Location: Kodiak, AK		It's not me....it's the lake. And the fact that I only own a handful of 8" Jakes, no 6" Jakes and too many 10" Jakes to count....same goes for the blades and plastics. Don't own more than a couple reg dawgs, but a boat load of mags and pounders. By and large, I believe in big baits.

Location: Southern Ontario, Detroit River and Lake StClair		Well after catching the last fish that I posted a picture of earlier in the this thread I've quite a bit more confidence in my large blades. Yesterday morning while out with my boys I was tossing a Tackle Industries BootyTail dbl #13 Silver Perch. We were up on top a 7-8ft flat off a step drop into 25ft of water. The wind was blowing off the main lake onto this flat and had blown a lot of shad that the Muskie are feeding on right now up on to it. We had fish this oine area that had a few rock pile on it for about an hour with my boys throwing dbl #8, dbl #10 spinners along with standard weighted BullDawgs. About 10:15 a.m. (moonrise was 10:01) I felt a slight tick and wasn't sure if I had tapped the top of the rocks or not so I set the hook. It tugged back so I set the hook twice more. After a few good runs and two chase around the boat drills my oldest boy slipped the net under this beauty. 52 3/4"x24" Why almost 3" shy of my all time PB it tops my list of fish while casting. It also adds again to my confidence level of big blades. I've heard alot of guy stop throwing blades when the water dips below 60 degrees which had me questioning thing as our temps were in the 56-57 degree range. I was slow rolling the bait just along bottom instead of a standard just below the surface retrieve but the results go to show they also work in colder water. I'll be throwing them until our season closes Dec 15th which usually leaves us with water temps in the mid to upper 30 degree range. Have to see how thing play out as the fall progresses. Here's a pic.

Good Fishin'
Tim

Love my double #13 Booty Tails. They have produced some very large fish for me in 2010. For $18 a piece you can not go wrong. They pull a little more than a double #10 but not that much more and IMO will boat you more fish.

#*^@ Tim those are some nice fish! You just sold me on the 12's and 13's. I just started throwing 10's on a regular basis this year. I don't own any 12's or 13's but I will be getting some.
