So, basically, my question is straight forward. I curious what lures people will be starting with, I'm talking first cast, on June 27th (or whatever your first attempt at bass will be).
I can see that if you are after SMB vs LMB it'll be different... so feel free to answer as a two-part;
SMB: I've ALWAYS started with a white-big-o, For years... 100% consistently... and mostly it was on Charleston Lake that day.
LMB: not sure, I cannot think of the last time I targeted them on opening day.
What about you guys/gals????

It'll be my first time really targeting bass on the Ottawa, I think I'll start with a top water of some sort...probably a pop'r and alternate with a jig. We'll see how that goes. I have frogs too, those sounds like fun.

Probably my "guts" cause we always consume too many cold ones the night before...

If I start out at my favorite shoreline, it'll be a 10" red shad Berkley Power Worm for the largies in the logs.
If I start out at my favorite slop bay, it'll be a Mann's Hard Nose toad for the lurking largies.
If I start out fishing for smallies.....well I don't start out fishing for smallies.

You know... I've got two white Big-O's (different sizes)... and I have not caught anything on them! Maybe this'll be their year!
I love tossing frogs though... I've got a white one with red legs what has done well for me!
cheers,

For me it will be a spinner bait to start, then move onto a senko style bait as I move closer and then the top water frog for the real fun stuff.

Would you believe I've never caught ANYTHING in the Ottawa on a spinnerbait yet!! I must be up to 15-20 hours of trying, and nothing! I think I'll try dark colors soon. Chartreuse and White just aren't doing it for me.
