CT River Oxbow Tournament
Started 6am, This was a trolling motor only tournament so I decided to stay in the Oxbow. I went to the first set of dock on the left as you head towards the marina, and work that bank hard I caught my first bass about 6:30 on a hand poured tube by CobraBaits it was short but I felt good the fish were there. A few trees later I got my first keeper, mostly shorts after that. I felt there were still fish on that side so I worked my way back this time staying a little further out casting into about 6 feet of water and I picked up my next keeper. I worked the docks hard and picked up a nice 3 3/4 pound bass for my third keeper fish. The air temp was 57 deg the water temp was 61 degrees it was cloudy and rained heavy until about 10am, the water was muddy and a little high. I finish with 5 shorts and 3 keepers for the day and did not place in the tournament over all it is not a place I would choose to fish for fun.
