Charles River Bridges
I fished the Dedham stretch of the Charles today on foot, fished a couple of hours between 2 and 4 pm hitting 2 bridges. I caught 4 bass largest was 1.90lbs. The 1.90 fish hit a Wacky Rigged Senko drifting towards the bride in the current. The bass headed for a fallen tree in the 1st tunnel and was tangled for a couple of seconds, thought he was going to break me off. I opened the bail on my baitcast reel and the bass headed for the current and open water. I tightened the drag and did not play around any more. I thought the fish was a lot larger the way he fought. The river largemouth fight like a smallmouth.
The misquitoes were vicious and I did not bring any spray. Luckely I had cigars with me and I had one lit the entire 2 hours.
No big fish but I had a fun trip...
Thanks for posting! Mosquitos are the worst, i've made the mistake of heading out without any bug spray and it was rough. Have you ever tried carp fishing in that area or anywhere else on the charles?
