i would do this then: get a worm binder & keep all soft plastics in there. bring it in to work with you during the day.
---------------------------

This is what I initially thought but then I realized it would only take that one day where I forgot it in the vehicle....I am bound to slip up at some point and forget.

As a second question:

What lures would you suggest for fishing ponds/small lakes in FL.

Everything near me is full of lily pads and grass so trebles or exposed hooks are out of the question.

Not looking to have a complete arsenal just something generic I could toss around from shore for 10-20 minutes here and there.

that's going to be tough to do without soft plastics.

my bait of choice is pretty standard here:
tx rigged 7.5" culprit worm. try some different colors to see what they want, but my big winners are red shad/green flake, june bug, and watermelon.

alternatively, if the weeds are super thick get some small zoom speed craws in watermelon/green flake, and tx rig with a half ounce weight, but peg it with a toothpick just above the craw. use it to punch through weed mats.

if you have some open spots you can always go with a white, white/chartreuse, or fire-tiger spinnerbait.

and get some ribbit frogs for sure. if you're going before work in the morning it sounds like an area they would kick arse in.

ETA: and some white sluggos or whatever the hell they're called these days. my brother would shite a brick if he saw me listing baits for weedy conditions and i didn't include a white sluggo.
