1St Bass Of 2015 - What Bait? 2024
JT Bagwell reply :
What bait did you use to catch your first Bass of 2015?
Mine was a white vibrating jig with a 4" Yamamoto Swim Senko (031).
Coincidentally, it was the same bait that my first fish of 2014 came on also.

I think it is awesome how we almost all used a different bait or technique to catch the first fish of the year.
There were a few jerkbaits, jigs and Yamamoto Senkos listed but as a whole it is a wide variety.

Caught my first bass of the season yesterday on a SK swim jig with Menace grub trailer. I won't tell you how little (er, I mean BIG) it was though...
hoosierbass07 reply :
My first bass just came about an hour ago!!!! I'm pumped! I went kayak fishing for two hours at a small pond and got no bites. I used a Texas Rigged Yum-Dinger, the Ned Rig, and slider worm on a slider jig head. No bites at all. I packed up and decided to drive down to another bigger pond to bank fish for ten minutes before I headed home. I pulled out the rod with the Ned Rig and made a couple of casts and had a small bite. I cast again in the area and reeled in a nice sized bass (under two pounds but sill nice sized for the area). It might have been a pound and a half. It didn't thrash around but it sure bent my rod some. It had some power. Once I got it on shore I noticed the Gopher jig head hook came out real easy.
bigbill reply :
Can't fish yet it's too cold and we still have ice.

My first bass of the season was accidental. I was actually fishing for panfish with a beetle spin. It was small (maybe 12") bass. The next one I caught was a monster. I caught it on a blue/black/silver lipless crankbait.
Choporoz reply :
Megastrike Red and Black StrikeBack SpinnerBait
That was actually the second one I got to fight. Lost first one (with green Cut-R) well into a long fight when she broke off my 8# Yo-Zuri. I should say I broke her off since I had the drag too tight for that rig.

I caught my first one on a bait I lost last year and I found it floating in the pond. I grabbed a stick and pulled it in tied it on and two casts later it got inhaled. This fish choked it.It's a sebile squarebill in sunfish flatsided.Probably the perfect bait for that pond.

Very impressive. That's got to be a difference between Missouri & Massachusetts. I don't know that there are 100 bass in most of the waters I fish.
Best of luck!

Its a 200 acre conservation lake loaded with small bass. No personal boats are allowed only the ones the conservation dept supplies . I didnt see one other boat bass fishing . There were a few people crappie fishing . I only caught three that were above fifteen inches . Most fish were in the slot 12 to 15 inches. I kept my limit of 11 inchers . A thirty fish day on this lake is a bad day .
