Just sitting here at the office, mentally preparing for Saturday, thinking what my FIRST cast of the year should be with.....sort of settling on a 6" Shaker if its 8ft or deeper on the first spot (yes Jonesi, the one that you gave me that looks like it went through battle) or a 6" Hughey if its more shallow.
What WAS your first bait, or what is your first cast going to be with?

My first cast was a yellow jointed Believer back in February on Kinkaid. I hope my second "first" cast of the year will be next weekend on the Fox Chain.

My first cast? Heck, that happened a long time ago...January 2nd... It was a oddball bait, a Jerkbait, not a glider, and not like a suick.

My first cast with ? lure will be dictated by the conditions of that day. Hopefully it is sunny and calm, but I may be holding my breath there. It will more than likely be with a Mepps Giant Killer or Mepps Musky Killer if I hit the lake I am thinking of right now. Of course that may chnage in the next 2 1/2 months!

This post made me go paw thru my casting box again.

Too much new stuff I'm dying to try, going to be a tough choice for me. I'll probably have one rod ready with a small black tandem spinnerbait, next rod will poblably have a Crane 208 hanging from it and the third rod just might be my basement-bait upside-down perch slow sink glider. I finally got to test it out on some open water, it has more moves than Janet Jackson.(and I didn't even watch the SB) If I chicken out on the glider then an 8 " tiger tube will be hanging.Hmmm then again there is this super secrete new bucktail I'm thinkin' about.

I am going to have a 6" slamr minnow bait on one rod, that will see tons of H20 time, and on the other rod, one of my newly MRG painted bagley B flat 6's. There will be a jig on the third rod, and some meat off the back!!! Depending on the weather, that will give the green light to which one actually flys first.

Most likely a Phantom or Undertaker, or quite possibly a Topraider or Pacemaker.

MY first MUSKIE cast (remember,I will be stuck in walleye HELL until June 10th) will be with the new Giant 10" Charlie Sr.swim bait from Mega Baits (no small baits here!!).It will be thrown on the newly identified 2004 BLACK LAGOON. My clients for the day Ray &LeAnn will be greeted at the Presque Isle Cafe with my standard opening line..."Behold! A great and lumniferous sun hath arisen,angry and conflagrant, it stalks the sky, and calls us to battle".
They will then be blind folded and driven to the LAGOON,sworn to secrecy with their right hand on a first edition of Time on the Water.

I think there have been too many sport shows for 7Islands this winter. Adam if you're reading this, please bring bottles of spirits to the booth for the man for the remainder of the shows that he will be attending with you.

Made my first cast yesterday. It looked sooooo purty in the clear,open , soft water. it was the lure that was used to make my last cast of '03, a 5" perch colored Slammer twitched around some sunkened tree tops after some tigers. Only thing I caught was a bass (bait) about 14"long.

I forgot already, it was just last Saturday. Geez. Oh well it doesn't matter we spent the first half hour tossing new baits just see how they worked. The first serious lure was a Bagley Monster Shad that was trolled to the first casting spot where I think I was throwing a drop belly, or maybe it was a DDD. Your guess is as good as mine.
