Barton's Cove, CT. River - Turners Falls, MA Fishing Report

6/27/10 - Avid Angler's Tourney @ Barton's Cove, CT. River - Turners Falls, MA

Club Tournament with the Avid Anglers today. Also the 1st time Ive ever fished here. A combo of overcast/blazing sun, no wind, brutal humidity, no river current due to the town not drawing from the dam during the weekends, and recreational boat/jet ski traffic made for a tough day for all. Water clarity in the cove was probably 4-8ft, and in the river was 2-4ft. The bite was brutally soft, at best i'd get 2 taps, and then nothing. I caught a few fish but no keepers, 2 yellow perch, 2 smallies( 6in, and 11-3/4in of course). The boater I fished with did pretty good, 2 smallies, and 1 larry all on a jig for about 4-1/2lbs. Winning weight was only 3 largemouth for 8.97lbs including the lunker 5.12lbs. I was one of 5 or 6 to get shutout today, so I wasnt the only one, but that doesnt make me any happier. Tough way to end the 2010 Avid season. Looking forward to next season already 9/12/10 @ Webster, and 10/2/10 @ Barton's Cove again will be the 1st two for 2011
