Renting a boat most likely.

go to silverwood

I fished DVL for the three years the lake was too low for boat launching. I basically had it to myself with the exception of the rental boats. I fished from an Old Town Loon, 13' I think. It was a sit inside but I felt no different fishing from it than a sit on top. I would throw out a swim bait on one side and a triple joint hard bait on the other and just slow paddle along the damn. Great times.
You can pick up a nice sit inside for a couple hundred. I would recommend it.

You can catch the linesides in most coves early when their balling up the shad. Use a 3" swimbait in the anchovie color.

I have trolled Silverwood and had good luck.. Troll Cleghorn Cove and Millers Cove and if you are up for it Chamis Cove down by the inlet area.

thanks guys I really got tips for both lakes so it look like I will try and fish them both for stripers. Who knows maybe ill get a beginners luck at both lakes on the hunt for stripes. another question I have is.. when you get a trout stock what bait do you use then? a heavier model like a huddelston or a bbz 1 floater with split rings to get her just beneath the surface???

If you're fishing the trout plants use a slow sink big swimbait or a Lunker Punker and walk the dog. It's early but I'm already getting the itch for stripers as well. They gotta be the most frustrating species to target though. Get a rental with a fish finder and drop spoons on the schools you come across if all else fails.

Typically I like to throw a slow sinking triple trout, as I love the action and its my favorite swimbait. But honestly, throw the hudd in rainbow or holdover ROF5, slow rolled, they will come.
