Higgins Lake Info

[mbrooks]

Drove around the entire Lake today. It is completely froze from end to end. I didn't see anyone on the North or West side at all. I had my boy with me so I didn't check the ice thickness. We are suppose to get dumped on tonight though. I hope they're wrong. We don't need a foot of snow on the ice before it gets thick enough. I'll try to get out Thursday and check thickness. There were a few shanties on the South end though.

Good to hear, just put out the permanant on the local lake down here. Yeah, let's hope the snow doesn't screw too much up.

  I was up there around 2 or 3 oclock to day and if anyone was out there with a snowmobile they were not leaving any tracks. There was about 4 inches by the west side landing. I watched a guy auger a hole 20 or 30 feet off shore and it took him 2 or 3 turns to go thru. The bait shop reported 4 to 5 inches of ice this afternoon. Bill was out checking it when I stopped in. There was one shanty out from Big Creek quite aways out so the time is near.

My uncle had his snowmobile out on 8" E. Side of lake. Not much snow on lake, He said.

Hi all, I'm heading up to Higgy in the morning for a 4 day weekend filled w/ fun ,family, and ice fishing. Last I heard there was 9-10" on S, SE side of lake and 5-6" of ice on N, NE side of lake. I have no idea whats on the NW or W by the smeltgrounds but I would imagine close to 6" by this weekend. I will be home Mon. late afternoon and post some  information for ya all. If you don't hear from me ,it means the fishing was spectacular and I'm not telling.

Good luck to ya, Sightfisher. Cancelling plans to go to HIggins next weekend. $$ situation is tight. So my friend and I decided we are going to do a day trip out to either St. Clair, Saginaw river, or the bay. Rich or broke, I'm still going to be fishing somewhere!
