Waltham Fishing Report
Another Quick Visit To Charles
Was able to get a line in the water for about an hour after work. This time a different spot on the Charles that I happened to stumble upon. Man were they biting today!! Lost a big one but still pulled in 2 decent size bass. All different colored slug-gos in the lilies made it happen today. Haven't come across any pickerel in my few Charles visits but something took a wicked bite out of a chartreuse slug-go. Assuming it was a massive pickerel. Gonna make this my go to spot for a few weeks and really work it over when I have time. Hope to report back with some good things and pictures.

If you keep moving up the river from the parking lot about 100 yards up there is a public boat launch.

Decent amount of shore fishing. First spot I found was right behind the Old Watch Factory. There's public parking and access to the left when you pull in. There's 2 piers and plenty of fishing along the wall. There's lots of boat, kayak traffic mid day. There def is a spot to drop a kayak or canoe but I'm not 100% where. There's 2 spots right by where I'm talking about that does rental so not sure if you can launch from those. I also have just been parking and walking, looking for little outlets to fish and that's where I stumbled upon my sweet spot. Been getting tons of action. Not a huge area to cast from shore so I don't want to give up the exact spot lol. If you're anywhere near that area though, they're biting like crazy right now. Got 4 in less than an hour today but only one that was a decant size. Good luck!!

How's the shore access in that area? I have not fished that section of the Charles yet. Is there any place to put a kayak in? As I recall the current can be pretty swift in places in Waltham.
