  • Summary

  • 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.
