double 13's

[smeese]

Any follows, strikes or fish on the big blades yet? I know some of you have to be going bigger with warmer then usual water temps. Anyone ever throw that single 20?

[urban cowboy]

I dont think I would spend my time throwing 13's yet.

i saw some guys on a metro tiger lake throwing double 12+ blades and pounders... don't think they had much for action

[bronzeback]

ask Jredig how the 20's worked out for him, I know he was looking to throw/troll something monstrous.

I threw big blades for a while Sunday and last night. Didn't see a thing. Only thing that's gotten any action is a little phantom soft-tail.

I always get dissapointed early early in the season when nothing's really going for me because the last two seasons I've ended on some pretty high notes. Oh well, good to be throwing the big stuff again.

double 13s were intrumental both in locating fish and catching fish saturday.

i'm convinced big blades work all year long, not always the top option everyday but never too far down the list. they certainly work until ice up so no reason they won't work now.

being in shape to figure 8 those things all day long at this point in the season is a whole different issue

[bronzeback]

not meant to hi-jack, but this is also relevant to throwing big blades.

but is it ever too soon to really devote a lot of time to the night bite? Haven't stayed out long after dark yet really. (sort of waiting for a good moon-rise or moon-set night) Fish eat when they want to, but I'm just curious if anyone else is spending an hour or three clinking around after sunset.

[50inchpig]

nope, never too early or late for that either. really any sentence that starts with "muskies always" or "muskies never" is a lie.

all of our fish were on small blades and spinnerbaits, none on bigger blades or gliders.. Cranks are good right now too..

[JRedig]

Based on the reports i've heard and experienced, you can throw any bait throne sells at anytime right now and odds are a fish might eat it. Sounds like muskie fishing....

We didn't see any fish on 13's over the weekend but 10's drew a couple lazy follows. Mostly side to side or dive and rise, some ripped cranks also.

We were out last night. Seen 3 on a spinnerbait and one which hit on the 8 but didnt get hooks in her, and 3 twitching a crankbait. We threw 10's, topwater and some glide baits with no success. Probably start throwing the bigger stuff once the water hits the 70's. We had 65.5 on one side of the lake and 66 on the other.

[riverkid21]

had one small follow on 10's, nothing on the 13's yet.

[Quackaddict9]

not double 13 or 10s but did put a low 40s fish on a 10" jake tonight.

[FutbolGuru]

20's? Might as well attach a treble hook to the bottom of the trolling motor... they'll look the same coming through the water lol

[jtroop]

Both of my fish on the same pink double 10 this past weekend in Itasca County.

[clm]

caught 38 on 13's on the figure 8 on saturday. buddy caught a 44 on 10's today. had a upper 40's chasing the pounder. nothing is too big IMO.

When big blades are hot, they are hot.....No question, you know when the blade bite turns on. Its like a switch. Fish stop following and start eating. Ussually that is not when the water is still in the mid to low 60's.
