Ill be doing some open water/ice out pike fishing on the concord this weekend. My question is does anybody know if there are many open spots to fish from billerica down to concord (boat launches, docks, bridges, etc.) Im new to the river but would love to try and snag an early season pike. Thanks guys.
I'm not planning on ice fishing the concord. I want to fish rod and reel on open water with some dead mackerel to see if I can snag some early ice out pike. I'm glad your confident in the pike in there though. I'd love to tangle with a nice toothy terror. Thanks man
I fish it twice a week or so throughout the summer and fall, so I've been keeping an eye on it as I drive around town. (Billerica that is.)
This morning as I passed over it on route 3 between exit 27 and 28 and on 3A near treble cove, it looked like it was melted enough near the bridges that you could probably find a spot. I'm going to drive by the River St bridge tomorrow morning to check that spot out. I'll let you know what I see.

That's what I did mean Sean, thanks man. I wasn't being clear enough, What I meant was I know you aren't thinking about ice fishing the river,( I woouldnt recommend that) wait two more weeks, you'll be fine. From shore or boat, should be set. Make sure If you launch out of Bedford on Carlisle road 225, head up stream towards 'rica ked.
( Billerica)that's the home stretch for your toothy ugly creatures !! Hqve fun

There was no ice whatsoever at the River St bridge, but the water levels were really high. There are some rocks on the sides of the bridge you could fish from.
The other two bridges I checked had 4 feet of ice or so coming off of the shoreline in spots, but the middle was wide open, and there were patches along the shoreline that were ice free.

well I've been out on the concord fishing mackerel with a bobber about 3 ft of the bottom. After about 3 hrs of fishing not even a bit yet. River is real high right now almost to the houses and roads on the sides of the river. Ill keep you guys updated if I get anything
