# Artificial Lure's Cape Cod Canal Fishing Report – Monday, November 17th
Hey folks, Artificial Lure here with your Monday morning fishing report for Cape Cod Canal.
**Tide & Conditions**
We've got a low tide at 6:16 AM this morning with just a quarter foot of water, followed by a high tide at 11:33 AM reaching 3.32 feet. Another low comes in around 6:49 PM. The water's rising right now, which is perfect if you're planning an afternoon session. Temperature's sitting around 54 degrees with a high expected around 58, so bundle up – November mornings bite hard both ways.
**What's Biting**
The stripers have been active through the canal lately. November's prime time for these fish as they stage for their offshore migration. Fall baitfish like sand eels and herring are moving through, which means the stripers are feeding aggressively. You'll want to match the hatch with your presentations.
**Lures & Bait**
For artificials, throw white or chartreuse bucktail jigs in the two to four-ounce range. Work them along the deeper channel edges where current pushes. Soft plastic shads rigged on 3/8 to 1/2 ounce heads will produce all day. Live sand eels are your premium bait choice right now – fish them under a float in the deeper holes. Mackerel chunks work solid for stripers too, and they'll attract keeper-sized fish.
**Hot Spots**
The railroad bridge area holds fish during the rising tide. The deeper channel east of the bridge concentrates stripers waiting on baitfish pushes. Second choice is the Sagamore side flats – the structure there holds quality fish early and late in the tide cycle.
**Parting Thoughts**
Morning bite should be prime through that 11 AM high. Tide's in your favor. Get out there and tight lines!
