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.

The gates open at 7AM but I would advise you getting there early just in case of it might be craze but it might be slow

What do people thing about bringing a small BBQ i have one and some charcoal let me know if yall like that idea?
