ABA D36

ABA- D36 opening tourney on the Charles River in Brighton
Saturday 7 to 3. We had to change to there because of ice
D36 guys a fun group to fish with and the scenery should be pretty good

Haven't fished the Charles in years. Always used to like it too, not sure why I stopped. Good luck to all!

How was it? Jig and worm around the marina and bridges?

Sam I got to say it was the hardest tourney I ever fished in the wind was blowing 40 mph all day. Marinas nothing bridges nothing most fish where caught down by esplanade.

Let me see jigs, black, black and blue, green, jerk bait, spinner baits various colors, crank bait, even tried chatter bait, oh ya a senco
I was clueless
I just felt great to be on the water fishing.

Big fish of the day a little over 3lbs.
The Charles was a last minute change due to ice.

Oh well. That stretch is well....you know.

And yes, they stack up down near the city for the winter / early spring.

The NEPVA holds their June tournament out of there. Apparently most take the hourlong trip and fish the Esplanade. I fished the tournament for the first time last year and, unfortunately, went upstream. Fail.

During the summer months there is no need to more than a mile from the ramp lots of fish at the marinas and down towards Watertown square if the water is deep enough and tons of pads.
Early spring like we fished is a rough time for the Charles fast current and fish holding way up towards Esplanade
