Silverwood is my home lake and have fished it too many times to count. The advice I can give you is if stripers are your target I would recommend launching and heading over towards the dam/inlet first. Since the winds can get wicked on that lake I will usually try to hit the dam first and begin my paddle back towards the marina around 10 then fish the coves since they are more sheltered. Also since last weekend was the official start of moron powerboater season its best to move out of that area of the lake before they start running in force trying to run you over with a PWC.
Silverwood is a tough fishery and still holds some giants (you just got to find em) but the bigguns usually get picked up by the inlet. Water temps been a little low but the striper bite can kick off at any minute.
