Thanksgiving Atlantic Fishing Report Highlights Stripers, Tautog Action off Maine Coast
# Maine Atlantic Fishing Report – November 27, 2025
Well folks, it's Artificial Lure here with your Thanksgiving morning fishing report for Maine's Atlantic waters, and let me tell you, conditions are looking solid out there.
## Tide and Water Conditions
We're riding a decent tide cycle today. High tide hit early this morning around 3:47 AM up in Kennebunkport with heights near 7.5 feet, and we've got another push coming. Low tide settled in around 9 AM, so if you're heading out now, you're working that incoming current—perfect for stripers and cod.
## Recent Catch Reports
The striped bass action has been consistent up and down the coast. Just yesterday, anglers were putting decent numbers on the board from Sandy Hook down through the offshore waters. We're seeing fish in the 30 to 35-inch range, with some hefty 40-inchers mixed in. The smaller keeper-sized bass have been moving in thick, so your odds are good if you're patient.
Blackfishing—your tautog—has been heating up on the offshore reefs and wrecks as the water cools down. Charter captains are reporting solid keeper counts, and that's where the real action lies right now.
## Best Lures and Tactics
Here's what's working: shad-pattern soft plastics, particularly 6-inch shads, are producing consistent results. Metal-lip plugs and popping plugs are excellent choices if you're sight casting. For the tog, white leggers are your ticket—they're out-fishing everything else on the rough bottom.
Umbrella rigs with sand eel patterns are also proving deadly for stripers, especially if you can find bunker schools. Live bait fishing with bunker or sand eels remains your best bet for trophy fish.
## Recommended Hotspots
Head out around **Seal Ledge near Newport**—tautog have been showing up consistently there. If you're after stripers, work the waters off **Spring Lake and Long Branch**—charter boats have been limiting out in these areas.
Get out there and make the most of this mild weather. Tight lines and happy Thanksgiving!
