    Default Lake Higgins 1-2-16


    Fished Lake Higgins today. Caught 53 crappie, a 1 1/2 lb largemouth, and a 4 lb 2 oz catfish. Long line trolling jigs. Mostly small fish but a steady bite. Water temp 56 degrees. Strange for January as it has risen from 53 degrees two weeks ago. Catfish bit a middle rod and it was touch and go for a while until I could work him to the outside. Got lucky-no tangles. Just slimmed up me and the boat. Kept six for a meal. Good day on the water.

    Released the catfish. It has been so long since I ate a catfish that I may not remember how to skin one out.

    Fish were 20' deep. I use split shot above the jigs to get down to the desired depth.

    Happy New Year Rick. Looks like you are still finding some quality fish in those city lakes. Good job.
