Bobby from West Ga

I've got a "grab box" that I grab when i know I might swing by the lake on the way to or from work and I keep my basics in it... hooks 4/0 and 5/0 wide gap bullet weights shallow crankbait and 10ft crankbait Bag of senkos 1 spinner bait (double 6-inline) 2 jigs and extra trailers bag of ribbit frogs pumpkin-chart lizards 1 jerkbait 1 Chatterbait pair of pliers and scissors I keep it all in a camo backpack that I can just grab and go and if I'm bank fishing I can carry it on my back while fishing and have it with me at all times... This setup has worked great for me because it's got a little of all the main things I use on the boat when I take all my tackle, and these lures in the backpack cover all depths

I use the 130 with tons of luck, even got a 20lb carp on it

Where we are in Georgia, we have a lot of small ponds we fish, a couple of them are over run with smalls like your talking about, what we do is we go out and catch the smalls and put them In a cooler livewell we made and transplant them to the smaller ponds we fish that are less populated... Congrats on having a 300 acre private pond, that's awesome! Hope you have some luck turning it into what you want!

If earlier than safe light is allowed then I'd probably get to a favorite spot and be there and ready when the sun rolls out

I'd probably take the squarebills, a couple jigs, maybe a Chatterbait and a ribbit frog...
