Fishing in Boston?

[IRON EAGLE]

Are there any good places to fish in Boston once you get a fishing license for the year?

 

[kingfisher]

Interesting. I never would have thought to fish in a big city. I usually go out into nature.

Good luck to you!

I’m told there are huge catfish in the Charles. Try around Newton and Watertown.

I would be better off eating ground glass. There’d probably be less anal hemorrhaging.

Around castle island there are some spots for striped bass fishing.

Jamaica Pond is stocked with trout.

Seaport or Black falcon opposite the airport You will be pleasantly surprised

Next to the aquarium where the ferry boats are. 40"+ monsters that eat French fries the tourists throw to them.

Catfish, sunfish, carp, snappers, and eel are in the Charles. As a kid, I would sell the carp to the local Chinese food restaurant. I'd catch tires, milk crates, shopping carts, etc., too!

HELL NO! That river has been polluted going back to the 60's. Before that, you could swim in it and not worry about a thing.

Big Striped Bass in the Charles also.

Heard of big striper out by the navy yard.

Big city, sure, but it’s on the flippin coast of the cold water Atlantic. Go surf casting! When I worked in restaurants I had a friend bring in a monster striper he caught surf casting in south Boston. We cleaned it, portioned it, and served it as a special. I hate cooked fish (but eat sushi) and we did this thing up right. It was incredible. Look up skishing if you want a real adventure.

We used to kill the flounder in Quincy Bay when I was a kid. Tons of them where the raw sewerage pipe spilled out in the harbor. That was in the late 70's before Deer Island. My dad called the raw sewerage RubberFish and TamponFish. Everything was floating by. But the flounder were biting.. I'm not kidding...
I didn't eat fish for decades after that.

There are some nice spots up and down Mother Brook. Sunfish, bass, catfish, bullheads, etc.

You might even catch a baby wheel if your lucky

My dad grew up in the Fenway area. When we would go to the park as a kid, he'd point out various places in the Fens he'd go fishing when he was a boy.

He sucks at fishing, so maybe there are no fish. He never talked about catching anything.

Screw fresh water. Drive out of the city and go coastal, there's good spots say from Weymouth and beyond, the further, the better on the bay side. Personally, I'm a sea worm man though many will argue the virtues of the clam, don't be fooled by such nonsense. When you enter the worm mongers, ask for the proprietor and say 2 dozen of your finest specimens please. You may want to keep an eye on him though as some are mischievous and may try and slip you a few anemic, less desirable examples.

if you get to deer island - there is a pier there with a sufficient depth, people fish from it, and i think, do catch something eatable.
people always also fish at castle island, but i never saw anyone to pull anything from the ocean there.

if you do not intend to eat it - then, like others said - charles river got plenty of stuff in it.
