Bait thrown for the first cast of the season

[Oklahoma Mike]

Threw my first one of this season more than a month ago. It was a black/red Booyah pond magic spinner bait.

if i threw a #4 spinner in my bathtub, does that count?

[edfitzvb]

If I ever get to go, it will be a KVD square bill, a chatterbait, or a red eye shad in a red craw pattern 

[A-Jay]

Strike King KVD Deep Jerkbait ~ Yellow Perch.

My girlfriend threw her first cast of the year this evening (KVD 1.5 Square). 3rd cast and her first LMB.

First fish was on Jan. 1 with a blade bait. Second was on a lipless crankbait

[Stingray23]

I had 2 baits tied on. A jerkbait and a grub. I threw the jerkbait first. Caught on both.

[papajoe222]

First cast was a #3 Mepps squirrel tail. First five bass were on a single Colorado blade spinnerbait. 

[Brikon]

 

My first cast this year was a Red Lipless Crank,... caught a 15lb Spot as you can see in the picture

If we can make it we fish New Years Day and I always throw a shaky head that day. 

[Wbeadlescomb]

A jig maybe? I don't even know and don't guess it matters. Might have been a slider grub on a 1/16th ounce jighead for crappie. Did catch a 5lb largemouth on 4lb test with that setup the first time I went out this year sometime in January

[Bluebasser86]

I don't even remember, first cast of the year was back on January 8th. 

[adam lancia]

It's very unlikely that it'll be anything other than a weightless fluke.

[Ghostshad]

Know what you mean i get mine out today,just having a few minor things done & its been in 3 weeks or longer so i retired & was gonna fish starting with prespawn,ive not even been . So much for making plans .

[ww2farmer]

Fishing season ends? Not sure how there can be a first cast when there isn't a last

If you live up by me unfortunately it does. The water gets a really dense matt up on top of it and try as I might I can't get a monster 2oz punch weight to get through that matt 

 

First bait tied on this year was a jerkbait. First fish came on said jerkbait within about 10 minutes.

[thomas15]

Strike King Bitsy Bug jig 1/4 with NetBait Paca Chunk  both in Green pumkin. I didn't go to catch anything rather just to cast a few and smoke a cigar (Rocky Patel Decade Robusto). Off the bank where I don't think there were any basses in attendance.

I'm planning on launching the SS Minnow this weekend and will probably start off with a shaky head or swim Jig or a jerk bait.

It was a black/blue Strike King Colorado blade spinnerbait and I caught two. But not on the first cast. One was 3.86 lb. I also caught one on a T-rigged craw. It was Jan 2. I keep a log so I can go back and check things like that. Although lately I've gotten lazy about the log. There hasn't been much to write about on my last 2 trips.

True, for areas that get a lasting ice things are a little different
