  • Fishing the Charles River for Stripers, Bluefish, and More on November 10, 2024

    Fishing the Charles River for Stripers, Bluefish, and More on November 10, 2024
    Nov 10 2024
    If you're planning to head out to the Charles River in Boston today, November 10, 2024, here's what you can expect:

    The tide is expected to be high around 10:30 AM and low at 4:30 PM, with moderate tidal currents that make for ideal fishing conditions, especially in the transition zones. The weather forecast looks promising, with partly cloudy skies and mild temperatures, making it a perfect day to be on the water. Sunrise is at 6:54 AM, and sunset will be at 4:43 PM, giving you ample time for both morning and evening fishing sessions.

    Fish activity in the Charles River remains strong, particularly for striped bass and bluefish. These species have been active, especially during the early morning and late evening hours when the water is cooler. Yesterday saw a good number of stripers caught, ranging from 12 to 25 inches, with some larger fish also reported. In addition to stripers and bluefish, smallmouth bass, largemouth bass, crappie, and yellow perch are also present, though they are less active as the water cools down.

    For striped bass, using resin jigs like Joe Baggs jigs, which sink quickly into the strike zone, have been highly effective. Soft plastics and tube-and-worm setups are also recommended, especially when fishing the edges of eel grass. Live bait such as eels and shiners have proven successful, particularly for night fishing.

    Some of the best spots to try your luck include the areas around the Muddy River effluence, where crappie and bass tend to congregate. The flats near the mouth of the Charles River, where it merges into Boston Harbor, are also productive for stripers. Another hot spot is the area between the Tobin Bridge and the Amelia Earhart Dam, where the tranquil waters have been attracting bass and other species. The bridge and pier pilings in this area are also worth exploring, as they often hold sea perch and other species.

    Remember to stay alert and follow any local health advisories, and enjoy your day on the Charles River.

  • Fishing the Charles River Boston: Ideal Tides, Weather, and Hot Spots for Striped Bass and Largemouth Bass

    Fishing the Charles River Boston: Ideal Tides, Weather, and Hot Spots for Striped Bass and Largemouth Bass
    Nov 9 2024
    If you're planning to hit the Charles River in Boston today, here’s what you need to know:

    ### Tidal and Weather Conditions
    The tide is expected to be low around 9:30 AM and high at 3:30 PM, which is ideal for targeting fish around structural elements like bridge pilings and docks. Today's weather forecast shows a partly cloudy day with a high of about 58°F (14°C) and a gentle breeze, making it a comfortable day to be out on the water.

    ### Sunrise and Sunset
    Sunrise is at 6:27 AM, and sunset is at 4:24 PM, giving you ample time for both early morning and evening fishing sessions, which are typically the best times to catch fish here.

    ### Fish Activity
    Yesterday saw decent fish activity, particularly with striped bass and largemouth bass. Striped bass were active in the lower basin, feeding on remaining alewife herring and other baitfish. Largemouth bass were found near shoreline structures and in the lagoons, especially around overhanging branches and downed trees.

    ### Types and Amounts of Fish Caught
    Anglers reported catching several striped bass, with some reaching up to 20 inches in length. Largemouth bass were also plentiful, with catches ranging from 10 to 15 inches. Chain pickerel, available year-round, were also caught in various spots along the river.

    ### Best Lures and Bait
    For striped bass, soft-plastic baits like creature baits, crayfish imitations, and ribbontail worms on weighted hooks were effective. Topwater baits worked well for largemouth bass near shoreline structures in the evenings. Bright-colored shallow-diving crankbaits and spinnerbaits were successful near downed trees, while dark-colored jigs performed better along the bridges and pilings. In deeper waters, spoons and weighted or lipless crankbaits were more effective.

    ### Hot Spots
    One of the best spots to fish is the lower basin of the Charles River, particularly around the bridge pilings which provide shade and ambush points for feeding fish. Another hot spot is the lagoons and areas with overhanging branches, where largemouth bass tend to gather.

    Overall, the Charles River is offering a good mix of fish species and favorable conditions for a productive day of fishing. Make sure to check the local fishing regulations and obtain any necessary licenses before you head out. Enjoy your day on the water

  • Fishing the Charles River in Late Fall: Explore the Best Spots and Techniques for a Successful Outing

    Fishing the Charles River in Late Fall: Explore the Best Spots and Techniques for a Successful Outing
    Nov 8 2024
    As of November 8, 2024, the Charles River in Boston is offering some exciting fishing opportunities despite the late fall season. Here’s what you need to know for a successful day on the water.

    The tide is expected to be high around 9:30 AM and low at 3:30 PM, with moderate tidal currents that are ideal for targeting fish in the transition zones. The weather forecast indicates partly cloudy skies with mild temperatures, making it a perfect day for fishing. Sunrise is at 6:54 AM, and sunset will be at 4:43 PM, giving you ample time to fish during the best light conditions.

    Yesterday saw a good amount of fish activity, particularly in the early morning and late evening hours. Anglers reported catching a mix of school-sized striped bass, with some respectable catches in the 32-36 inch range. Bluefish and even some inshore sharks were also active, taking advantage of the abundant bait such as peanut bunker and herring fry.

    For striped bass, soft-plastic baits like creature baits, crayfish imitations, and ribbontail worms on a weighted hook are effective. Topwater baits work well in the evenings for largemouth bass near shoreline structures. Bright-colored shallow-diving crankbaits and spinnerbaits are good near downed trees, while dark-colored jigs are better along the many bridges and pilings. In deeper waters, spoons along with weighted and lipless crankbaits are more effective.

    Hot spots include the wider waters of the Lower Basin, especially along the bridge pilings that provide shade and ambush points for feeding. The area around Pickering Wharf in Salem, although a bit north, has also seen blitzes of shad and mackerel, which can attract striped bass.

    If you're looking for a specific spot within the Charles River, consider the Amelia Earhart Dam through the Shraffts Building, where kayakers have been picking up striped bass using a Santini tube-and-worm setup. Another good spot is near the shoreline structures in the early morning or evening, where topwater baits can be particularly effective.

    Overall, the Charles River is still providing plenty of action for late fall fishing, so grab your gear and take advantage of these favorable conditions.
