# Artificial Lure's Maine Fishing Report - November 20, 2025
Well folks, it's Artificial Lure here with your Thursday morning fishing report for the Maine coast. Let's break down what's happening on the water today.
**Tides and Timing**
We've got a low tide at 4:31 AM this morning at 1.46 feet, with a high tide coming in at 10:32 AM sitting at 11.15 feet. Sunset today is at 4:01 PM, so you've got a narrow window before dark. The next low tide hits at 5:05 PM at just 0.25 feet—that's a pretty dramatic drop—followed by a high tide at 11:10 PM.
**Weather**
National Weather Service is showing seas around 2 feet out there, which isn't terrible for late November. You'll want to bundle up though—we're looking at typical fall conditions.
**Fish Activity and Recent Catches**
The news from the water has been mixed. Fishing reports show tog are still being caught from the inlet rocks on green crabs, and some private boats have been running offshore. Down in Delaware waters, they've had decent action on sea bass and togback in mid-November. The catch data suggests white hake and pollock are your best bets right now, with some haddock mixed in. One recent trip landed a 32.5-pound white hake—that's a trophy.
**Best Baits and Lures**
For structure fishing, green crabs will get tog to bite. If you're drifting, cod flies have been producing well. Live mackerel works for the offshore guys chasing pollock and hake.
**Hot Spots**
Head over to the rocks and inlet structure around Mount Desert and Bar Harbor—that's classic tog territory this time of year. Ocean structure beyond the ledges is where you'll find white hake and pollock.
