# Charles River, Boston Fishing Report - Friday, November 28th, 2025
Good morning, folks! Artificial Lure here with your Charles River and Boston Harbor fishing report for this Thanksgiving Friday, November 28th, 2025.
We're looking at sunrise this morning at 6:21 AM with sunset coming in fast at 4:33 PM—so you've got roughly ten hours of decent fishing light, so get out there early if you can.
**Tidal Report:** We're in a strong tidal window today. High tide hit at 3:51 AM at 8.53 feet, and we've got our next low tide coming at 9:51 AM at 1.97 feet. That afternoon high tide rolls in around 10:50 PM. These aren't your sleepy tides—we've got solid coefficient action happening, which means fish are feeding actively around these transitions.
**Water Conditions & Activity:** The Charles River is pumping right now. Yesterday's Thanksgiving morning report showed strong stripers feeding on the move through our channel. With these autumn conditions settled in and water temps in the upper 40s to low 50s, we're seeing solid striper activity, especially around structure and current breaks. Bluefish have been showing up too, mixed in with keeper-sized stripers pushing two to four pounds, with some chunky five-pounders mixed in for patient anglers.
**What's Working:** For artificials, try white and chartreuse swimbaits mimicking baitfish patterns—the herring and sand eel profiles are money right now. If you're working the pilings near the dam, small silver spoons around 1/16 to 3/8 ounce are producing solid action. Live shiners and live mackerel under slip bobbers are absolutely crushing it for stripers working the deeper channels.
**Hot Spots:** Focus on the bridge pilings near Rouses Point and the current breaks around the Charles River Dam tailrace. The deeper marinas and dock structures are holding fish between tidal pushes. Don't sleep on Thompson's Point area either—it's been consistent all week.
Get out there and make it count before sunset!
