Thanks for the report. 

Growing up I had lots of family in Dedham and Walpole and fished lots of different waters there. I may have fished Highland at some point.

I haven't even wet a line yet this year. When I do i will post some reports back here.

I live in Dedham and Mother Brook runs through my backyard. I am not pulling any monsters out of it, I stick to micro rod/reel and tackle, but it's fun and gets the fishing urge out of my system.

Last Sunday I threw my beetle spinner (white) to the other bank and boom a little largemouth grabbed it probably about 6" long (largemouth bass are kind of rare to catch back there). Got greedy and threw it again, only to get it hung up in a branch. Since then I pulled out a calico bass on Monday using a small crankbait (brown with gold bottom), and got that stuck on the other bank as well. (got to get the boots on and get those back, the beetle spin is my lucky lure) Last night had another crankbait (same colors) and pulled out two perch first and second cast.

Crankbaits are the way to go for that area 99% of the time due to the water getting lower in the summer, but this year it was pretty high most of the summer after our wet winter/spring.

Glad to see you stop by missbass and thanks for the report. Don't be such a stranger.

Thanks for the report and don't forget to put your boots on and get them lures back.

Got the beetle spin back over the weekend  . Was able to do it with flip flops since the brook is extremely low right now with the dam up river being fixed. Never found my crankbait, but got my other one stuck the next day  but went and got that back same day.

With the dam being repaired and the water so shallow, about all I've caught lately is just some sunfish. Some of them were so small, I don't know how they even were able to grab on to the lure.

Always nice to get a favorite lure back. I think most of us have caught those tiny fish. On back-to-back casts with the same bait (Heddon Tiny Torpedo) once I caught a 3 pound bass and then one so small it was barely bigger than the lure.

A-1, fished that once in a canoe in early 80's, there is so much cover it was ridiculous, I really needed to spend a bunch more time there.
