Silver lake Crappies, starting soon!
Hello My name is Roger and I guided for bass and crappie on Silver lake (Cowlitz co., Wa). The crappie start to bunch up by the end of this month.
you can find them on the out side edge of the pads. Just look for movment on top of the water as you are running the edge of the pad fields. If you find a some you could get into more than 100 in an hour or two. Also log booms and plastic docks are a great place till they head for the canals in October.
If you can find mid-lake brush you can find some good sized crappie (near 2 pounds). The Colors I like on Silver is yellow and white for sunny days and black and yellow for cloudy days. Remember to also fish at night in the fall for crappie under lights on some docks. If you would like to see my great Silver lake map of the bass and crappie spots. Do you know about shannondowa canal????? The crappie will be getting REAL BIG AT SILVER LAKE in two years you can get lots of 2 pound crappies!!!!!!
