8/25/09 - Mystic River - Medford, MA
Fished for about an hour tonight after work at a common spot for me lately. Not much has changed here since last time, expect the water level is down a bit. The good news, I got 2 Yellow Perch. The bad news, I got two bites, one on the dropshot, and the other on the senko, that hit like a truck just to drop it a few seconds later...Dohh!!!! Well if I get my ass out of bed in the morning Im gonna try and get them tommorow AM before work.
You have to find a place to park on the side streets and walk down to the water. The main street are mostly "no parking" along the river.
P.S. I never got out of bed early enough this morning, so after work it is.
I AM THINKING OF TRYING THIS SPOT THIS WEEK. SOME OF THE DIRECTIONS ON GOOGLE SEND ME TO DEAD ENDS OR NOT GOOD ACCESS POINTS TO FISH.ANY SUGGESTIONS ON WHAT STREET AND WHERE TO GO.
I've caught a number of yellow perch off those rocks too, but I've never gotten decent bass there, like others have (couple of dinks). I hope the passing boats were more courteous to you than they usually are to me--I fished near the other side of that bridge in the kayak once and almost got hit by some d&^khead coming through 25 mph under that bridge with very little visibility.
Good luck tomorrow morning if you make it out there!
