Artificial Lure here with your Saturday, October 25th, Charles River fishing report—coming at you live as the fog burns off and autumn color lights up Boston’s riverbanks.We woke up to a classic crisp New England morning: the mercury sat at 51 degrees at dawn and it looks to top out around 60 degrees today under mostly clear skies, according to the latest local weather update. The breeze is light out of the west, which’ll help keep that river surface just a bit ruffled and make wary bass a touch more comfortable about biting.Today’s tidal pattern, gleaned from recent tide charts, shows a low tide hitting right around 8:13am and highs peaking at 2.23ft by 2:23pm, with another low arriving close to sunset. That means if you’re out between late morning and early afternoon, you’ll catch fish moving shallow to hunt bait—an excellent time to work the edges and drop-offs.Sunrise was at 7:09am; you’ve already missed the magic first-light bite, but sunset at 5:46pm promises another window as fish gear up for the night. Those “Golden Hours” tend to see the best action of the day on the Charles.Now, to the heart of it—what’s biting? The Charles has been generous this past week, with anglers pulling decent numbers of largemouth bass, some smallmouth, and a healthy mix of crappie and perch. Boston Charles River Daily Fishing Report notes the bite is varied: you’ve got fish from the Museum of Science basin up through Herter Park, especially where cover meets current.Most folks are reporting success on classic fall lures: white spinnerbaits, 3” paddletail swimbaits in shad or perch color, and shallow- to mid-running crankbaits in firetiger or natural patterns. If you’re patient, a wacky-rigged stickworm in green pumpkin skips beautifully under overhanging branches.Live bait isn’t legal in all stretches, so check regs before tossing a shiner. That being said, for panfish, a plain worm on a size 8 hook still fills a bucket, especially off docks and piers near Magazine Beach.Hot spots this week:- The Esplanade lagoons: Plenty of cover, warmer pockets, and a reliable bass/crappie scene near the mouth of Storrow Lagoon.- Weeks Footbridge area in Cambridge: Moving water, underwater structure, and less pressure than downtown stretches—big perch and the odd football-sized bass were brought in here three days running.A quick head’s up for shoreline casters: the autumn leaf drop is well underway, and that means more “snags” but also camouflaged forage for ambush predators. Fish your plastics slow and tight to structure.A final tip: Whatever tackle you’re using, consider going a size down on line for the clear water and stick to natural colors. The river’s running extra clear with the cooler temps and lower flows.That’s it for today from the Charles! Thanks for tuning in—tight lines to all, and if you landed a big one, I want to see those pics.
