So for the past week (4 days total), I have been fishing at Cleghorn, Silverwood. For anyone reading this, it’s important to notice that Silverwood does not close to fishing because the park gates close at a certain time. Fishing is permitted all night, if you make the hike in and most importantly that you have in your possession a valid fishing license.
Most of the fish I caught last week were Stripers (over 20 were caught) on mostly jerkbaits. I am learning that glide swim baits also get strikes when targeting Striper (1 caught on the glide swim bait), as well as top water lures (1 landed). I caught four Stripers on a Rattle Trap lure, which basically targets fish sitting/swimming directly on the bottom. I also caught Largemouth Bass, with these lures as well.
The Largemouth Bass that I landed were caught on jerkbait lures, as well as topwater lures. (2 on jerkbait lures & 2 on topwater lures). I am relatively new to fishing topwater lures. I was able to find a topwater lure stuck in between some rocks on the shore, and by adding new treble hooks to it, I was able to have some success with it. The blow ups were insane, as I was bringing the topwater lure back into the shore after each cast, I noticed that most fish would follow it and attempt/strike the lure (most of which I missed), and in most cases I didn’t feel the strike, but could tell fish were near it or following it.
Overall, I had a wonderful time fishing in Cleghorn. The highlight for me this week was catching one Striper on a glide swim bait lure, as well as landing 3 fish on the topwater lure that I found. I share all of my catches with you out there to help you land more fish. My goal is to help anyone who wants to learn more about fishing in general, as well as land their limits of fish at Silverwood Lake. As always, if you have any questions or comments, please contact me so we can chat. Have a wonderful week out there on the lakes you choose to fish!
