In my experience small spinnerbaits can be very effective early in the year. We have used Musky Candy in black/nickle with good success. What is the first thing you tie on during opener?

I was going to say smaller bucktails, but then I thought plastics worked slower for those colder fish coming off winter, but then I have seen fish hit topwater baits right off the get go. So in true non-committal fashion, I would say it depends.

I guess in hindsight we have seen some good fish on Tiger Tubes early in the year as well. The salt and pepper bear a striking resemblance to crappies. Two years ago on Forest we were out off the bullrush point on third and schools of crappies were busting the surface about every 5 minutes over 14', we went to tubes and casted to the commotion every time they busted. Ended up sticking a couple of 40 class fish in less than an hour. Couldn't buy a bite after we lost track of the crappies. I think in the spring matching the forage is pretty important as well.

|
lots of luck

I think I will start the season off with a black and nickel bulger tail from Musky Buster tackle. Black twister tail, that permananet flared skirt with double blades, looks good enough to me.

What to use around opener????
