Took my first silver trip this morning.  We landed 3 nice silvers and lost 6 others.  We spent all of our time backtrolling and missed several bites.  I exspect the sivler fishing to improve really fast.  For us to catch three this early gives me the idea that the fishing will be pretty good this season, last year on the same date the fishing was poor and most people I saw were also landing some silvers.
