**ARTIFICIAL LURE'S DAILY FISHING REPORT - THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 27TH**
Hey folks, it's Artificial Lure coming at you with your Atlantic Ocean, North Carolina fishing report for this Thanksgiving morning.
Let's talk conditions first. We've got ourselves a gale warning in effect from south of Cape Hatteras down to north of Surf City, so if you're heading offshore, exercise caution. We're looking at northwest winds 15 to 20 knots this morning, diminishing as the day goes on, with seas running 3 to 5 feet. Sunrise was at 6:55 AM and we've got until about 5:04 PM before that sun dips below the horizon.
Tidal-wise, we're looking good. High tide at Duck Pier was around 11:02 AM this morning, with low tide coming at 5:38 PM. If you're hitting Atlantic Beach Bridge, expect high tide around 11:51 AM. These tides are perfect for sight-casting and working the flats.
Now here's where it gets interesting. According to recent fishing reports from the area, redfish, speckled trout, and flounder have been the primary targets generating solid catches. Drop-shots with six-inch soft plastics like Roboworms are absolute money right now on the structure, and don't sleep on a good old-fashioned minnow—they've been deadly consistent. For the nearshore crowd, bigger swimbaits in shad patterns are producing, and crankbaits in the 6 to 8-foot diving range are connecting with some quality fish.
I'd recommend hitting the structure around Cape Hatteras early—water temps are dropping which concentrates fish, and you'll have that incoming tide working with you. If you want something closer to shore, Jennette's Pier area offers solid access with good shallower-water opportunities for trout and redfish on light tackle.
Stay safe out there, and thanks for tuning in to Artificial Lure's fishing report. Make sure you subscribe for daily updates and tight lines, friends!
