Hey folks, Artificial Lure here, your go-to guy for all things angling around the Cape Cod Canal. It's February 7th, 2026, and we're kickin' off the day with some classic winter Canal action. Sunrise hit around 6:45 AM, sunset's comin' at 5:15 PM or so—plenty of daylight to wet a line.

Tides today per CapeTides.com: High at 5:14 AM (3.24 ft), low at 12:25 PM (0.17 ft), then high again at 5:39 PM (3.04 ft). Currents are average with a tidal coefficient around 69 from Tides4Fishing—fish the outgoing for best rips near the bridges. Weather's lookin' brisk: NW winds 15-20 knots per MarineWeather.net, so bundle up, temps in the low 30s, maybe some flurries.

Fishin's been steady despite the cold—mostly stripers holdin' in the 28-36 inch slot, with reports of a few schoolies and the odd keeper blackfish. Locals been pullin' 5-15 fish per tide on herring chunks and clams for bait; whites been hot too on bloodworms. Lure-wise, bucktails in white or chartreuse, 1-2 oz, jigged slow off the bottom. Soft plastics like 4-inch swimbaits on jigheads shine in the swirl.

Hit the hot spots: Railroad Bridge on the ebb for stripers tearin' bait, or East End near the mo's for tautog huggin' structure. Fish safe, watch them winds!
