  • Fishing the Vibrant Charles River: Tides, Weather, and Catching Stripers, Bluefish, and Bass

    Fishing the Vibrant Charles River: Tides, Weather, and Catching Stripers, Bluefish, and Bass
    Nov 7 2024
    As of November 7, 2024, the fishing scene in the Charles River, Boston, is quite vibrant despite the transitioning seasons. Here’s what you need to know for a successful day on the water.

    ### Tidal and Weather Report
    Sunrise today is at 6:54 AM, and sunset will be at 5:43 PM, giving you ample time for both morning and evening fishing sessions. The tides are relatively moderate, with high tide expected around 10:30 AM and low tide at 4:30 PM. The weather is forecasted to be partly cloudy with mild temperatures, making it an ideal day for fishing.

    ### Fish Activity
    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.

    ### Types of Fish Caught
    Striped bass and bluefish are the main targets in the Charles River right now. Smallmouth bass and largemouth bass are also present, though they are less active as the water cools down. Crappie and yellow perch can be found in the quieter areas, especially around downed trees and branches in the effluence with the Muddy River.

    ### Best Lures and Bait
    For striped bass, eels, Fish Snax Xls, and GT Eels are highly effective, especially during low light conditions. Needlefish plugs, such as the Super Strike and 247 Lures versions, are also favorites among local anglers. For bluefish, gaudy lures like the green/gold Rapala CD18 tend to work well. If you're targeting smallmouth and largemouth bass, old school lures like Al’s Goldfish and Rooster Tails have been successful.

    ### Hot Spots
    Some of the best spots to fish in the Charles River 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. Additionally, the areas around downed trees and branches in the river provide good cover for both bass species.

    Overall, the Charles River offers exciting fishing opportunities even as the seasons change. With the right lures and bait, and by targeting the right spots, you can have a rewarding day on the water.

  • Fishing the Charles River in Boston's Autumn Bounty

    Fishing the Charles River in Boston's Autumn Bounty
    Nov 3 2024
    As of November 3, 2024, the fishing scene on the Charles River in Boston is still offering some exciting opportunities despite the cooler autumn weather. Here’s what you need to know for a successful day on the water.

    ### Tidal and Weather Conditions
    Today, the high tide is expected around 10:30 AM, and the low tide will be 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 was at 6:30 AM, and sunset will be at 5:46 PM, providing ample time for both morning and evening fishing sessions.

    ### Fish Activity
    Fish activity has been robust, particularly for striped bass and bluefish. Yesterday, anglers reported catching a mix of small, medium, and large striped bass, along with some bluefish. The presence of abundant bait such as peanut bunker and herring fry has been driving these fish to feed aggressively.

    ### Best Lures and Bait
    For striped bass, soft-plastic baits like creature baits, crayfish imitations, and ribbontail worms on a weighted hook are highly effective. Topwater baits work well in the evenings near shoreline structures, while bright-colored shallow-diving crankbaits and spinnerbaits are good near downed trees. For deeper waters, spoons and weighted or lipless crankbaits are more effective. If you prefer bait, eels and seaworms are still producing results, especially in areas like the bridge pilings and the Lower Basin.

    ### Hot Spots
    The bridge pilings and the deeper waters of the Lower Basin are hot spots right now. Anglers have reported successful trips near these areas, catching over 20 bass and blues. Additionally, the wider waters along the bridge pilings that provide shade and ambush points for feeding fish are often productive.

    ### Additional Tips
    Early morning and late evening hours are the best times to fish, as these periods see the most fish activity. Be sure to navigate the river using a boat or kayak to effectively anchor or troll, and keep an eye out for underwater holes and ledges where depths can change abruptly.

    With the right gear and knowledge of the tides and fish activity, you're set for a promising day on the Charles River. Enjoy your fishing trip

  • Charles River Fishing in Autumn: Stripers, Pickerel, and More on the Boston Waterfront

    Charles River Fishing in Autumn: Stripers, Pickerel, and More on the Boston Waterfront
    Nov 2 2024
    As of November 2, 2024, the Charles River in Boston is offering some exciting fishing opportunities despite the cooler autumn weather. Here’s what you need to know for a successful day on the water.

    ### Tidal and Weather Conditions
    Today, the high tide is expected around 10:30 AM, and the low tide will be 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 was at 6:54 AM, and sunset will be at 5:43 PM, providing ample time for both morning and evening fishing sessions.

    ### Fish Activity
    Fish activity in the Charles River has been robust, particularly for those targeting striped bass and chain pickerel. Yesterday, anglers reported catching a mix of small, medium, and large striped bass, along with some bluefish. The presence of abundant bait such as peanut bunker and herring fry has been driving these fish to feed aggressively.

    ### Best Lures and Bait
    For striped bass, soft-plastic baits like creature baits, crayfish imitations, and ribbontail worms on a weighted hook are highly effective. Topwater baits are best used in the evenings for largemouth bass near shoreline structures. Bright-colored shallow-diving crankbaits and spinnerbaits work well near downed trees, while dark-colored jigs are better used along the many bridges and pilings. For those after largemouth and smallmouth bass, plastic worms or crankbaits in natural colors like green and brown are recommended.

    ### Hot Spots
    The wider waters of the Lower Basin, especially along the bridge pilings that provide shade and ambush points for feeding, are often prime spots. The area where the Charles River meets the Muddy River, with its downed trees and branches, is also a good place to find crappie and other species. Another hot spot is near the shoreline structures, particularly in the early morning and late evening when fish are most active.

    Overall, the Charles River is providing a great fishing experience this time of year, with a variety of species available and favorable tidal and weather conditions. Make sure to check the local fishing regulations and enjoy your time on the water.
