Hey folks, Artificial Lure here with your Cape Cod Canal fishing report for Thursday, November 20th, 2025.

Let's start with the tides. We're looking at a falling tide this morning transitioning to low tide around mid-morning. According to the NOAA data, expect high tide around 12:43 AM at 3.05 feet and low tide at 7:35 AM at 0.45 feet. There's another high tide hitting around 12:47 PM at 3.4 feet. The afternoon low tide comes in around 8:09 PM at just 0.14 feet. These are excellent numbers for canal fishing—we're in that sweet spot with good tidal movement.

Weather-wise, we're looking at 36 degrees and heading to a low around 30. Sun comes up at 6:36 AM and sets at 4:18 PM, so get out there early to catch that morning bite.

Fish activity has been solid. Tautog is your best bet right now, and striped bass are pushing in shallow with the tidal changes. Word from the bait shops indicates guys are landing quality fish, especially on the falling tide.

For tackle, you'll want to rig some flat-sided metals—think Charlie Graves tins and Deadly Dicks for distance casting. Classics like Hopkins work great early morning and at sundown when bass move shallow. If you're chasing tog, bring green crabs with stout leader. For striped bass at first light, a white or olive soft plastic paddle tail around 7 inches works magic, especially bounced slow in the wash to mimic stunned peanut bunker.

Hit the Bourne Bridge area—it's always productive with solid current flow. The Sagamore side is firing too, particularly around the pilings where baitfish hang tight.
