Lake Silverwood 04/01 - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Deefeesha · 04-02-2012, 06:13 AM

I met Yakin and Yakmedic out there, but they called it an early day. I stayed out there until 5pm. The wind started to pick up 11-ish and was blowing like 20-40mph all throughout the day, lots of chop and white caps. It was tough, even for the hobie.

Oh, they don't call it Skunkwood for nothing. However, we did see some guys with nice sized 25"-30" stripers at the cleaning station.

Man thats rough! The weather wasnt looking too good in the am here in Rancho but it sure cleared up real nice later in the day... Saw some reports from Silverwood Lake Marina stating stripers were doing well near the dam and main channel. 32 lb Striper caught on a swimbait near the marina area too. When I get my yak this week, I'll be down for trying Silverwood for some stripers next week. Sounds like they're starting to bite.

Over by the spillway, a vessel recovering team was looking/diving for a boat that sank there. They told me to stay clear of that area while they scanned the bottom.

It was that one pontoon that we thought didn't know how back up a trailer when I was setting up my yak at the ramp.
