First thing to throw

This is where it's all going on. One can ask for advice or general information or simply chew the fat about fishing tackle, tips, and locations.

First thing to throw

Post by Jason Daoust »

With bass opening Saturday what's the very first thing you will throw?

The first thing already tied on for me is a white sweet beaver on a 1/2 oz title shot.

Might start out with a scatter rap crank to build up some confidence. Shortly after, I will be throwing a jig.

Bass coloured skitter-pop was a hit on Monday. Biggest came off a livetarget baitball crankbait.

Was nice to catch fish all day again.

well I always start bass opener at first light with a topwater popper, to be honest my catch rate with topwater isnt great but its too much fun to pass up. Then as the day progresses I start searching around with my favourite search bait, good old 4" curly tail grub, I like it because I can fish the entire water column. If they are higher up I will throw a jerbait if they are down I will hit them with a dropshot or tube. Then as the sun gets up I switch over to fliping a creature bait in pockets and a weightless senko on outside edges.

White Trash Skinny Dippers!!

And heading to a small pond size lake in the Perth area on Sat. our usual catch in there is always between 75-100 bass, what a way to open a season!!

I'll start with crankbaits. Probably a KVD 2.5 and a Rapala Clackin' crank. Not much difference just because it's the opener, I always start every day with crankbaits.

Where is everyone headed for the opener?? I'm thinking I'll head to Mississippi. Jon

You already know you will love it! You might have a hard time putting it down if you start with it though!!!

My buddy and I will be hitting the Ridau around 7:00AM. We thought about Newboro but I didn't want to drive that far and miss out on some fishing time.

For me it will be a sub surface live target craw, followed up with a senko.

If I was to go out (What kinda of Bass tackle hoe misses out on opener?? I migt actually cry) I'd be throwing a Deps Buzzjet, Pencil 110 or PopR....nothing beats a topwater at crack O dawn!

I'd follow up with a sick stick, wacky rigged.

**Edited** I’ll even go as to say what combo I’d throw it on lo0ol
Topwater, MegaBass Flat Side Special mounted with T3 MX
Plastic, DX683 with SS SV

ever one of mine that has feathers left on the rear hook. :)
