8 NOV 2024 · As of November 8, 2024, the Cape Cod Canal is experiencing a mix of fall fishing conditions that are worth noting for any angler looking to cast a line.
### Tidal and Weather Conditions
Today, the sunrise is at 6:23 AM, and the sunset will be at 4:23 PM. The tidal cycle is crucial here, with high tide expected around 8:45 AM and low tide at 2:45 PM. The weather is mild, with temperatures ranging from the mid-40s to mid-50s, making it a comfortable day for fishing.
### Fish Activity
Striped bass are still present, although their numbers are dwindling as they migrate south. However, there are still intermittent surface feeds, particularly during the changing tides. Tautog fishing has been excellent, especially towards the west end of the Canal, where anglers have been catching good-sized blackfish.
### Types and Amounts of Fish
Yesterday saw some decent catches of striped bass, mostly schoolies, but the real action was with tautog. Anglers reported catching several blackfish in the 7- to 9-pound range, with some even landing larger ones up to 14 pounds and more.
### Best Lures and Bait
For striped bass, lures such as the white Outcast jig, the blue Mac stick Shad, and the Hydrino Longcast in black over purple have been effective. Topwater lures like the Pro Popper Strike Pro and swimmers like the white Seil Stick Shad have also produced results.
For tautog, crabs are the go-to bait. Anglers have been using crabs to probe wrecks and rocks throughout the Canal, especially towards the west end.
### Hot Spots
One of the hot spots right now is the west end of the Cape Cod Canal, where tautog fishing has been particularly good. Another spot is the area around the midnight run, where a night shift can yield some excellent catches of striped bass.
In summary, if you're heading to the Cape Cod Canal today, be prepared for a mix of striped bass and tautog action. Use the right lures and bait, and time your fishing with the tidal cycles for the best results.

7 NOV 2024 · As of November 7, 2024, the Cape Cod Canal is experiencing the tail end of the fall fishing season, but there's still plenty of action to be had.
**Tidal Report:**
The tides are crucial for fishing in the Canal. Today, the high tide is at 9:47 AM and the low tide at 3:47 PM. The changing tides, especially around the slack periods, tend to concentrate the fish and bait, making these times ideal for casting.
**Weather:**
The weather is cool and crisp, with a northeast wind blowing at about 15 mph. The temperature is around 48 degrees Fahrenheit, with partly cloudy skies. These conditions are typical for this time of year and can make for excellent fishing.
**Sunrise and Sunset:**
Sunrise was at 6:23 AM, and sunset will be at 4:23 PM. These twilight hours are often the best times to catch fish, as they tend to be more active during these periods.
**Fish Activity:**
Yesterday saw a good amount of fish activity, particularly during the early morning and late afternoon. Striped bass, ranging from 26 to 35 inches, were caught in decent numbers. The fish are starting their southward migration, but there are still some larger bass lingering in the area.
**Types and Amounts of Fish:**
While the summer months saw larger and more frequent catches, the fall season has been more sporadic. However, dedicated anglers are still catching keeper-sized stripers. There were reports of a few bluefish and bonito in the area, but they are not as abundant as the bass.
**Best Lures and Bait:**
For the Cape Cod Canal, the best lures currently are paddletail jigs, particularly those in green mackerel or white colors. Soft plastics like the Magic Swimmer and Gibbs pencils are also effective. Some anglers have had success with topwater plugs during the early morning and evening hours. For bait, chunk mackerel and squid have been working well, especially when fished on the bottom or near structure.
**Hot Spots:**
The west end of the Canal has been particularly active, especially around the slack tide periods. The area near the Herring Run is also a hotspot, especially at night. Another good spot is the mid-Canal area, where the bass tend to congregate around the rips and structure.
Overall, the Cape Cod Canal remains a great place to fish, even as the season winds down. With the right lures and timing, you can still catch some impressive stripers and other species.

