My son and I hit Highland as the last day of summer ritual. We do it every year the day before he starts school. I've been busy working so I was glad to get a weekday to go play!! Morning was rather chilly, and only warmed to 75ºF by 3:00. Wind was calm in the morning but was pretty rough after 9 am. Water temp is dropping 76.9 was the warmest we saw in 3rd bay. 1st bay the water was rather dingy brown, Second bay was a bit more greenish but still brown and 3rd bay was green. Algae bloom?? Weeds in 1st bay were ugly and half dead! The nice green stuff was down in 3rd bay by the brook. We managed a few fish in first bay around the docks, But kind of slow. Moved to 3rd bay and got some decent fish. Action slowed to a crawl around 9 to 9:30. So we hit the deeper water with Dropshots and cranks. Hit and miss with just a few 2+ pounders from the deep. The bluegils were active all over the place, We even had some good sized perch case the cranks back to the boat. Finished the day with an hour of some fun ripping around in the Strato's. The skiers and jet skis were out in full force by 2 PM. So if you can't beat them~join them! Dang that's some serious fun! Off the water by 3.

Wow, the water was a lot cooler in Highland than it was in McDonough. I'm looking forward to the post Labor Day lull out on the water. I might check out Highland then.
