# Cape Cod Canal Fishing Report - Thursday, November 27, 2025
Hey folks, Artificial Lure here with your Thanksgiving Day fishing report for Cape Cod Canal. Let me break down what's happening out there today.
**Tides and Conditions**
We've got a rising tide this morning with high tide hitting around 5:28 AM, so if you're heading out early, you're catching the tail end of that push. Low tide comes in around 12:21 PM, then another high tide at 5:31 PM. Sun's up at around 7:09 AM and we're looking at sunset around 5:43 PM, so you've got a decent window to work with between holiday meals.
**What's Biting**
Here's the good news—mackerel are absolutely crushing it in the Canal right now. This is prime time for them heading into late November. The east end's been on fire with solid action. You're also going to find some big brown trout in the freshwater ponds nearby, running 20-plus inches and actively feeding as water temps drop. Rainbow trout are pushing baitfish around too, and if you're lucky, a hefty smallmouth or largemouth might grab your offering.
**What to Throw**
For mackerel, keep it simple—grab a medium-heavy or heavy spinning setup with sabiki rigs and 3 to 4-ounce sinkers. Can't go wrong with that combo. If you're working the shallows for trout and bass, suspending jerkbaits are your ticket right now. Work them slow with long pauses. Metal spoons are also crushing it on the rainbow trout pushing herring. Cast parallel to shore for best results.
**Hot Spots**
Hit the east end mackerel grounds first thing—they've been consistent all week. Then work your way to the muddy brackish ponds and creeks near the salt marsh if you want freshwater action. Those areas hold trout and pickerel all winter.
