Arrived very early at Silver lake and found a very full lake; this is the highest I've ever seen this lake. Clear sky's and calm for the most part, only a bit of wind later in the morning. I figured it would be a little bit tough to find a tiger after a very busy weekend of boaters and fishermen. Went to my tried and true spots and had some follows, which is always nice. Changed baits and convinced a follow to become a bite and landed a nice lower 30" fish.
My oldest son had another follow a bit farther down the lake that took a jointed rapala in a figure eighth. That fish took a flying leap and tossed the hooks. It was pretty cool. I had another nice fish swing and miss at a top water lure as well before we headed out at 11:00. That was a swimbait I was popping on top, over weeds. Water temps were 67-70.
