Title: Where will you be on opening day?
Post by: fiker on March 18, 2007, 07:34:24 AM
Seems like somebody puts this up every year.  But, I've made a couple of minor adjustments.

Which lake will you be on on the opeing day of Bass Season? 
What type of structure & depth will you be looking for in that lake?
Which lure will you throw first?  

I'll be on Cass with the East Side Bass Anglers. 
Depends on water temp as to location. 
Lure?  I'll probably change my mind a hundred times.  So many lures and so little time...........

I'll be on Cass lake with the EBC as well.  I'll be looking for those main lake drops off the sand breaks.  First cast will be a Carolina Chip custom painted Pointer.  A rattle trap will be close at hand as well.

Opening day, they really have that around here???  I don't have any tournaments planned for that day :-\'  Sunday and Monday I do, but not Saturday.  Anyone know of an open entry event then in the Southwest corner?
  If no hits, I will probably be on Paw Paw just working out the kinks, probably fishing points and dropoffs in 10 ft. or so, deep rolling spinnerbaits and lipless.  First cast will probably be topwater though, maybe a secret lure!! ;)  Good luck for everyone!

I'll be on Cass with EBA looking for early spawners on the sand flats.  I'll have a t-rigged tube, and a creature bait tied on and a Pointer close at hand.

which opening day C&R or "tourney" season? ;)

for c&r i'll probalby run to muskegon if they got the turds all cleaned up. I'll be fishing channels with 15-25' of water and wood using a purple/smoke chompers grub. I'll probably key in on some riprap shorelines also with a xrap or bandit if its sunny out.

for regular season... it looks like i might fish the kellogsville club tourney.... not sure if its on white or muskegon.... either way.. should be fun.

Well, looks as if I will be at Hardy Dam after all.  Never been there, so who knows what or where.  I'll be trying to win, so surely swinging for the fences. :D

Most of the big weights come off the beds, it took 19.5lbs two years ago and 21 last year to win. This is one of the best tournaments on the west side all year. There were 70+ boats last year and Im guessing there will be more this year. It should be a blast.

Of course it'll be won on the beds, I suck at bed fishing. :-\'  Actually I am still learning everything, so this will be a good experience.  Good luck to all that show up, and I hope we are still friends after I win!!!! ;D ;D

Ill probably be changing diapers and warming up formula!  I will be living vicariously through you guys for a while.  Maybe the wife will let me sneak out to Kent lake for a little bit.  I hear there is some decent spring bass fishing out there.
