irishfield Posted March 27, 2008 Author Report Posted March 27, 2008 Just a good thing I wasn't knocked out cold... would have been a long afternoon in a T shirt lying on that patch of ice beside the truck. To be exact... Silver Lake is about 30KM West of Perth !
Whopper Posted March 27, 2008 Report Posted March 27, 2008 Bum back, cracked noggin, can't hear and you don't drink....man your a mess Wayne At least you went Thanks for the pics
Tarzan's Jane Posted March 27, 2008 Report Posted March 27, 2008 Just a good thing I wasn't knocked out cold... would have been a long afternoon in a T shirt lying on that patch of ice beside the truck. To be exact... Silver Lake is about 30KM West of Perth ! I agree...it was a darn good thing that you were not knocked out cold...and because you were not is mainly the reason I find humour in it...I bet you are still tender...hopefully not black and blue. 30KM west of Perth...got it. thanks
JustinHoffman Posted March 27, 2008 Report Posted March 27, 2008 (edited) Nice report and pics, Wayne... Living in Ottawa and doing a lot of travelling, I pass by Silver quite a bit. You lucked out in having the parking area plowed - it often isn't during the winter. I still have yet to give the laker's a shot during the cold months - have trolled for them in the spring, though... Silver is a beauty of a lake, both in scenery and fish. Some big smallies and largies swim it's depths.... Here's a shot from this past summer of a decent Silver Lake smallmouth - and not far from that magical island. A fish missed my Spook shortly after this one was caught, which would easily of doubled this girls size. (If only the hooks met their mark each and every time... ) I'll be back to get her... Good Fishing, Justin Edited March 27, 2008 by JustinHoffman
irishfield Posted March 27, 2008 Author Report Posted March 27, 2008 I'd never seen the lot plowed either Justin.. just a fluke I guess. I've been going by there since I was 9 months old... about 20+ times a year in my first 16 or so years and probably 10 a year right now... just never stopped to fish it. I know when I was about 8 or so I was sent, with my sister, to the United Church camp on the lake to give me mother a break.. lol
JustinHoffman Posted March 27, 2008 Report Posted March 27, 2008 Wayne - I wouldn't be surprised to find out that a fisherman or skidoo'er plowed that area with their own truck....makes sense if they've got one. Looking forward to exploring that body of water more this spring and summer...some jumbo perch and 'gills are also present as a tasty alternative to the bigger boys... Good Fishing, Justin

Moosebunk Posted January 15, 2014 Report Posted January 15, 2014 People are fishing Silver Lake still... and still they aren't getting any bites. lol.
Whopper Posted January 16, 2014 Report Posted January 16, 2014 Yeah, he's had that head replaced several times since then. Yeah and he probably doesn't drink Pepsi anymore
irishfield Posted January 16, 2014 Author Report Posted January 16, 2014 Based on the past 4+ years Phil.. that would be correct! I drink Diet Pepsi now... no sugar.. 36 lbs less to carry around on my frame thanks to that alone. Seems to mix well tooo...
