Ct River Fishing
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!
