Silverwood is my home lake and have fished it too many times to count. The advice I can give you is if stripers are your target I would recommend launching and heading over towards the dam/inlet first. Since the winds can get wicked on that lake I will usually try to hit the dam first and begin my paddle back towards the marina around 10 then fish the coves since they are more sheltered. Also since last weekend was the official start of moron powerboater season its best to move out of that area of the lake before they start running in force trying to run you over with a PWC.

Silverwood is a tough fishery and still holds some giants (you just got to find em) but the bigguns usually get picked up by the inlet. Water temps been a little low but the striper bite can kick off at any minute.

good to know. i think ill do that then. and also try to soak some sardines and anchovies. any advice on cats? its been awhile since i've fished out here. we used to pick them up by the dam on mackerel and cut bluegill.

Catfish are usually cruising the areas that stripers can be. If your soaking an anchovie on the bottom or about 18" off the bottom you should get bit. From the marina's dock to the pumping station in millers cove look for ambush areas off the points and you will find them. I have other plans this weekend otherwise I would meet up with you, but I'll fish with you sometime.

Good luck
