DW, I also grew up fishing the same lakes. Sweetwater has always been a special place for me and my boys. We had a lot of trips
where we thought we would catch every fish in the lake. Spring time we would use wacky rig trick worms and in summer a 100 series bandit and just kill em. Since the crappie were put in the bass fishing has gone way down hill. High Rock was awesome too but when they fixed the low water crossing they blocked it off so now about the only people that fish it have kayaks..
