Quick update on Highland Lake:
Arrived Sat morning at 6am. Parking lot is very small but the ramp and water level there was fine..
Lots of fog on the water - beautiful sunrise. Water levels were down atleast 1 foot if not more around the lake.
Fished early with top water lures - little to no action at all. Headed for deeper water and explored the lake. Very long lake, lots of houses and camps, plenty of docs etc to fish but caught only 1 under a dock with a wacky rig Spanky.
Cruised the rest of the lake and found the logs and lots of structure, water was too low and warm but in the spring and fall this area must be a great spot.
Caught another 14" bass on one of my special JR lures - now up to 14 different species of fish on the same lure pattern I make..
All in all a great place, glad I went but will consider it as a fall or early spring lake, too many pleasure boats in during the day..
Also checked out Island Pond, just south of it. Lots of bass boats on the water - looks nice will return there again in the fall.
