Fished Silverwood yesterday with the family. Water temp. 49.9, Breezy and cool. Got started about 8:00 a.m. and threw the 9inch Osprey switching over to a 7inch Slammer. After 5 or 6 casts...Wham I'm on! LM She went 7.5 lbs. I was pumped. I saw her chasing the bait and slowed the retrieve then popped the rod two or three times and she ate it. Then switched to the slammer and after two casts a Striper hits...what a charge! The fish went 5lbs. After, I concentrated on the kids and we found the bite to be in about 30ft. of water off the main points. We D/S using 4inch plastics and caught fish. Not much going on shallow. Too early. Lets see what happens in the next couple of weeks. It was a great day.
Good job on the LM! Did you get any pics of her? I went up to silverwood for an hour the other day and saw a lone bass cruising the shallows. Hopefully it will keep heating up.
I have pics...just not the digital kind...haven't exposed the rest of the roll of film yet. Someday I'll take the leap into the digital world with firewire and all.....Anyway, have fun! Later
Nice on you catches... where on the lake did you land that LM? Going up there next week. Shore fishing... Hopefully well get a boat but right now its looking Shore.. Thanks