3 NOV 2024 · As of November 3, 2024, the fishing scene in the Cape Cod Canal is still vibrant, despite the cooler weather setting in. Here’s what you need to know for a successful day on the water.
### Tidal Report
The tides are a crucial factor in the Cape Cod Canal, known for its extreme tidal currents. Today, the high tide is at 9:47 AM and the low tide at 3:47 PM, with tidal ranges that can significantly affect fish behavior.
### Weather
The weather is chilly, with temperatures around 45°F and a gentle northeast wind. This kind of weather can make the fish more active, especially as the water temperatures drop.
### Sunrise and Sunset
Sunrise is at 6:24 AM, and sunset is at 4:24 PM, giving you ample daylight to fish.
### Fish Activity
Striper activity is slowing down but not over yet. You can still find decent fish in the backwaters and along the outer beaches. However, the main focus has shifted to tautog fishing, which has been excellent, especially toward the west end of the Canal. Bonito and hickory shad are also active, particularly in the east end of the Canal.
### Fish Caught
Yesterday saw a mix of fish caught, including tautog in the teens, smaller stripers in the mid-20-inch range, and some bonito. The tautog fishing has been particularly good, with several large fish landed.
### Best Lures and Bait
For stripers, using large lures such as swimbaits and topwaters, especially during the night, has been effective. The white Outcast and blue Mac stick Shad have been reliable choices. For tautog, traditional baits like crabs and clams are working well. In the Canal, lures that mimic baitfish, such as the hydrino longcast in black over purple, have also produced results.
### Hot Spots
The west end of the Cape Cod Canal is a hot spot for tautog, with plenty of structure to fish around. The east end is good for bonito and hickory shad, especially where birds are feeding. The beaches of Cape Cod Bay, particularly around the outer Cape, are still producing schools of smaller stripers.
With the November new moon approaching, expect strong tides to bring a wave of bass through the Canal, making it an exciting time to be out on the water. Keep your gear ready and your eyes on the water, as the fall run is still offering plenty of opportunities for a great catch.

2 NOV 2024 · As of November 2, 2024, the fishing scene at the Cape Cod Canal is transitioning into the late fall season, but there's still plenty of action to be had.
### Tidal and Weather Conditions
Today, the sunrise is at 6:23 AM and sunset at 4:34 PM. The tidal cycle is crucial here, with high tide expected around 9:15 AM and low tide at 3:15 PM. The weather is mild, with temperatures ranging from the mid-40s to mid-50s, and partly cloudy skies.
### Fish Activity
Striper activity, although slowing down, is still present. Yesterday saw some decent catches, particularly in the backwaters and outer beaches of the Canal. Schools of small stripers, typically in the mid-20-inch range, were active along the beaches of Cape Cod Bay. With the November new moon approaching, strong tides could bring a wave of bass through the Canal over the next week.
### Types and Amounts of Fish
While the larger stripers are becoming less common, there are still some quality fish to be found. Small to medium-sized stripers, along with some tautog, especially towards the west end of the Canal, were reported. Bonito and hickory shad are also present, particularly in the east end of the Canal.
### Best Lures and Bait
For stripers, using larger lures at night has been effective. Lures like the Hydrino Longcast 170F in black over purple, and the Sebile Stick Shad in ghost or blue Mac colors, have been producing results. Topwater lures and mid-size swimbaits are also recommended, especially during the early morning and late evening hours. For tautog, smaller soft plastics and metals are working well.
### Hot Spots
The west end of the Canal is a hot spot for tautog, with several smaller pieces of structure holding big tog. The east end of the Canal, around the bridges, is good for catching larger striped bass. Additionally, the outer beaches of Cape Cod Bay are still fishing well, with schools of fish occasionally moving towards the Canal.
In summary, the Cape Cod Canal remains a vibrant fishing destination even in early November. With the right lures and an understanding of the tidal cycles, anglers can still enjoy a productive day on the water. Keep an eye on the new moon tides and be prepared for some exciting striper action over the next week.
1 NOV 2024 · As of November 1, 2024, the fishing scene at the Cape Cod Canal is showing signs of late-season activity, though it's still worth getting out there.
**Weather and Tides:**
Today, expect partly cloudy skies with mild temperatures, ranging from the mid-50s to low 60s. The tides are significant, with the new moon tomorrow likely to bring strong tidal movements. High tide is at 9:17 AM and low tide at 3:04 PM.
**Sunrise and Sunset:**
Sunrise is at 6:23 AM, and sunset will be at 4:33 PM, giving you ample daylight to fish.
**Fish Activity:**
Striper activity, though slowing down, is still present. Yesterday saw some decent catches of slot-size stripers, mainly on jigs and topwater lures. The recent mild weather has kept some stripers and bluefish in the area. Tautog fishing has been excellent, particularly toward the west end of the Canal.
**Catches:**
Yesterday, anglers reported catching small to medium-sized stripers, mostly in the 17 to 28-inch range. There were also reports of bluefish and some larger tautog being caught. Bonito and albies, though less common, were still spotted in the area.
**Best Lures and Bait:**
For stripers, topwater lures like the 7-inch Left Eye Lures Wacky Mac Pencil and the Strike Pro Popper have been effective. Jigs, especially the white Outcast and the blue Mac stick shad, have also produced results. For tautog, jigs are the way to go, targeting the smaller pieces of structure.
**Hot Spots:**
Focus on the west end of the Cape Cod Canal for tautog and the north shore for stripers. The area around the jetties in Cape Cod Bay is also worth a try for tautog. If you're looking for a night shift, the Canal's midnight hours can yield some surprising catches, as seen in recent reports.
Keep in mind that the fish are becoming more scattered, so patience and flexibility in your fishing spots and times will be key. With the new moon approaching, the strong tides could bring a wave of bass through the Canal, making the next few days promising for fishing.
31 OCT 2024 · As we head into the last day of October, the Cape Cod Canal is still offering some great fall fishing, despite the cooler weather and unpredictable winds. Today, October 31st, you can expect partly sunny skies with highs in the 50s and 60s, but be prepared for blustery winds that could gust up to 30 knots.
Sunrise is at around 6:30 AM, and sunset will be just before 4:30 PM, giving you a decent window to get out on the water. The tides are crucial here; the east tide is expected to peak around mid-morning, and the west tide will be strongest in the late afternoon.
Striped bass are still the main target in the Canal, although their numbers are dwindling as they continue their southbound migration. Anglers have been doing well, especially around the west end of the Canal, where heavier epoxy jigs and smaller pencils in the 2- to 4-ounce range have been effective in mimicking the prevalent peanut bunker and silversides.
Bonito and false albacore are also present, though their numbers are thinning out. You might luck into a few while casting epoxy jigs for bass or bluefish. Tautog fishing has been excellent, with several fish in the teens landed recently, and green crabs are the go-to bait for these bottom dwellers.
For stripers, focus on the rip rap areas and the edges where the Mashnee Flats drop off into the Canal. Soft plastics, glidebaits, and small topwaters are also good options, especially in the backwaters and estuaries where bass are picking off remaining baitfish.
Hot spots include the west end of the Canal, particularly between the railroad bridge and the Bourne Bridge, and the east end where bonito and false albacore have been active. If you're looking for a more sheltered spot, the backwaters and marshes of Buzzards Bay are worth a try, as they tend to hold fish even in windy conditions.
Remember, the fish are getting picky, so a deliberate approach and blind casting in likely areas can yield a lot of success. Keep an eye out for subtle signs of fish activity, and don't hesitate to switch lures if you're not getting bites. Enjoy the last hurrah of October fishing on the Cape

