	St Helen's was won with a 5.4 lber or something close to that. 28 boats, 9 boats caught fish, 11 fish total. The water temp was about 51 degree's in the canals and almost 50 on the main lake. I'm not going to say 24 lbs is impossible, but I'd be very surprised. The WDFW warm water dept is going to be monitoring Silver Lake due to the poor fishing and water quality in the recent years. Someone in the Club gave a little speech about it, there should be more info on there website soon. They were saying that for twice a month for the next two years the state, mostly Stacy Kelsey will be doing tests with the water and electroshocking areas and doing studies. I think its a great thing. Have fun next weekend.

	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

	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.

	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.....

	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.

	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.
