Hey anglers, Artificial Lure here with your Cape Cod Canal fishing report for Sunday, November 30th, 2025.
Let's start with the tides. This morning you're looking at a low tide at 3:32 AM at just 0.22 feet, followed by a high tide at 8:49 AM reaching 3.28 feet. We'll see another low at 4:05 PM at 0.24 feet, and a final high at 9:14 PM at 3.2 feet. Those mid-morning and evening tide changes are going to be your sweet spots for stripers moving through the canal.
Weather-wise, it's going to be chilly out there—expect highs around 42 degrees with lows dropping to 28, so bundle up. We've got decent conditions for a productive day on the water.
Now here's where it gets interesting. The canal's been fishing solid for striped bass recently. You want to focus on the major tidal movements—that incoming tide this morning is prime time. Cast your soft swimbaits or white bucktail jigs along the current seams and structure lines. If you're running artificials, go with rootbeer or motor oil-colored swimbaits. Fresh or cut anchovy remains a classic choice if you're soaking bait, backed by consistent catches from boats working these waters.
For your hot spots, I'd get up to Sagamore Bridge before that 8:49 AM high tide—the current rips through there and the stripers are sitting in those eddies. Your second option is down near the Bournedale area where the deeper holes are holding keeper-sized fish, especially on the incoming water.
