Silver Lake

2 May, 09: 12:00 - 15:00, 60 degrees, Cloudy, N. wind to 20 mph.
Fished the North side today checking the developing weeds. The high wind made it hard to position the boat so the boys and I wound up anchoring and tossing. Then pulling up and moving a ways down and anchoring again. I had 1 musky follow twice, 2 different rainbow trout lures, but I couldn't get it to commit. Nice mid 30" fish. The dang rain started and we diecided to pull out for the day. Crummy weather.
The muskies are getting into the shallow mode. As May gets warmer, move shallow and hit the weeds up north and down south. The timber on the East side is productive in May as well. The West side is a good trolling arera along the shore, 20 - 25 ft. deep all the way down to the church camp. I haven't trolled to much yet this year. So I can't say which pattern will be the ticket this spring. I've always liked firetiger, perch and rainbow trout deep divers, of course.
