Bluegill - Big Bluegill

Do you love big bluegill?

For the last few months I've been gathering up pan fish goodies to put together a dedicated blue gill tackle box, was going to organize everything last weekend but the box I had was just to small,  so last week I bought a bigger one, had a little extra time tonight so figured to put it all together.

Now I cant find my sack full of tackle, nearly know its been tossed in the garbage by someone thinking it was rubbish, looked thru the entire house & garage 3 times & it aint here, months worth of tackle gone, bags & bags of grubs , beatle spins, hooks, spinner arms, jig heads of every color & size, small crank baits, panther martin rooster tails, fishing line...

Just gone.

sounds like my luck johnny!!

Not to worry when you get it all replace the old bag of goodies will turn up.

And the worst part is I may have been the one who tossed it, but think I would have noticed, unless my 5 year old grand sonn had something to do with it.

Dick , I hope your right, was thinking the same thing.

Johnny, I know exactly how you feel.  About a month ago, I left my tackle bag on the bank of a river almost two hours from my home.  It was 24 hours later before I realized it.  All the stuff I had squirreled away in that......

Dick had it correct, though.  I seriously doubt there was anything in there that couldn't be replaced (except for some custom stuff). 

AH-HA  !!!!

Found it, stumbled across it,  I had it stashed away in a place where I wouldnt forget where it was, honest.

Think'n I should repent now.

Hey, at least you found it!  I also know that feeling, my tackle bag was stolen out of my vehicle a couple years ago, cops arrested him about an hour later.  I got it all back.  That feeling of relief is amazing!

Wow, does that sound familiar. Hang in there. Like they said, when you get it all replaced, you'll find the originals.
