Walleye
Walleye fishing near Chelsea, MA, requires a bit of a drive, as they aren't commonly found in the immediate vicinity. However, heading west towards the Connecticut River or certain larger reservoirs in central Massachusetts presents viable options. The Oxbow, a section of the Connecticut River, is a popular spot. Walleye prefer deeper, cooler water, so focus on areas with structure like submerged rocks and drop-offs. Spring and fall are the most productive seasons, particularly during the pre-spawn and post-spawn periods. Jigs tipped with nightcrawlers or minnows are a classic walleye presentation. Trolling crankbaits can also be effective, especially in larger bodies of water. Be sure to consult the Massachusetts fishing regulations for size and creel limits specific to walleye and the waterbody you're fishing. Also, be aware of strong currents in the Connecticut River and take appropriate safety precautions.
