Was out from 12:30 to 4:30. Didn't get a bite. Used a curly tail jig (multiple sizes). Started at the Mass Ave. bridge and made my way down the lagoons. There was partial ice on some of the lagoons, but enough open water for me to cast out. Plus, the river itself was completely open.
This is the first time I have fished in Boston, and even with the early part of the season, I was pretty disappointed. Anyone have any luck here so far?
Yesterday, I caught a perch on a tube and 3 bass (one over 2lb) on a finesse jig. Today, it was too windy, but I still managed to catch 1 decent bass on the same jig.
You can try with carps at this location. I always see people catching bunch of carps with corn.
Since it was nice out today, I went down to the Charles in hopes of getting some bass (or pretty much anything else).

February is my favorite month fishing the charles. Keep at it, look for community holes that usually have a discharge pipe.
Stay out of the lagoons. The only time you should look at a lagoon is from April-June, and thats it.
signs for sewage sounds like a great place lol. !!! Makes me appreciate where I live and fish a little more .By community holes, do you mean the ones that have the signs by the edge of the water? I think they are water and sewer commission signs?
That's why I was confused. I'm not sure what they are. Just noticed some signs walking along the bank today.
The Charles can be decent , but that's about it . Winning tournament weights are always pretty low , and it can't compare with the better fisheries in the state . Plus it's pretty filthy dirty .I love ripping the charles,i follow the same route every time i go out and catch 20-30 bass on average day.What a great fishing spot.
i always catch hogs, and its a 5 min ride from my house to launch which is really convenient.If you know any places not too far(20 mins or less) from waltham or watertown u think are better fishing than the charles let me know brother.Ill try em all out haha.
I'm comparing the Charles to cape waters that I fish . The Charles definatly isn't kicking out many giants 7lbs or better that's for sure. But the Waltham , Watertown , Dedham stretches have some good water but a 4 lber is a hawg their .The Charles can be decent , but that's about it .

I havent got to fish down the cape at all but i pulled out numerous 5+ pigs last year including a 6.5er and my charles best 7.3.So they are in there maybe just not as many as down the cape.As far as 4lbers those are all day in the charles.
Ok, lets hear it Dan, tell us how rich and smart you are. love when they start posting their resumes. Sad sad sad, just keeps demonstrating over and over how uneducated he is.
I'm almost starting to feel bad picking on you Dan.
