  • Resumen

  • As of October 9, 2024, the fishing scene on the Charles River in Boston is looking promising, despite the transitional autumn weather. Here’s what you need to know for a successful day on the water.

    ### Weather and Tidal Conditions
    This morning, the sky is partly cloudy with a gentle breeze, making it an ideal day for fishing. The temperature is around 58°F (14°C), with a high expected to reach 65°F (18°C) later in the day. Tides are moderate, with a low tide at around 7:30 AM and a high tide at 1:30 PM, which should help stir up the fish.

    ### Sunrise and Sunset
    Sunrise was at 6:43 AM, and sunset will be at 5:53 PM, giving you ample daylight to fish.

    ### Fish Activity
    Yesterday saw a decent amount of fish activity, particularly in the early morning and late evening. Anglers reported catching largemouth bass, yellow perch, and chain pickerel. The striped bass, which are common during the spring and early summer, were still present but less active.

    ### Types and Amounts of Fish Caught
    Several anglers caught largemouth bass in the 2-4 pound range, with a few larger ones up to 6 pounds. Yellow perch were abundant, especially near the bridge pilings and downed trees. Chain pickerel were active throughout the day, with some anglers catching up to a dozen in a single outing.

    ### Best Lures and Bait
    For largemouth bass, topwater baits worked well in the evenings near shoreline structures. Bright-colored shallow-diving crankbaits and spinnerbaits were effective near downed trees, while dark-colored jigs performed well along the bridges and pilings. For striped bass, soft-plastic baits like creature baits and crayfish imitations on weighted hooks were successful. Chain pickerel responded well to spoons and weighted crankbaits in deeper waters.

    ### Hot Spots
    One of the best spots to fish is the Lower Basin, especially along the bridge pilings that provide shade and ambush points for feeding fish. Another hot spot is near Magazine Beach in Cambridge, where the water is deeper and there are several underwater holes and ledges that fish tend to congregate around.

    ### Additional Tips
    Be mindful of the water quality, especially after recent rainfall, as pollutants and sewage overflows can affect fish activity. Also, remember the health advisories regarding fish consumption from the Charles River; it's best to limit or avoid eating fish caught here due to PCB and pesticide contamination.

    With the right gear and knowledge, today should be a great day to catch some fish on the Charles River. Good luck
