Ct River Bartons Cove
25 degrees at 7am maybe 45 degrees by 2,No wind made it a beautiful day.
Barton s cove ramp is closed,But a friend of mine has a private ramp nearby and received permission to launch.
2 other boats arrived around the same time. we all congregated in the same area. You could hit the next guy if we wanted. but it was awesome we all talked and watched as someone caught a smallie. I took the early lead with 3-0 but by days end i had 7-12 my buddy has the feel for em. The fish seemed hunkered down in 40' water and the bite was a ever so slight tick or mush. lets just say hook sets are free.Being on your toes and expecting a bite every cast was the way to go!
My friend has a titanium tipped drop-shot rod that is sick!
I can't find one of them but I'll be i will be gearing up with the most sensitive rod i feel i can afford,lol
Greta day, i learned more about the river and i must say i might have gone skunked if it wasn't for a good friend willing to share some knowledge. Can't wait to go again!
That's what it's all about, nice job. I turned down an invite to NH and my buddy ended up having a 50 fish day with close to 20lbs of brown fish, I was kickin myself!!! Maybe this weekend...
Keep up the great work JWALL
Thanks guys
This was an awesome trip for me.
I learned alot. I most likely would been skunked too if i didn't go with a really good person willing to show me something about the ct river.
I'm hoping to try it one more time next Sunday in my boat.
Sounds like an awesome day Jay.I've been skunked the last 2 weekends.Great trip and I wish I was there.
Sorry if trip messed up. I posted and saw 2 sets pics not details?
