I always like to ask this question each year, what lure are you throwing first in Quetico or the Boundary Waters? Our usual first stop is a creek flowing into a lake and I typically through the Zulu rig with a ZMAN scented jerk ShadZ. I think there’s a 90% of a chance on getting hit on the first cast! So whatcha throwing?

I'll be pulling a "monkey puke" spoon for Lakers Saturday afternoon!

Never heard of one! Is that the color or the name of the lure or the manufacturer?

Either a Little Cleo or a Purple Tail Dancer. I enter Saturday for the annual laker trip.

Depends where I throw my first cast! Should either be in Carp Lake or This Man Lake in about a month, and it will probably be a 4” paddletail on an 1/8 oz jig head. Likely pearl as the color, or maybe a gold shimmer color.

I like to fish a small local river from shore on opener. First couple casts are always a husky jerk to get the real aggressive ones right away, then settle into a jig and minnow.

I'll get set up in camp and then tie on a lipless crankbait. Always my first go to.

I'll setup in camp at the end of the first long day and throw a whopper plopper. New this year is I've converted them to single inline hooks from trebles.

Mine will also be a little cleo or a Taildancer, as I will be in the Tuscarora/Little Sag area targeting lakers.

First lure in the water trolling , purpledescent tail dancer
First lure casting, hmmm, guess that depends on the situation. NedRig or skitterpop

Super Spook! Early evening after camp is set up. Last two years have caught a 20-inch smallie on first cast. Hoping for 3 years in a row!

Blue and Silver LIttle Cleo. Entering next week!

Probably a deep husky jerk in purple descent. Although I just picked up some new hot and tot lures that I may try also.

Unless I pick up a trip before my September trip, it will be a custom painted Pink/White/Purple #16 husky jerk for walleyes while I am mapping an area.

I will most likely toss a spinner bait or a lipless crankbait. I've gotten a couple different ones in the last year that are really effective locally, and I can't wait to try them up north.

Almost always a double blade spinnerbait, white or white/yellow towards the first weed bed or downed tree I can find near camp after we get set up and get back to fishing. If there is nothing close enough to camp and I have to paddle a ways first, then it will likely be a black/gold #9 Shad Rap trolled until I get to one of the locations above.

Black jig with rubber body.

Likely a jig and mister twister.

8" firetiger depth raider, it's a musky bait but the big northern on knife lake love um!

Slip bobber from camp (while setting up) . Leeches for the live bait.

Monkey Puke is the nickname of a green and yellow colored spoon. It worked well for me, I caught a few Lakers on it as well as all of our spoons on our trip. We just got back yesterday.

Very familiar with silver streak spoons, love the black fin tuna also.
Fish alot out on lake Michigan, have always wanted to run some spoons how are you trolling them up in bwca?

Trolling them with a small sinker to get them down 4 to 8 feet.

Zara Super Spook Jr in Florida Bass pattern is my money lure.
