It's a good lake but can be a zoo on a summer weekend, keep your head on a swivel and pay close attention to jet skiers

For stripers I bring my calico bass set up, spooled with 30lb spectra and fling the hell out of some swimbaits, waxwings, any big lure you have basically. For trolling I will put on a rat-l-trap or rapala.

For a bait rod, I fish 12-17lb line and let it drift while I work a lure.

Silverwood held the state record on Striped bass for quite a few years and there are still some bigguns in the lake. The bite has been intermittent lately but can blow up any time the weather is hot.

Bring an outfit for panfish too, last week I paddled into an early morning crappie boil, it was crazy to see.
