Charles River Fishing Report

Charles River Slam!

Went to the river at the crack of dawn Saturday morning and stayed until about 9:30am. The conditions were perfect and the topwater bite was hot! I mostly threw a pop-R for the first 1 and 1/2 hours and switched over to green pumpkin and watermelon candy plastic worms.

The herring were still very active, splashing on the surface in swarms. I caught a couple with a gold Kastmaster and landed a small white perch, too. I also saw a 5-6 pound carp casually cruise by and wish I had some corn or bread on me!

All in all, I caught 6 largemouth (the biggest about 2.5 pounds), 1 smallmouth, a couple herring and a white perch. Last week I caught a surprise schoolie striper at the same location.

A very productive spot for many species and a great morning!
