First time fishing the Charles River. pretty close to downtown Boston. Found a public park with a small Little inlet. Focused on rip rap points and they would act as a pinch point for ambush. The water is tannic stained and the sight flash keitech stands out perfect in this color water. Caught 2 largemouth and had a smallmouth jump off in an hour. Never travel and fish without some white keitech Swimbaits. Easiest way to cover water in multiple depth zones.

Bite has been slow the last week or so. I caught this one using a neko rig using the VMC Crossover Ring. I used a big 11" Xzone floating worm to get this bite. Love the VMC Crossover Ring. You can position your hook two different ways to fit your fishing technique.

Mostly smaller bass 3/4 lb to 1 1/2lb. Nichols flapjack trailer. Also on wacky rig, spook, and underspin. Junk fishing, couldn't really get a pattern going. All up shallow, from a kayak.

Caught this nice largemouth (3lbs. 5oz) on a Zman jackhammer 3/8th oz. chatterbait using a paddle tail for a trailer. Rod is a St.Croix Legend Elite casting rod paired with Daiwa tatula elite casting reel 7.1. Great combo for cranking. I'm really impressed with the Daiwa tatula elite casting reel. I think it's the best reel in that price range.

Caught this one (3lbs 4oz) on a drop shot in submerged vegetation. The rod and reel set-up I'm using is perfect for finesse fishing. Nice combo for the price range. Really like the Vmc spin shot hooks. Keeps your line from twisting when using drop shot and keeps your bait in perfect position.

Caught this fat hog on a point that has a bunch of rock piles. She weighed 3lbs. 9oz. The Dobyns extreme casting rod is a really nice rod for cranking. Paired with the Daiwa zillion casting reel it's one of my favorite setups. Spro rock crawler 55 diving crankbait is awesome for this job.
