Seasonal Activity Chart
Bluefish
Silver Bay is a prime location to intercept bluefish blitzes, especially during their annual migrations. These aggressive predators are drawn to the bay's abundant baitfish populations, making for exciting surface action. The fall months are particularly productive as bluefish fatten up before heading south. Look for birds diving, a sure sign of a feeding frenzy. While bluefish aren't particularly picky, using metal lures or poppers that mimic the local baitfish is a solid strategy. Be prepared to move around; bluefish are constantly on the move, chasing schools of prey. Access to Silver Bay is relatively easy from several public boat ramps along the lake, but be aware that wind can pick up quickly, creating choppy conditions. Wire leaders are essential due to bluefish's sharp teeth.
