lots of different spots bobby. there's watertown / brighton, waltham, then the spots i listed. i can give you specific addresses but would have to look them up on the map to find coordinates. that's probably easiest since i don't know the addresses off the top of my head. let me know.

Sam, where do you usually launch from?
samf

roger, skip watertown...go right to waltham and the twin coves area. the stretch we have been hitting is a little bit out of your way though - needham / newton / dover / dedham. but waltham is one of the best and most popular stretches. tons of big bass there.

We used to fish the Charles in the Waltham/Watertown area back in the day. Haven't had the Pelican in there though, only from shore. Maybe it's time in 2013?

yeah smoke said it was high compared to a little while ago. i hadn't been there in awhile though. i love the dirty water though...tons of places to launch close by and each one has different stuff to fish - slop, wood, rocks, bridges, pads, etc. i wish it didn't get so cold b/c i only found some of these recently and they're close by.

I drove past the Charles today and couldn't believe how high the water is. It is a completely different river from the one I fished a bunch of times earlier this year.

nah, big fan of the charles. and it's 10 minutes away. it technically wasn't a jig but a customized texas rig. small hook, 1/4 oz. weight, texas rigged craw. i did this to be able to fish on lighter line with a lighter wire hook and still keep things weedless. slow pulls on the bottom.

Here I thought Sam was going to fish the Merrimack. Great job on the jigs. Seems jigs produced big fish a lot of places this weekend. Gonna hafta work on my jig techniques in 2013.
