Largemouth Bass
Largemouth bass fishing near Chelsea, Massachusetts, centers around the Mystic River and its connected waterways. These urban fisheries offer surprisingly good bass fishing opportunities. The best time to target largemouth here is during the spring spawning season and again in the fall as they fatten up for winter. Focus on areas with heavy cover, such as lily pads, docks, and overhanging trees. Plastics like senkos and creature baits are highly effective, as are topwater lures fished early in the morning or late in the evening. Access can be a bit tricky in this urban setting, but there are several public access points along the Mystic River Reservation. Fishing from shore is common, but a kayak or small boat can greatly expand your reach. Be aware of the boat traffic, especially during the summer months. The largemouth in these waters tend to be opportunistic feeders, so don't be afraid to experiment with different presentations. Also, be mindful of potential pollution and practice catch and release to help protect this valuable urban fishery.
