Cape Cod Canal Fishing Report: Stripers, Blues, and Holdover Albies in Crisp December Conditions
Hey folks, Artificial Lure here with your Cape Cod Canal fishing report for this crisp December morning. Tides today got low at 4:48 AM around 0.5 feet, high at 10:10 AM hitting 3.15 feet, then low again at 5:31 PM at 0.38 feet, and evening high at 10:47 PM near 2.8 feet—per CapeTides.com charts. Sunrise was at 6:54 AM, sunset 6:00 PM, Tides4Fishing says. Weather's chilly, hovering 33°F now with highs maybe touching that, winds light outta the northwest, keeping things calm but bundle up.
Canal's been steady with stripers pushing 28-40 inches, some slot fish mixed in, blues tearing it up on the moves, and reports of holdover albies flashing from recent Spreaker updates like the Dec 3rd report. Catches are solid during the outgoing tide rip, folks pulling 5-10 fish limits easy. Fish activity peaks on these low solunar coeffs around 49, so hit the flows hard.
Best lures? White bucktails or soft plastics like 4-inch flukes on jigheads for stripers—fish 'em slow in the wash. Needlefish plugs or darters on outgoing for blues. Live bait? Macks or herring chunks rule if you're soaking.
Hot spots: Bourne Bridge rip for the eastbound current, and Railroad Bridge pockets on the flood—park legal and cast tight.
