Title: The first bait I will throw on the CIR opener is...
Post by: Cheetam on April 24, 2009, 10:32:15 AM
Half a senko (Yeah right, put that there for Dartag  :D).

Probably a 4" or 5" swimbait.  I'm thinking one of the Tru-Tungstens I painted up in a bluegill pattern, or, any one of the 5 or 6 others I'm bringing along (I haven't decided).

You?

An orange 1/4oz rattletrap. Then, after the Pike grabs it I'll switch to a Minus 1 ;D

Red rattletrap for me and after the pike grabs mine the next lure will have a fuse

I am thinking about starting a pool to see how long it takes a Pike to swim off with Cheetams new Swim Bait.   them kent pike are lure snatchers.

100% sure it will be the new Goby color 3 1/2" BLT Swimbait. I will post pic's shortly of this new color which "JL" and I developed with Optimum Swimbaits (A California swimbait mfg).

I'm not afraid to say this may be the most realistic representation of our Great Lakes Smallmouths's daily food source.

I forgot to say ahead of time... but it was a KaRu Vibraspin brown craw (http://www.karulures.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=20&Itemid=32) (think it's called chigger craw). I thought it looked like those mean green sunfish in Kent. Actually, the first fish I caught on it was one of those little mean hybrid sunfish...

But shortly after cameraguy and I left the bridge (after the 1st thunder storm passed) I caught a nice 2 1/2 pound largemouth bass on it. Great start to the Michigan season - the bass swam up about 5 feet from the boat and grabbed the Vibraspin. Got to fish for a little while before the next big thunderstorm boomed in.

Skeetermans comment was directed towards me because I mentioned a bait I should not have for the lake we were fishing. He was not being nasty or anything it was meant as an inside joke.
