Largemouth Bass
Largemouth bass fishing in Cambridge offers a unique urban angling experience. The Charles River, winding through the heart of the city, holds a surprisingly healthy population of largemouth. While the river sees heavy recreational use, dedicated anglers can find success by targeting areas with less boat traffic. Focus on structure like docks, bridge pilings, and weed beds. Spring and fall are generally the best times to fish for largemouth here, as the fish are more active in cooler water. Summer can still produce, but early mornings and late evenings are key. A kayak or canoe is ideal for navigating the river and accessing prime fishing spots. A local tip: pay attention to the tides, as the Charles is tidal in this area. Fishing around tide changes can often trigger increased bass activity. Largemouth in the Charles River tend to be opportunistic feeders, so a variety of lures and techniques can be effective.
