You are indeed correct on the the no gas motors. However, there have been a great deal of them out there lately. I know the parks department gets to use one. Some are considerate, others are not.
Suddenly, fishing has gone dead there. Some people caught a few from the docks, but the trout had some strange white spots on them (pollution?).
I didn't even get a bite while trolling everything in the tackle box at every depth. Some fish still jumping out of the water, so they exist, and they're hungry.
One negative about Silver is the wind comes up quite often and really gusts.
I won't give up, though. Still want to try some grubs for bass. Seems like the perch have disappeared.
