Rodney, you said you were gonna be fishing in the front of your boat???? If you catch anything in there, let me know. We will have to check your boat before you begin to make sure there are none in there before blast off. HAHHAA Bilge pumps are a great idea, JUST FYI

I wanted to make it down there this year, but getting ready to finally start back up at work monday and gotta clean the garage this weekend. Will be at the potholes club tournament this year! Hope the bite turns on for everyone this weekend.

Looks to be a small turnout. Too bad. Anyone else going that hasn't piped in? We need to readdress this for next year and see if we can make sure it doesn't fall on the same weekend as the Potholes Open. Here is who I think will be there. Phil, Larry, Ron, Don, Jeff, Bill, Rodney, Jose, John G, Joel, Myself. Anyone else?

Going to fish out of the front end of my boat.

OK just tell me exactly where your going to fish and I promise to stay away.

Posted by: Rodney H Posted on: 04/14/11 at 03:48:24
Yes you may pre-fish on Friday. But you can not stick any tin boat fish!

Uh Oh Brian.... when she comes back from her friends wedding...she's gonna want to be married. Good luck with that.

Anyhow. Silver lake is a tough one to guess weights because it is so tempermentle this time of the year. If the bit turns on, people will catch 13-21 pounds a day. If the weather stays the way it has you're looking at 10-13 pounds total for 2 days. Big fish should be a 5-6 pounder at least though. I love this lake. I am bummed I will miss this one.

Really upset that i cant defend my title this year. My girlfriend is going to a wedding in california this weekend, so i get to stay home with the dogs. But i live on a lake and i will be out there. It will take 13 pounds to win it. One tip, find spawing areas.

I will be going with an open back seat (usually have a kid that comes with me). Looking forward to it. My guess is 13 pounds will win it.....

Spinnerbaits can be a factor in catching a few fish, but there are specific areas that allow a spinnerbait to be thrown to the fish properly. I caught my biggest bass ever in this tournament on a blade in 2005 and a 6 and 4lber, but in the end I had to to go to something else for the rest. Weather is a bigger factor on this lake this time of the year, and it been proven especially this year with the poor catches in recent tournaments. If you can get 2-3 days of good sun leading into Saturday, then the bite should turn on. Jigs and brush hogs seem to round out a lot of bags.

I hope there isnt a water quality issue. Seems there wouldnt be with so much water filtering in and out of there. Bait forage would be my main concern. I know there are a good amount of crappies in there, but not sure about other fish. A bluegill stocking program might be nice. And get rid of those darn carp!

Good luck to all, I will be at the Potholes Open this weekend. Lets show the other clubs how WBC can catch them.

BTW, my profile pict is that 8-8 caught that year for those that didnt know.

Time for a tin boater to win!!!

Posted by: Jeff_I Posted on: 04/10/11 at 13:30:29
I'll br there. I think spinnerbaits will be a factor if there is a breeze and deadsticking Senkos when there's not will win it. 18lbs. will do it. Jeff Iacchei
