The rest of the esplanade is a series of pools, 4 actually. If start from the stage, I only fish in 2 of them, the first and the fourth. The first pool has some good fish on the deep bank. But I mo ...

Any tips on parking in the area? I know there's metered parking on Charles st. Is that my best bet?

Any spots on the cambridge side of the river?

Parking is a little tight around here, but ther ...

Anyone care to share some Esplanade shore fishing tips?

I've been fishing the Esplanade (with and without kids) a decent amount over the last year and have had incredible days of good-sized largemo ...

Top Producers:

Reaction Innovations Flirt Worm (Spanish Fly Color -- green/purple)
Jackall Cross-Tail Shad (Watermelon Pepper)

--> both work well for me on a drop shot for catching Charles R ...

Well, we hit Little Cliff yesterday and had fun despite the lack of decent fish. My kid caught a handful of pumpkinseeds and bluegills, my father-in-law caught a small yellow perch, and I managed to g ...

Thanks guys -- looks like we'll be headed for Little Cliff Pond. The family is psyched.

The DFW says that the other ponds in Nickerson are pretty much trout-only, with a few smallies and fairly ba ...

Hi all-

We're taking the annual family Cape week next week and my kids & grandmother in law want to do a little fishing down there.

Any decent spots near Orleans with public shore access, w ...

^ no kidding! That's what's confusing... All our confederate brothers drawlin' on about crawdads & chartreuse... Although I saw some guy who was slaying them on TV at Champlain on chartreuse lure ...

Awesome post ^. Thanks!

Glad to see that I'm not completely insane as I generally throw bluegill or perch or silver/generic minnow/baitfish/shiner colors.

Hi All-

I'm just wondering if anyone has some good Fall bass tips to share...

The big bass sites online really emphasize the movement of shad into shallows and up creeks, with bass following, bu ...

Pulled trigger on the 6'6" MH (1/4-1oz) and am psyched to have another rig & also be able to throw some bigger baits & jigs. One thing's for certain, though, this won't be my last rod!!! ...

"supposedly red is the color that disappears the fastest underwater"

Yep Red drops off the spectrum first, it then appears black, not invisible. Marketing hype is all it is.

Yeah; eve ...

So here's a (dumb?) question on braid: If I wanted to use powerpro on a spinning reel, say 20-30# for argument's sake, would I spec out a reel rated for 6-8# mono? Or stick with a heavier reel and j ...

Yeah, I haven't ever used a baitcaster & have so little fishing time that the last thing I want to deal with is learning a new reel along with everything else.

But, I'm 99% settled on the MH 7 ...

I'm pretty much a Rapala fan boy, but the one issue I have with the floaters is that they are soooo light for their size that they can be a little hard to cast, especially in wind.

I ordered up a ...
