Holdovers

[canaljigger]

does anyone know the name or directions on how to get to the powerplant on the charles river in boston, Ive heard that there are holdover stripers and blues in that area

[canaljigger]

Bob at redtops told me yesterday that his buddy caught over 40 fish at the nuke plant in plymouth, bhow the hell do you get fishing access there

[fishsmith]

You need to work there. Have you ever seen the cancer studies around that plant - bad news - not a place I'd want to work, but I do miss fishing there.

[Squid kids Dad]

Last I knew it was locked up tight..

[FishermanTim]

IT'S LOCATED AT THE END OF MEMORIAL DRIVE, JUST BEFORE THE CAMBRIDGE GALLERIA. PARKING CAN BE DIFFICULT , WITH ALL THE RESIDENT PARKING, BUT THE EARLIER YOU GET THERE THE BETTER YOUR CHANCES.

[thefishingfreak]

that powerplant is in boston,right on the salt.
its at the end of the reserve channel{black falcon cruise terminal}.
tough to fish,for security reasons. but i know there's a hole in the fence though.

the emilia earheart dam in somerville is a better spot.no sneaking in.plenty of parking too. its behind the home depot/curcuit city thats on rt. 93.
go way in the back past the yacht club and under the r/r bridge and your there. theres a bike path/soccer field for the kids to play arround in as well.

the bass are definitly there all winter.
i caught a 31" last march 24th.
try to catch a super dead low tide arround sunset.the bass don't have as much water to roam and they really stack up at low tide.
bring mud boots for low tide.
you can fish the fresh water side as well from the same spot.
good luck.

I was going to try there tomorrow, but I think it might be a little chilly.
Later,

[thefishingfreak]

my son, at last years first attempt.
no fish, but at least we tried.

[medikmike]

We are thinking of going there on friday hopefully the weather will stay nice out. Any hint on where we should go down there we are from worcester

[thefishingfreak]

supposed to be 70 degrees on friday.
from 93s take the sullivan square/charsltown exit, stay far right on the ramp, turn left under bridge{93} home depot/k-mart will be on your right. go to the way back of the parking lot between the two.. past the taxi garage, and the yacht club, under the r/r bridge and your there.

fishfreak, the factory is located somewhere in malden/somersville and close to the wellington station?

[medikmike]

thanks for the info have you been down there this year yet or has there been much action there

[medikmike]

Well we gave the mystic river a shot today down at the earhart dam and we didn't get anything or see anything word was that a guy caught 4 the day before and one was a keeper on a wild eyes shad Well i guess better luck next time

[thefishingfreak]

i havn't been there in a couple weeks,
rumors are there catching them though.
malden/wellington is on the other side of the river from the first pic.you can get there behind the home depot/costco/target way in the back,,,but you can't go on the dam. you have to stay left of it, pretty much right underneath the train bridge.
the sommerville side of the dam is behind home depot/curcuit city{yes two home depot's mirror each other allong the banks}.
and there's more room to walk the bank}




standing on the sommerville side, looking at the malden side.
{i think? it's actually everette?}

The icing on the cake was that there was a fancy schmancy boat in there with all the bells and whistles fishing for holdovers and as we hoisted fish after fish after fish, they didnt catch chit They knew we were catching and tried to get close to us but we kept casting at them once in a while to let them know that we meant business!

[medikmike]

[ThrowingTimber]

[thefishingfreak]

took the boat up to the mistic river dam this morning. nothing but windburn. even fished the hot water outflow at the eddison plant{LNG tanker wasn't in} with no luck.
lots of marks down close to the bottom in 60' or so. couldn't stay on top of them. too windy.
