# Artificial Lure's Wilmington Fishing Report - Monday, November 24th
Well, folks, it's your boy Artificial Lure coming at you with your Monday morning fishing breakdown for our beautiful Wilmington waters.
Let's start with what Mother Nature's serving up today. We're looking at mostly sunny skies with temperatures hovering around 19 degrees Celsius—that's about 66 degrees for you old-school anglers. Perfect November conditions if you ask me.
Now, tide-wise, we caught a low tide early this morning at 3:04 AM running just 0.58 feet. Your next high tide came through at 9:51 AM at 4.81 feet. That high tide window is money time for shallow-water hunters—redfish and speckled trout are gonna be pushing up on those flats. If you're just getting out now, you're sitting pretty in that post-high tide window where baitfish get pushed around.
Speaking of redfish and speckled trout, those two species are absolutely your bread and butter out here. Folks have been crushing it recently with everything from red grouper and gag grouper to mangrove snapper and snook. This time of year, you can't sleep on mahi mahi either, and kingfish are definitely patrolling the deeper channels.
For tackle, you'll want to throw artificial lures—topwater is phenomenal this time of year when the sun's up. Cut bait and live bait fishing are your best conventional play if you're working the structure. Bottom fishing around those deeper holes will connect you with grouper and snapper.
Hot spots? Freeman Park's your spot if you've got a 4x4—that drive-on beach experience is legendary. The points on either side of the main beaches usually hold some serious fish, especially during twilight hours.
Sunrise was at 6:52 AM this morning, and you're looking at sunset around 5:04 PM, so get after it while you've got daylight.
