# Wednesday Morning Fishing Report - Maine Atlantic Waters
Hey there, folks! Artificial Lure here with your Wednesday morning report for November 26th.
**Tidal Conditions**
We've got a solid tidal window working in our favor today. High tide is pushing through around 2:17 AM up in Bar Harbor with heights around 9.4 feet, and we're looking at a low around 8:16 AM at about 2.1 feet. Down in Kennebunkport, expect high tide around 2:59 AM at 7.5 feet. These are prime conditions for stripers and other predators pushing into the shallows during the flush.
**Weather & Light**
National Weather Service has a Small Craft Advisory in effect through this evening for coastal waters from Cape Elizabeth down to the Merrimack River. Winds are picking up, so bring your heavy gear and stay safe out there. We're looking at decent light conditions this morning with sunrise around 7 AM and sunset holding at approximately 4:20 PM.
**Recent Activity & Hot Spots**
Big news breaking out of southern New England—Connecticut is seeing a genuine river herring resurgence that hasn't been witnessed in decades. This is significant because it means baitfish are back in force, which means everything else follows. While the run is still rebuilding, the presence of these herring indicates improved marine conditions overall.
Up in Alaska, the Cook Inlet commercial sockeye fishery absolutely exploded this year, pulling in over $36 million worth of fish. That's a strong indicator of healthy forage fish populations and robust predator activity across the board.
**What's Biting**
Striped bass are your primary target right now. Get yourself some Tsunami Heavy Shads—they've been a solid go-to for productive crews all season. Metal lips and needlefish plugs are matching the baitfish perfectly. If you're working with live bait, fresh bunker and alewives when you can source them.
**Hot Spots**
Hit the rocky structure near Cape Elizabeth where the current funnels through during the tidal change. The deeper holes and drop-offs are holding resident stripers waiting for the bait push. Second choice would be working the ledges off southern Maine where the continental shelf breaks—water temperature is perfect for keeping predators aggressive.
