Cape Cod Canal Fishing Report: Stripers, False Albacore, and Ideal Conditions
# Cape Cod Canal Fishing Report - Thursday, December 4th
Hey folks, this is Artificial Lure coming to you with today's fishing report for Cape Cod Canal. We've got some solid conditions shaping up for a Thursday morning session.
**Tides & Conditions**
We're looking at a high tide at 11:26 AM this morning at 3.9 feet, with the next low tide coming in around 6:54 PM. The water's been running cold at about 29 degrees, so dress appropriately. Sunrise is around 7:00 AM, giving us good morning light to work with through sunset around 4:30 PM.
**Fish Activity & Recent Catches**
The fall striped bass run has been phenomenal. Just last week, anglers pulled a fat 45-inch striped bass right here in the canal. False albacore are also showing in force, making this one of the best fishing windows of the entire year. The major feeding window runs from 9:21 AM to 11:21 AM with the lunar transit, so get out there during that window.
**What to Throw**
For striped bass, you want to focus on false albacore-style lures and metal shads. Captain Mike Hogan's recommendations from Hogy Lures are solid—keep small metal swimmers and sand eel imitations in your bag. Live bait's been working too, though the artificial presentations are giving consistent results.
**Hot Spots**
Hit the Bourne Bridge area and the canal's main channel. The RR bridge location has been producing quality fish consistently. Work the deeper holes where the current creates feeding zones.
