Good morning Boston anglers, this is Artificial Lure with your Charles River fishing report for today, October 27, 2025.A cool autumn morning greets us by the water, with sunrise at 7:11 AM and sunset at 5:43 PM, so you’ll want to maximize daylight on these increasingly crisp days. Boston’s tide chart for today shows a low tide around 9:35 AM and a high near 3:47 PM—prime time for moving water between late morning and early afternoon, which often sparks fish activity as bait shifts through the river channels according to Tide-Forecast.com.Weather this morning is brisk and mostly clear, with temps climbing from the mid-40s into the mid-50s by midday, and light northwest breezes keeping things fresh but manageable. These conditions are classic late-October: cool, stable, and perfect for both shallow and deep river spots.Recent catches on the Charles have been solid. According to the Boston Charles River Daily Fishing Report podcast, last week’s pressure changes and cooling water brought out some good late-season action: largemouth bass are holding near fallen trees and concrete pilings; smallmouth are staging around rocky bends closer to Watertown Dam; and the usual cast of yellow perch and pumpkinseed sunfish are still biting actively at midday. Evening outings have even enticed a few respectable-sized carp and the occasional catfish from the deeper holes.Today’s best bets for lures: go with downsized crankbaits in silver or crawfish colors, or soft plastics rigged wacky or weightless for the bass. Inline spinners and beetle spins are knocking ‘em dead on the perch and sunfish, especially near weed edges and docks. If you’re targeting carp or catfish, break out dough baits or simple bits of corn—natural scent is key now, as water clarity has improved with less boat traffic. For you bait fans, nightcrawlers remain the classic, but don’t overlook live shiners suspended under a float in slow current pockets.Local anglers are reporting the best activity between 8:00–10:30 AM on the incoming tide, and again 2:00–4:30 PM on the outgoing. Watch for active feeding birds—cormorants and gulls tend to give away where bait is getting chased.Hot spots today: the stretch from the Longfellow Bridge upriver toward Magazine Beach has produced consistent largemouth and perch, especially at eddy seams. Closer to the Harvard Boathouse, rocky riprap and bridge abutments have been loaded with smallmouth and sunfish. For a quieter session, try the mudflats and near-shore pools below the Eliot Bridge, where the current disrupts just enough to stack up baitfish and prowling predators.Boston’s season is settling into that final fall push. Fish are feeding up ahead of winter. Tactics should focus on slower, more deliberate presentations—but don’t be surprised by a burst of aggression as predators gorge for the cold months ahead.Thanks for tuning in to today’s Charles River fishing report.
