Charles River Fishing Report - Late November Mixed Bag Madness
Published 5 months ago
Description
Good morning, folks—Artificial Lure here with your Saturday, November 29th Charles River fishing report from Boston. Let's dive right in.
**Water Conditions & Tides**
We've got some solid tidal action working for us today. High tide hit around 10:50 PM last night at 10.76 feet, and we're looking at a low tide coming in around 4:53 AM at minus 0.59 feet, with another high tide at 11:02 AM hitting 12.11 feet. That midday high is gonna be prime time for movement—predators are always active at these tidal transitions.
**Light & Weather**
Sunrise cracked at 7:07 AM this morning, and we're looking at an early sunset around 4:39 PM, so you've got a solid window to work with. Late November vibe out there—classic drizzly New England conditions, temps hovering in the low 50s. Perfect for getting fish active.
**Fish Activity**
The Charles River's been producing solid mixed bags lately. Reports from the area show coho and chum are still moving through, along with resident blackmouth—those immature chinook that'll absolutely hammer the right presentation. Sea-run cutthroat are active in the shallows, and if you're feeling adventurous, perch are swarming the deeper holes at slack tide.
**What to Throw**
Here's what's working: cured salmon roe under a float is money right now—absolutely deadly. Cut-plug herring behind a flasher or on a mooching rig is producing steady hookups. For artificials, pink corkies and marabou jigs are crushing it on the chum. Small spoons in chartreuse or silver are solid all-around choices. If you're targeting perch or cutthroat, bobber and bait with small jigs and worms will get you connected.
**Hot Spots**
Hit the areas around the Boston Charles River basin where baitfish are thick. The Edmonds-style oil docks analogue in the river—anywhere structure meets deeper current—is holding fish. Slack tide at any of the wider pools will concentrate your targets.
Folks, thanks for tuning in to your Charles River fishing report. Make sure to subscribe for daily updates, check your local regulations before you head out, and get out there and bend that rod.
