Silver Lake, 6/4/09

OK Gents. Here I go my first report. I'm a bit embarassed to admit this but I got skunked! Hit Silver Lake on a canoe with a buddy of mine. Only had about an hour and a half on the water. Hit up some of our usual spots, a few coves and beds. No action. The entire lake seemed to be run over with thick weeds that came all the way to the surface. The water was dark and cool, I didn't have a thermometer but I'd guess the water temp couldn't have been above 60. There was a strong wind blowing across the lake coming from the highway and blowing towards the boat launch. There were some fellow fisherman from both the shore and several others on boats and canoes. From our brief convos with them they weren't having any luck either. I was switching lures up trying to find something the bass (or even pickeral) would hit. I was using chartruse spinnerbaits, chartruse/bloodred spinnerbaits, a livebait lookalike (babybass) lure (not sure the brand). Also threw out a Yamamoto worm rigged with a jig head with a wireguarded hook. Even that picked up the weeds! THrew out a double hooked rig (weedless) with an imitation nightcrawler. This was the most effective weedless rig I used but it still didnt' attract a hit. My friend wasn't having any better luck. He stuck with mostly chartruse mini-spinnerbaits from what I saw. We were just about to leave when he said "Man, What happened to this place? It's all weeds. This place sucks" As he said "sucks" he hooked into our only fish on the same mini-whacker. Looked like it was giving him a good fight, but it was only a Johnny Roach. Decent size I guess. Hopefully my next outing will prove to be a bit better, but even a bad day fishing beats a good day at work!

man thats tough....only been to silver twice, but had good luck both times i would say. My first bass of this year came from there with Djmon which went ~3.5lbs on a jig. The second time I picked up around 15 fish in 2 hours between me and a buddy using mainly xraps, jerkbaits, and senkos. All in all tough luck man, prolly just a bad day. Gl next time and thanks for the post.
