I fished a University of Alabama Fishing Team tourney out of Higgins Ferry Monday from safe light until 3. I had two bites and caught one fish that weighed 2 lbs even. Congratulations to Warren Hoffman who was our winner with a respectable 5 fish limit. There were about 23 boats in our tourney and only 9 of us weighed in at least one fish. The fishing was very tough, but with water temps between 42 and 46, what do you expect? I managed to catch that one fish on a shaky head. I talked to some guys that day that was catching a few on a 3/16 black/blue jig, but I didn't have any luck on it. That was my first time to ever fish Lake Mitchell and from the looks of it, I know it has more to offer than that. I will definitely be back over there this Spring.
