Put a fish finder on your boat & learn to locate schools of fish. Look in the middle of some deep pockets. Once you locate a school, drop live minnows on top of them. You'll load the live well while the folks on the bank get really pissed.

I swore Hillabee off last year! I feel like a dang good fisherman, but I can't catch crap out of it! I feel confident saying the fish aren't on the banks there. I think over two years, maybe 5 or 6 trips, I caught maybe 10 fish. And they were all little dinks. My assumption is those fish live suspended, and don't remain stationary. Only other explanation is there just ain't no fish in it.

I'd love to learn how to catch something there.

White Plains watershed looks and fishes just like Hillabee but it is a much better lake for catching. It is full of spots and are easier to catch. Now I hear if you fish Hillabee at night you can slay the big fish but if I remember correctly you are supposed to be off the water by dark.
I grew up fishing Sweetwater, Highrock, and Coleman lake.. Lot like hillabee.. I light very light line, and soft plastics SLOWWWWWW... Like 6-8 lb test

I'm 99% sure High Rock was dry Summer before last...I think the spillway broke, or they did some sort of repair to the dam? I could be wrong, but I was told that (just can't say from personal knowledge). Sweetwater is good fishing, we've caught tons of bass pretty much every trip, most in the 12" to 2 pound range. Bream big as saucers, and some gonzo crappie! Only ever fished WP watershed once, that was about two weeks ago, and it was poor (that day anyway). I love how the rip-rap rocks come way out off the dam, but admittedly I didn't catch any off them. I take that back, I caught a 10" fish with a shakey head (largemouth). Granted, we went from about 12 noon till 5 pm, so timing might have had something to do with it. Rest of it looked like Hillabee.
