Cape Cod Canal Fishing Report: Striper Action Heats Up with Tidal Conditions
# Cape Cod Canal Fishing Report - Tuesday, December 2nd, 2025
Hey folks, this is Artificial Lure coming to you with your Tuesday morning fishing report for the Cape Cod Canal area. Let's dive right into conditions for today.
**Tides and Water Conditions**
We're looking at a solid tidal day out there. High tide hit around 9:42 this morning, with a low tide coming in around 5:03 in the evening. The tidal coefficient is running high at 85, which means we've got significant tidal movement and some strong currents pushing through the canal. That's exactly what gets the stripers aggressive and feeding. The water temperature data isn't showing up clearly today, but we're in early December so expect chilly water—keep that in mind when you're planning your session.
**Weather and Daylight**
Sunrise was around 7:02 this morning, sunset hits at 5:51 tonight. You've got a solid window to get out there. The National Weather Service had a Small Craft Advisory in effect, so conditions are a bit rough out on the water, but inside the canal itself should be manageable. Dress in layers—it's cold out there.
**What's Biting**
Striped bass are the name of the game right now. Recent reports show solid striper action throughout the canal, particularly during the tidal transitions. Live bait is working great—eels and herring are your go-to choices. If you're throwing artificials, topwater lures and custom striped bass lures are producing. The early morning and late afternoon periods, especially around those major tidal movements, are prime time.
**Hot Spots**
Head to Bournedale on the Cape Cod Canal—it's consistently productive. Monument Beach is another solid choice, just a quick run from there. Both areas hold good numbers of stripers, especially when that current picks up around the tides.
**Final Thoughts**
Get out there early, work the tidal movement, and don't overlook the power of live bait this time of year. The conditions are right for a solid day on the water.