27 OCT 2024 · As of October 27, 2024, the fishing scene at the Cape Cod Canal is buzzing with activity. The weather is crisp, with a gentle northeast wind that's typical for this time of year, and the water temperature is still around 60 degrees, keeping the fish active.
Today's tidal report shows a strong west tide in the morning, which is ideal for striped bass migration. The sunrise is at 7:05 AM, and sunset will be at 5:34 PM, providing ample daylight for a full day of fishing.
Yesterday saw a flurry of activity, particularly around the east end of the Canal. Striped bass, ranging from schoolies to slot-size and even some over-slot fish up to 40 inches, were caught in good numbers. The fish are feeding aggressively on peanut bunker, mullet, and other baitfish that are abundant in the area.
For those targeting striped bass, using epoxy jigs, plugs, and eels into the rocky structures has been highly effective. The vertical jig bite has also been productive, especially during the east flood tide. Anglers have reported success with lures like Al Gags, Bill Hurley Canal Killers, and Yuzuri swimmers.
Tautog fishing is also heating up, with several fish in the teens landed recently. Targeting rocky structures around the Elizabeth Islands and the south side of Falmouth, particularly areas like Woods Hole and Naska, has yielded good results. Crabs are the go-to bait for tautog.
Hot spots include the east end of the Cape Cod Canal, where the strong currents and tidal flows concentrate baitfish and larger predators. Another prime location is around the entrance points to the salt ponds on the south side, such as Waco Bay and Green Pond, where the peanut bunker feeds have been attracting a lot of fish.
Overall, the conditions are perfect for a productive day of fishing at the Cape Cod Canal. With the right lures and bait, you're likely to catch some impressive fish in this iconic fishing spot.

24 OCT 2024 · As of October 24, 2024, the Cape Cod Canal is buzzing with activity, making it an exciting time for anglers. Here’s what you need to know for today’s fishing trip.
### Weather and Tides
The weather is expected to be mild, with daytime highs in the low 70s and overnight lows around 60 degrees. Sunrise is at 7:04 AM, and sunset will be at 5:43 PM. Tides are crucial in the Canal, and today you can expect a west tide, which is often referred to as the migration tide. This tide typically brings striped bass from Cape Cod Bay into Buzzards Bay.
### Fish Activity
Striped bass fishing has been excellent in the Canal, especially during the morning hours on the east end. Anglers have been catching quality fish, with reports of bass up to 37 inches and weighing up to 40 pounds.
Tautog fishing is also on fire, with many quality fish being caught in shallow waters between 20 and 30 feet deep. The tog bite has been consistent, with fish up to 7 pounds being landed.
### Best Lures and Bait
For striped bass, swimming jigs on a steady retrieve have proven most effective. Lures like the green mack FishLab, white Guppy JoBo, and Kastmaster have been getting plenty of bites. Peanut bunker resin jigs and metals are also popular choices as the bass have grown picky towards plugs.
