Fished Silver Lake yesterday afternoon for a few hours, and fishing was slow, but we did manage a few small bass and quite a few rock bass. The first thing I did was flip a tube which picked up a 12 incher almost immediately, but after that the bite was nearly dead for an hour. For the heck of it, my buddy Eric put on a buzzbait and had 3 hits in a row! So we figured out it was a topwater bite. I put on a Zara Spook and started fishing the deeper edges of a fallen tree when out came a nice 2.5lber with an awesome hit!
That one was the biggest of the day although we did get a few more small ones afterwards. Also caught some feisty rock bass on Jitterbugs/buzzbaits which hit harder than most of the bass! All in all it was a great afternoon, I look forward to getting out there a few more times before the season ends.
If anyone is ever in the area (Port Dover) and wants to join me, just drop me a PM.
