Steelie wiggle-warts w/extra wide lip for deep diving and depth control tabs in tiger brown, flame orange and yellow fished off the rigger apprx 15 ft above the fish. Oh yeah with a rattle.
Not sure if they still produce that model with the depth control tabs, but it sure helps to have the tabs to control lure action. Lure action is the key. Gotta piss em off to produce strikes!
There's also a trolling technique that applies to Silvers. It requires constant attention to the depth finder. The way you trigger Silvers to strike is the direction you troll through their schools. Not the right direction and all your doing is enjoying the afternoon out on the water. Troll the right way and its Fish on!
My trolling technique on silvers is based on my river techniques. Troll through shallow areas where fish are holding, lure them into deeper water by speeding up the troll ( Silvers like to follow fast objects, now whether they bite that's a different story), then slow down once your in deeper water so your lure is wobbling deadly slow. Usually you'll entice a strike then, if not speed up again, and make sure your drag is loose because Silvers can hit hard when they see what appeared to be an injured bait try to haul arse away.
In Yarrow bay if you have a good fish finder you'll know right away if you pay attention to it where to fish. There's a few drop offs in the bay that have deep channels, troll over the shallow areas into the deep channels. The silvers are holding along the top of those drop offs.
This year the silvers are BIG! I suggest you come prepared with some stout line.
