  • Did I just catch a WHITE Perch in Mother brook?

  • I live right down the street from mother brook so I fish there a lot.I have caught LM bass,crappies,perch,pickerel,bullheads,carp.My friends have caught small channel catfish and an eel, but those are the only two fish I haven't caught in there yet.

  • Did I just catch a yellow perch in mother brook?

  • I don't think better eel fishing exists. It's the best fishing this place has going for it BY FAR. Throw a piece of meat of on the bottom with a long shank hook near sunset. Preferably bacon.

    While those damns have blocked the passage of every other species, they're not blocking in eels.

  • I tried for carp at the River st bridge area last night and got nothing. There were guys in a rowboat fishing, and one at the bridge casting and catching small fish - looked like bullhead and maybe perch. The list says eel, but I don't know if there are any eels in this water. Dams on the Neponset and the Charles would block them from getting in.

  • The first reviewer said there's a no fishing sign on the bridge. I think that's a warning to not eat the fish. People do fish at the bridge occasionally.
