Been fishing the Charles near BU and Harvard, fish have been concentrated in and around bridges, and tight to shade-lines. Try to be stealthy while fishing from the bank and pitch your jig to to the edge of the shade-lines. I've been keeping the retrieve simple with just a basic hopping/dragging retrieve. Work the shade-lines the same way with spook and make sure to follow up if they miss it!

Fishing the Charles around BU, Kenmore and Back Bay. Despite the colder temps this week fish were still up shallow and relatively active. I Found fish on all sorts of hard cover and structure. The key seemed to be getting as tight to cover as possible with the spinnerbait. When the spinnerbait bite slowed flipping the finesse jig around these same types of cover generated a couple extra bites. Hoping this bite stays alive a bit longer.
