Silverwood Lake 5/5/17 report

Started semi retirement on May 1st, planning to get my kayak out a lot more, so here is my first post.

Quiet morning until my brother broke the ice with about a 10 lb. catfish he caught throwing a plastic worm on a rocky point for bass. Released her to grow even bigger.

Trout wanted nothing to do with any lures until I tied on a red and gold 1/6 oz. Thomas Buoyant. It was the only thing they were interested in and I had my limit in just a couple of hours. Best action was at the inlet spillway by the dam.

Wind started pretty good around 11:30 so we made the long peddle back directly into the stiff wind. Cooked a few trout on the grill using a slight modification of Yanni's recipe on fishermansbelly.com. Scored points with the wife and youngest daughter with trout dinner that night.

Nice way to start semi retirement. Hope to have more posts in the future (and learn how to post images better). We do most of our fishing in the ocean and want to give LJ a try this summer. Hope to see some of you on the water and hope you found this post interesting.

Looks like a fun outing! The red/gold Thomas Bouyant is easily one of my best trout lures.

Chunk of a catfish your buddy got! And those trout don't look too bad either. Mmmm... lol. How windy did it get yesterday? Silverwood is on my list, but the near 2 hours drive is usually pretty discouraging for a less productive day in comparison to the salt.

Weather report predicted 15 mph by 1:00 pm that day and I would say it was all of that and maybe more by the time we got back to the marina.

LMAO I almost couldn't agree more. I've never been productive at Silverwood when I had a boat either even though I'd love to try it in the yak. But last 2 trips in salt has been a stinker for me too. Thanks for the post OP

You just don't know what you're doing lol. Haven't been skunked yet on my salt trips or ever once at Silverwood.

LMFAO you got me! Only been fishing a year! Saltwater is easier IMO cause you can always catch mackerel (I say I get skunked cause I don't think those fish count lol) There is so much involved with fresh water fishing which I know takes years to get good at. I watch you tube a lot to learn techniques.

Maybe its because I know freshwater, but I find fishing in the Salt (chartered trips aside) much more difficult. Although the more I learn about the Salt, the more I come to realize its not THAT much different...

You guys obviously have not gone there during the summer months as the whole lake turns green due to algae die off. But yes when water is clear it is a nice lake.

True true, but in the earlier and cooler/wetter years when the algae blooms weren't so massive it stays relatively clearer, and just beautiful but yeah, sorry I need to recant my previous statement as i guess I was giving the good ol San Berdo' too much credit Then again you could come down to my neck of the woods and fish lake perris?
