, and a twin tail grub as a trailor. Swimming it is the best technique that works for me in prespawn. I also have success in the pre-spawn with small hard bodied jerkbaits, because the immitate the small minnows and shad that are growing then.
-
home made spinners
I make my own spinnerbaits from the already pre molded and pre painted forms from cabelas. Then i get some blades a skirts and mix and match colors. Im not really sure if they save that much money making them yourself but i know that the hastle is alot more than just buying some. what do you guys think about hts

Answer these questions?
I love to use about a 4" twin tail grub on my jigs. i use the color that isnt the main color on the jig (example: a black and blue jig is mostly black with a little bit of blue so i use a blue grub) but i find that twin tail grubs give excelent action and help slow the fall a little bit to.

Will the very-best crankbait... please stand up!
Mann's 1- Crankbait. If you don't have a few of these you are missing out.

where do you come from
NE Kansas is where I am from. We have a lot of ponds around here that range from 1 acre to 15 acres. We also have about 5 lakes within an hour or 2's drive. But the closest is Ceder Bluff Resevoir, and it is my fav of them all for Bass.

Florida-strain Largemouth
I have never heard of such a thing before. I fish on lots of small ponds just about that size, and these fish spawn every year and there is always a good crop of young bass. I live in Kansas so maybe the bass hear are northern strain instead of the florida ones but other than that i cant think of a thing.

Tips and tricks on cranking
If you want the crankbait to run a little deeper than it normally does retrieve it with the rod tip almost in the water. If you want it to run a little shallower than normal hold the rod tip higher on the air. Also my fav way to catch bas with crankbaits is during the spawn. get a deep diver and find a spawning bed and just go about digging trenches all through it. I've caught quite a few 3, 4, & 5 pound bass this way, cause they think the crankbaits are attacking the nests.
-
Zoom Super Fluke
I'm just putting this to tell ya'll that this bass lure is second to none. I just nail the bass on this, big and small ones (but mostly BIG). I love this lure and if any of you are thinking about getting them i give them a 110% thumbs up. just throw them in any cover rigged waitless and twitch it a few times then let it just sink. Then HOLD ON!!!!! You will catch a bass on these a large percentage of your casts.

Farm Pond
Does anyone have some good tips for catching farm pond bass?
-
Hooks
How do you guys keep all your different size and types of hooks and all your weights and stuff organized? Do you keep them in the same Plano utility boxes as your worms or do you have small utility boxes just for hooks. I would apreciate some advice.

Question about timber?
I just got permission to go fishing on a 5 acre pond that is loaded with standing timber and trees that have fallen on from the bank. I fish with a small 10' aluminum boat. If anyone has some advice for catching the bass in this pond I would apreciate it. Also I heard that it has some monster crappie in it. Does crappie in a pond that size effect the bass population? Thanks for any advice.
