19 JAN 2025 · If you're planning to hit the Charles River in Boston today, January 19, 2025, here's what you need to know. First, let's look at the tides: you've got a high tide at 2:43 AM with a height of 9.18 feet, a low tide at 8:48 AM with a height of 1.09 feet, another high tide at 2:58 PM with the same height of 9.18 feet, and a final low tide at 9:11 PM with a height of 0.83 feet. These tidal shifts can significantly impact fish activity, so plan your trip accordingly.
Weather-wise, it's going to be quite chilly, with mostly sunny skies and highs around 31°F. Expect winds from the west at 10-15 mph, making it feel even colder. Sunrise is at 7:08 AM and sunset at 4:42 PM, so make sure to bundle up.
Fish activity has been decent despite the cold. Yesterday, anglers reported catching a mix of largemouth bass and striped bass. Largemouth bass were particularly active around the bridge pilings and submerged structures in the Charles River Basin, especially starting at the Watertown Dam. For largemouth bass, using jigs with dark colors like black and blue, and adding a soft-plastic trailer, tends to work well. Mimicking crayfish, which are abundant in the Charles River, is another productive way to catch these bass.
Striped bass, though less active this time of year, can still be caught, especially during the tidal shifts. Look for areas like the west side of the Longfellow Bridge and around the Elliot Street Bridge near the Cambridge Boathouse and Mount Auburn Hospital.
Hot spots include the Storrow Drive Lagoons, particularly the Esplanade, where you can catch quality largemouth bass and occasionally giant carp. The area around the Elliot Street Bridge is also known for consistently producing nice bass.
Remember, the Charles River has come a long way from its polluted past and now offers a diverse and exciting fishing experience right in the heart of Boston. Just be patient and respectful of other river users, like rowers and kayakers, and you'll have a great day on the water.

18 JAN 2025 · If you're planning to hit the Charles River in Boston today, January 18, 2025, here's what you need to know. First, let's look at the tides: you've got a high tide at 2:08 AM with a height of 9.28 feet, a low tide at 8:06 AM with 0.85 feet, another high tide at 2:19 PM with 9.69 feet, and a final low tide at 8:33 PM with 0.39 feet[2].
The weather is quite chilly, with mostly sunny skies but highs only around 31°F and winds from the west at 10-15 mph, making it feel even colder. Sunrise is at 7:09 AM, and sunset will be at 4:40 PM, giving you a good window for both morning and evening fishing sessions.
Fish activity in the Charles River has been robust, especially for striped bass and largemouth bass. Yesterday, anglers reported catching a mix of small, medium, and larger striped bass, with holdover stripers still active in the river. Largemouth bass are also plentiful, particularly around the bridge pilings and in the Storrow Drive Lagoons.
For striped bass, soft plastic baits and jigs have been working well, especially in dark colors like black and blue. Adding a soft-plastic trailer will increase your chances of getting bites. For largemouth bass, mimicking the abundant crayfish in the river with your lures is highly effective.
Two hot spots to consider are the Charles River Basin and the Storrow Drive Lagoons. The Basin, starting at the Watertown Dam, is dotted with pilings and docks, and its submerged timber and rocks create numerous opportunities for anglers. The Storrow Drive Lagoons, near the Esplanade, offer a picturesque backdrop and shallow waters where you can catch quality largemouth bass and even giant carp.
So, bundle up, grab your gear, and head out to the Charles River. With a little patience and the right lures, you'll be reeling in some quality fish in no time.

16 JAN 2025 · If you're planning to hit the Charles River in Boston today, January 16, 2025, here's what you need to know for a successful day of fishing.
First off, let's look at the tidal conditions. Today, the high tide is expected at 12:43 PM, with a height of 3.21 meters (10.54 feet), and the low tide will be at 6:28 AM and 7:04 PM, with heights of 0.16 meters (0.51 feet) and -0.11 meters (-0.35 feet) respectively[2].
The weather forecast is looking decent, with partly cloudy skies and mild temperatures, though it's winter, so expect it to be chilly. Sunrise is at 7:10 AM, and sunset will be at 4:38 PM, giving you ample time for both morning and evening fishing sessions.
Fish activity in the Charles River remains steady, especially for species like largemouth bass, carp, and the occasional striped bass. Yesterday saw a good number of largemouth bass caught, ranging from 10 to 15 inches, often found near shoreline structures and in the lagoons. Striped bass, though less common in winter, can still be caught, particularly during the early morning and late evening hours when the water is cooler[4].
For largemouth bass, soft-plastic baits such as crayfish imitations and dark-colored jigs work well, especially around the bridge pilings and submerged structures. Topwater baits can be effective near shoreline structures in the evenings. For striped bass, if you're lucky enough to find them, use soft-plastic baits like creature baits or ribbontail worms on weighted hooks[4].
Hot spots include the lower basin of the Charles River, particularly around the bridge pilings which provide shade and ambush points for feeding fish. The Storrow Drive Lagoons and the Esplanade area are also great, offering shallow waters and picturesque surroundings. Here, you can catch quality largemouth bass and occasionally giant carp and crappie[1][4].
Make sure to check the local fishing regulations and obtain any necessary licenses before you head out. With a little patience and the right gear, you can enjoy a productive day of fishing on the Charles River.

Some hot spots to consider are the areas around the Charles River Dam and the stretches near Needham, where the river's tranquil waters and picturesque surroundings make for a great fishing experience.
