fire road and fishing!!!

never fished silverwood. any good? wife has been wanting to take the 5th wheel and boat up there for a weekend trip. i hear its tough to get a spot on the lake as they limit the amount of boats and it fills up quik.


I rarely go out on Silverwood on a boat. I usually am in my float tube and I fish the cove at the back end of the lake. You have to hike in from the old entrance. When I have gone out on a boat I went mid week. Last time I was on a boat, their were only 2 other boats on the entire lake. I have occossionally been out there on the weekend and it can get rather crazy. Mid week is MUCH better.

I'm a teacher so I have summer off. I do ALL my fishing during the week. I use the weekends to hang with the wife and son.
 
Alright so I contacted the 7 Oaks campground are they are full this weekend. So we will not be using one of their spots to Bar-b-q. We are still gonna do the Mt. Home Village to 7 Oaks run and fish after. We are now just going to eat lunch at the little Restaurant in 7 Oaks. I will be doing some stream fishing but there are plenty of spots in that area to just pull up a cooler and chair and sit with a bell on your pole or just hang out and not fish at all. From what I can tell it looks like there is only two Jeeps for sure. Is anyone else wanting to join us? I don't want to accidentally leave someone at the trail head.
 
We talked about meeting between 8 & 9 am. I'm thinking sleeping in a little is sounding pretty good. I was thinking we meet at 9:00 am off 38 and the trail head. My son has been getting up earlier this week for some reason and I'm running low on sleep.
 
ok 9 am at the trail head!! off highway 38 for those interested if u need more info feel free to pm me or call me at 909 - two 2 two - 0 3 one zero
 
If ya'll do this in May, let me know. My dad's a big trout fisherman and this might be the way I get him out wheelin.

I fish the Santa Ana at least once a week from Early June to late August. I love fishing and it's real close to my house. When I go I will shoot you a PM.

Not gonna make it. Didn't pass smog this morning because I just reset the code. I guess you have to drive 70 some miles before it will clear completely. So, I drove it to work today and have to take it back in the morning.

Plus my daughters boyfriend wrecked her car last night, so I need to try to find her a new car this weekend.
 
justin - sorry to hear all that bro we will miss your antics.. take care of the familia first bro.. theres always next time

I just got off the phone with my buddy Trevor who will be joining us tomorrow. I told him about doing some shooting while we are up in the hunting grounds. He is bringing a few of his guns and badly wants to join us on the trail section. He originally was going to meet us at 7 oaks for fishing and lunch. He can't meet at 9:00 but he can meet at 10:00 am. Are you willing to wait an hour so he can join us for the trail and shooting part? That still gives us plenty of time to do everything. You can call me on my cell in the morning anytime after 6:00 am.

damn :( i just saw this and wish i could go. I love fishing. I will have 12 furlow days during the summer and working 4 10 hour work days during it so off on Fridays. I am thinking of taking a furlow day or two for each week so have 2 or 3 day work week. Let me know if u want to hit Silverwood (i dont have a float tube though so if u can recomend one and such would appreciate it and I can check BPS for them). I used to have a 17 foot Bass Tracker boat but had to sell it in my divorse :(. I like to stream fish as well. I will send u a PM with my number so i can know next time when u want to go out as i have been busy and not on here as much at the moment if know what i mean :).

Sounds good. I don't fish too much this time of year because I am still teaching, but as soon as summer hits (June 10th), I will be going regularly. I will shoot you a PM next time I go.

That would be great! :D
 
Had a great time today. We all caught multiple fish and the bacon cheesburger at the 7 Oaks Restaraunt was off the hook. Good suggestion Justin. To bad you couldn't be there. The Hunting Grounds were closed so we just took some back roads out into nowhere and did some shooting. I thought I would be a great shot, but I was rather terrible. I was all over the place with the 357. I finally was able to get a little more accurate with Steve's 9mm. I also want to get my new 12 gauge out soon and do some skeet shooting with it. We will have to do that again soon.
 
yeah that was great.. lol my mom wants to go next time lol... its been a long time since i had fished a stream and it was fun.. but the burger did make the trip!!! thanks for playing trail guide brad lol... and as far as u being a good shot... i challenge u lol

I am glad you all had a good time :). Any pics of the fish/trip? :).

I have a clay pigeon thrower i picked up awhile back. Have not used it yet so let me know sometime this summer when u get out of school to see if the new 12 gauge is any good :).
