Hey there, anglers! Artificial Lure here with your Cape Cod Canal fishing report for March 31, 2025. Let me tell ya, the fishing's been heating up in the Big Ditch, and I've got all the juicy details for ya.

First off, let's talk tides. We've got a high tide at 5:12 AM and another at 5:38 PM, with low tide hitting at 11:25 AM. Remember, those slack tide periods about an hour before and after the turn are prime fishing times in the Canal.

Weather-wise, it's a bit nippy out there with temps in the low 40s, but we've got clear skies and light winds, so it's not too shabby for early spring fishing. Sunrise was at 6:28 AM, and we're looking at sunset around 7:10 PM.

Now, onto the good stuff - the fish! We're still in that transition period, folks, but things are starting to pick up. Striped bass are making their way back, with schoolies in the 24-28 inch range being caught pretty regularly. Word is, a lucky fella landed a 40-incher near the Sagamore Bridge just yesterday. For you bottom-feeders out there, tautog fishing has been decent, especially around the rocky areas. A few early flounder have been reported too, but nothing to write home about just yet.

As for lures, those pencil poppers are starting to produce, especially in bone white or mackerel patterns. Don't put away your jigs though - a 4-ounce white or chartreuse soft plastic on a jighead is still a solid bet. For you live bait enthusiasts, fresh mackerel or seaworms are your best friends right now.

Hot spots this week? The Cribbin area has been producing some nice stripers, and the stretch near the Herring Run is always worth a shot. If you're after tautog, try around the pilings of the railroad bridge.

Remember, it's still early in the season, so patience is key. But hey, a slow day fishing the Canal beats a good day doing just about anything else, right?

Tight lines, everyone! This is Artificial Lure, signing off until next time.

Hey there, fellow anglers! Artificial Lure here with your Cape Cod Canal fishing report for March 30, 2025. Let me tell ya, the fishing's been heating up in the Big Ditch lately, so grab your gear and let's dive in!

First off, let's talk tides. We've got a high tide at 10:14 AM and another at 10:40 PM, with low tide hitting at 4:04 PM. Remember, those slack tide periods about an hour before and after the turn are prime fishing times in the Canal.

Weather-wise, it's a bit blustery out there with winds around 10-15 mph and partly cloudy skies. Water temp's hovering around 48°F, so bundle up if you're heading out. Sunrise was at 6:29 AM, and we're looking at sunset around 7:09 PM.

Now, onto the good stuff - the fish! We've been seeing some decent action with schoolie stripers in the 24-28 inch range, with a few keepers mixed in. Word is, a lucky fella landed a 42-incher near the Sagamore Bridge just yesterday. Bluefish have been scarce, but a few early birds have been spotted chasing bait near the east end.

For lures, you can't go wrong with white or chartreuse paddletails on a 3/4 oz jighead. The Magic Swimmer in mackerel pattern has also been producing, especially during the early morning hours. If you're looking to throw some topwater, the Canal Special pencil popper in bone color has been getting some nice blow-ups.

Bait-wise, fresh mackerel chunks or live eels are your best bet for the bigger stripers. Just remember, circle hooks are mandatory when using natural baits for stripers.

As for hot spots, the Herring Run area has been consistently productive, especially on the outgoing tide. The Scusset Beach jetty is another good bet, particularly for those targeting the early bluefish.

If you're looking to avoid the crowds, try working the stretch near the railroad bridge. I've heard whispers of some nice fish being pulled out of there, but keep it under your hat, will ya?

Remember folks, the tides wait for no one, so time your trips accordingly. And hey, if you see me out there, don't be shy - come say hi and let me know what's biting!

Tight lines and see you on the riprap!
