Cape Cod Canal Fishing Report Dec 3rd 2025 - Stripers, Blues, and Albies Feeding on Tidal Flows
**Cape Cod Canal Fishing Report – December 3rd, 2025**
Hey folks, Artificial Lure here with your Wednesday morning report for the Canal.
**The Tides & Conditions**
We've got a low tide at 6:13 AM at negative 0.02 feet, followed by a high tide at 11:26 AM sitting at 3.9 feet. Another low comes in around 6:54 PM at negative 0.39 feet. The water's been pushing around nicely, so if you're heading out this morning, you're catching the transition – that's prime feeding time for stripers and blues.
Temperature's holding steady around 36 degrees right now, with highs expected to reach 46. A Gale Warning is in effect from 7 PM tonight through 1 PM tomorrow, so plan your day accordingly. We're looking at decent conditions through midday, but that wind's going to pick up later.
**Fish Activity**
The Canal's been producing solid action on striped bass and false albacore throughout the fall. We're in that shoulder season where the keeper-sized stripers are still cruising the deeper sections, especially around the Sagamore end where tidal flows concentrate baitfish. Blues have been cooperative too when they're in, though they're becoming more sporadic as we push deeper into December.
**What's Working**
For lures, bring your 4 to 6-inch swimbaits in natural patterns – pearl, chartreuse, and dark silhouettes all take fish. Live herring and mackerel remain your top baits if you can source them. Check Canal Bait & Tackle up in Sagamore – they're your one-stop shop for everything you need, open year-round with fresh inventory.
**Hot Spots**
Hit the deeper holes between Bournedale and Sagamore where structure funnels baitfish, or work the riprap along the east wall during the incoming tide. Both spots concentrate feeding activity.
Get out there before that wind arrives. Thanks for tuning in – make sure to subscribe for daily updates.
