5/21/08 - Charles River - Watertown Boat Ramp

Trying a new spot once again. Rumor is in the spring time the Stripers will chase the bait fish up the river to the damn in Watertown center. So I waited out the rain a it turned out to be a ok evening. The whole time I was fishing there was constant splashes, rings and surface action. Maybe Striper chasing the Herring, I dont know. But I couldnt get much going. One bump, one bite, then finally I landed a fish. To my suprise it was a Smallmouth Bass...didnt know there was any in the Charles. The lesson I learned tonight...carry some 4 or 5 inch salt water swim baits with your freshwater gear just incase.
