Sunday Rush Hour on the Esplanade Canoeway

The canoeway on the Charles River Esplanade was busy Sunday afternoon while Storrow Drive was quiet.

A couple, out for a romantic gondola tour, smiled at passing paddlers from their sedate and elegant ride.

We stopped for a little while just to watch the parade of passing boats.

Most folks were taking it easy, but this trio paddled at high speed. Perhaps they were running late on their kayak rental return.

Most boaters avoided the lily pads but a few, like this paddleboarder, cut a pathway through the plants.

These women used the patch of pads as a rest area to take a break and check their phones …

… before continuing on their way. (Or at least one of them continued paddling, the other must have been answering an important text.)

While you do have to rent the boats, sitting and watching them go by is free!

Bass Fishing on the Charles River

All summer long, we've seen rods and reels along the Esplanade as anglers choose favorite spots for a major bass fishing tournament to be held on the Charles and Mystic Rivers in September. The B.A.S.S. Federation Nation, Eastern Division Championship will take place on the Charles and Mystic Rivers from September 12th to the 14th, 2012.

This bass, caught along the Esplanade canoeway, was too small to keep. After posing for a quick photo, it was returned to the river.

Perhaps the currents under the Mass Ave Bridge are a sweet spot for this angler.
