4/20/2010 6:04:00 AMHey Crusty: I had marked several schools that day...periodically. The ones I marked were out over deeper waters. In my experience, this has NOT been a typical year for me and the silvers. I talked to a few guys on Wed the 14th and they had caught a couple of fish each...but it took them most of the day. It got worse from there into the weekend. Good luck and have fun!

4/20/2010 10:02:00 AMTough break Steve, but at least your weekend wasn't a bust with the RW fish. We're meeting up with some folks from the west side 4/30 and 5/1, so I hope things pick up a bit by then. I have no luck on Roosevelt silvers, at least not yet. I need to dedicate more time to fishing for them I suppose. Thanks for the report.
