Bring a under water camera. You can pull it away from the dinks while waiting for bigger small perch to move in. Find weed beds. Green weed can be found in 60 fow.
Is the ice on higgins still good for snowmobiles? It's getting pretty bad down state and I will be heading up this weekend
bigger small perch? Not sure if I want to wait for them.
All depends on what your idea of a keeper perch is. There are hundreds of people out there for some reason.
You might look thru the other northern state posts for lures and ideas as well. Some pretty neat stuff comes out of Ny, also Canada. Personally I've never ice fished Higgins. Rp
green weed is better than brown weed from what ive heard!!
I will be on my snowmobile so I am mobile. Also staying at place right on the lake so I should be good. Any other places worth checking out?
I was out there Saturday all day and the ice was about 1ft thick off flag point, shore was beginning to recede about 1.5 ft. fished in 35-65ft of water, but had the most action in the 40 foot range and by action I mean I seen the most fish on my bird radar. no bites, super slow threw every bait and lure I had at them. That made me go to St Helen on Sunday and we caught some eyes, rockbass and panfish around the hole of the 3rd lake in 10-15 ft.
