MyFishFinder.com Just like iceshanty but warmer
Thinking about heading there tomorrow...never been there. Any danger spots to keep away from?
I'll be there tomorrow too. If you see a gray pop-up shanty, that'd be me.
How’d you make out?
If anyone smells skunk, its left over from my day yesterday. Marked tons of fish jigging, couldn't get anything to bite. Only a couple flags, took tons of line but dropped the bait... I didnt catch anything, but any day outside is good enough for me.
Hey all, I am headed out there really soon...Any gear advice for Barton Cove?Line should be green? grey? recommendations for jigging colors and types of jigs (S pimps or other)?This is only my second season ice fishing...Thanks,Karl
What are you trying to catch?
I would prefer trout...
No trout in Barton’s Cove - it’s part of the CT river - so you can only catch what swims in the river
I may wear my "Newbie" sign with big arrow pointing at me for the Barton 12 annual... LOL
Lol - no worries - we all start somewhere - Good luck to you!
After a little research, for the tungsten, demon or swedish pimps, since gear adds up real quick $$$, what colors are best at barton? Orange, clown or white? Is imitating the bluegills productive? And do the plastics help? Or just get some spikes? And what size spoons? 3/16? The tungsten get really small... Like 1/50oz... Any words of wisdom are helpful. (And I stole the subject of this original post, sorry)... Obviously just for jigging...
Would you also like someone to put some fish on your line for you too? It's called fishing , not catching for a reason.
Hali's are the Gary Yamamoto senkos of ice fishing. IMO they are way over priced, especially with the garbage chain and hook they come with, but they sure do work.
I like the small tungstens, like a 1/32, pair with a wax worm or meal worm. I prefer live bait over plastics but plenty of people use plastics successfully. As for color I like chartreuse or gold but its good to have a variety.
