CATFISH FISHING
Lake Maumelle. Too many fish in the lake. Game and Fish has approved the use of trot lines and people are catching 75-100 pounds on each trip.

Note: Pay attention to your running boards on your trailer. They will re-freeze when you get off the water. So, when unloading your boat keep it hooked up until you are in the water.
