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. Last spring I saw a guy pull up a 26lber. The bite has been real slow lately but can blow open at any time. Hopefully that will be on Sunday.

I'm going to be there on Sunday, there is a kayak launch but it is best to use the boat launch so you have a straight paddle to the dam. Just drive straight in and park by the marina retail store and you can unload and wheel your yak to the ramp.
