Thread: How is High Rock looking

I guess I'm not the fisherman that I use to be. Plus, I don't know HR like I use to. You young guys are wearing this old man out.

Real good report and nice fish..

All went back to be caught another day. Much more scattered than they were, and a LOT spookier. Fish were swimming off or going to the bottom at 35-40ft for the most part.

Thanks for info. was going to drag a kayak up there n a week or so….any tips where might be a good place to launch?

What was the water temp?

54, which is surprising, because it was 54 when I was there a week before, and it hadn't been cold.

That whole lake is eat up with crappies. Most any of the public ramps should put you within kayak striking distance of crappies, especially if you have electronics on it.

If not, look up Navionics chart viewer and google maps aerials and look for the water that provides the most depth you're seeking, which should be under 10ft right now with the most cover near by. They're not on cover right now, but will be in a few weeks and are sitting out there feeding, waiting to go up and do the dirty.

I have yet to get to High Rock this year. Might be about time to take my kayak out there and battle the other boats for some slabs!

Went today didn’t get a bite. Cranes Abbott swearing marked fish but no bites. Even tried trolling. WT 57 main and 60 back creek.

Last month caught several 2 lbers and over 100 fish. Hopefully it gets good later on.


Didn’t see anyone else catch anything either except couple small ones at the bridge.
