Mystic River - Medford, MA Fishing Report
7/13/10 - Charles River/Mystic River - Waltham, Watertown, And Medford
Well my freshwater struggles continued tonight. I made 2 quick stops on the Charles in Waltham, and Watertown, before ending up at the Mystic in Medford. I only had light tackle with me so I was a little limited of what I could fish. 1st Stop was Purgatory Cove in Waltham, and man is the water chestnut thick over there. Next time Ill bring my flipping gear there. No action, just turtles, and 3 15lb+ Carp swam by. Headed to Watertown boat ramp, and caught a 10" Largemouth on the 2nd cast. That area is very murky/slimey at the moment, so I moved on to the Mystic River. A little murky, but not as bad a Watertown. Pads are in thick to the sides of the channel. Picked up a 9" Yellow Perch quickly on a Rooster Tail, then started throwing a senko. And here is where my struggles continue over a course of 30 mins. 1st bite I miss it, 2nd bite good fish comes off halfway back, 3rd bite 10" Smallie, 4th bite I didnt really feel because of the current, but a nice Smallie rolls on it and lets go, 5th bite miss it, 6th bite 10" smallie, 7th bite I break off a good fish...Ill shake this slump one of these days...hopefully sooner than later!!!

I went to purgatory cove this past weekend and I did not even bother to fish it. The weeds where way too thick for me my gear. It seems like the heat and the low water levels in the Charles are really throwing the fish off.
