17 NOV 2024 · As of November 17, 2024, the fishing scene on the Charles River in Boston remains vibrant despite the cooler autumn weather. Here’s what you need to know for a successful outing today.
### Weather and Tides
The weather is expected to be partly cloudy with a high of around 48°F and a low of 38°F. Sunrise is at 6:34 AM, and sunset will be at 4:14 PM. Tides are moderate, with the high tide at 10:15 AM and the low tide at 4:05 PM, making the early morning and late evening ideal times for fishing.
### Fish Activity
Yesterday saw a decent amount of fish activity, particularly with holdover striped bass and carp being the main attractions. The carp are the true heavyweights in the Charles River, with anglers reporting significant catches. Largemouth bass and panfish, especially crappie, are also active, often found near underwater structures like bridge pilings and overhanging branches.
### Types of Fish Caught
Anglers reported catching largemouth bass, crappie, and the occasional striped bass. Carp are abundant, and chain pickerel are available year-round. Panfish like yellow perch and white catfish are also present in the river.
### Best Lures and Bait
For largemouth bass, dark-colored jigs with soft-plastic trailers work well, especially near bridge pilings. Bright-colored shallow-diving crankbaits and spinnerbaits are effective near downed trees. For striped bass, soft-plastic baits like creature baits and crayfish imitations are recommended. Topwater baits are best used in the evenings near shoreline structures.
### Hot Spots
One of the best spots is around the Elliot Street Bridge near the Cambridge Boathouse and Mount Auburn Hospital. This area consistently produces quality bass. Another hot spot is the BU Boathouse, directly in the shadow of the BU Bridge, where the complex network of bridge pilings and cement footings hold baitfish and larger predators. The wider waters of the Lower Basin, especially along the bridge pilings, are also prime areas to explore.
### Additional Tips
Fishing pressure is light, so you can enjoy a relatively undisturbed experience. Be mindful of rowers and other water activities, especially near popular spots. The river's health has improved significantly, making it a hidden gem for urban anglers.
With the right gear and knowledge of the river's structure, you're set for a productive day of fishing on the Charles River.

16 NOV 2024 · If you're planning to hit the Charles River in Boston today, November 16, 2024, here's what you need to know for a successful day of fishing.
First off, let's look at the tidal and weather conditions. The high tide is expected around 10:30 AM, and the low tide will be at 4:30 PM. The weather forecast is partly cloudy with mild temperatures, around 58°F, and a gentle breeze out of the northwest. Sunrise is at 6:54 AM, and sunset will be at 5:43 PM, giving you ample time for both morning and evening fishing sessions.
Fish activity in the Charles River remains strong, especially for striped bass and bluefish. These species are still active, particularly 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. Largemouth bass were also plentiful, with catches ranging from 10 to 15 inches, often found near shoreline structures and in the lagoons.
For striped bass, soft-plastic baits such as 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. For deeper waters, spoons and weighted or lipless crankbaits were more effective.
If you're looking for hot spots, the lower basin of the Charles River is a great place to start, 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.

15 NOV 2024 · As of November 15, 2024, the fishing scene on the Charles River in Boston remains vibrant despite the cooler autumn weather. Here’s what you need to know for a successful day on the water.
The tidal conditions are moderate, with high tide expected around 10:30 AM and low tide at 4:30 PM. The weather forecast indicates partly cloudy skies with a high of about 58°F and a gentle breeze out of the northwest. Sunrise is at 6:54 AM, and sunset will be at 5:43 PM, providing ample time for both morning and evening fishing sessions.
Fish activity in the Charles River has been robust, particularly for striped bass and bluefish. Yesterday, anglers reported catching a mix of small, medium, and large striped bass, ranging from 12 to 25 inches, along with some bluefish. The presence of abundant bait such as peanut bunker and herring fry has been driving these fish to feed aggressively.
For targeting striped bass and bluefish, early morning and late evening hours are the best times, as the water is cooler during these periods. Soft-plastic baits like creature baits, crayfish imitations, and ribbontail worms on a weighted hook are effective. Topwater baits work well in the evenings near shoreline structures, while bright-colored shallow-diving crankbaits and spinnerbaits are good near downed trees. Dark-colored jigs are better used along the many bridges and pilings.
Chain pickerel are also active year-round and can be caught using similar tactics, especially in areas with underwater holes and ledges where depths change abruptly.
Hot spots include the wider waters of the Lower Basin, especially along the bridge pilings that provide shade and ambush points for feeding. The areas near downed trees and the many bridges and pilings are also worth exploring.
If you're looking for a specific spot, consider fishing near the shoreline structures in the early morning or late evening. The Charles River's unique ecosystem, with its abrupt depth changes and abundant bait, makes it an exciting place to fish even in the late fall season.

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.

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.

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.
