Now and this weekend on the Charles!

As you know, we are mid fishing tourney (Best of Luck to the competitors).  Fishermen and women are the powerboaters most likely to get up early, so keep your eyes peeled in the mornings.  See info Below on that, and on this weekends, big CRI event and college Sailing is BACK! - and so are HOCR pieces.  See the notes on all of these things below..

 

Sept 12 - 14.  As you all know, there is a fishing tourney going on right now on the Charles River. 

The Final BASS fishing event on the Charles / Mystic river   September 12-14 .  the launch each day is out of the mystic wellington ramp in Medford Mass, the bass boats will have to lock through the two locks to get into the Charles river,  most of the bass fishing will be done at the lower end of the Charles and the mystic river, mystic lakes in Medford Ma.  because of the amount of time and the no wake  very few boats will head that far up the Charles river.  This is a regional event  with 48 total boats 6 from each of the states ME ,NY,RI, CT, NH,VT ,Canada and Spain. This event will  bring some notoriety to the Charles River  on the great job that has been done on the water quality and how well this river has been managed. We hope to get some funding from the B.A.S.S. ( Bass Anglers Sportsman Society ) after this event to continue with projects on the river like the water chestnuts.

 

 The launch times are app.  7:00 am each day  and they end app. 15:00-15:30.  All  fisherman are aware of the rivers no wake and  the scullers having  right of way as well as all restrictions,   any boat that doesn't follow the rules  will be disqualified.  I Have attached the flyer that all states received for your review.

 

All permits have been filed with the DCR and the state.
