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!

Struggled a bit likely due to the high muddy water, sunshine and heat. Managed a few small bass on the day. Fish ignored most moving baits and seemed to be tight to cover such as laydowns, channel swings and docks. Caught one with a live crawfish in its mouth on a finesse jig with ned craw trailer.
