mostra di più### Tidal Report
Today, the high tide in the Cape Cod Canal is at 8:47 AM and 9:14 PM, with low tides at 2:33 AM and 3:00 PM. These tidal shifts can significantly impact fish activity, so plan your fishing trips accordingly.
### Weather
The weather forecast shows highs in the 50s and 60s, but be prepared for blustery winds that can shift directions daily. Gusts may reach over 30 knots, making it essential to choose protected areas or be ready to adapt.
### Sunrise and Sunset
Sunrise is at 6:57 AM, and sunset will be at 5:33 PM, giving you ample daylight to fish.
### Fish Activity
Striped bass fishing remains good in the Canal, although the fish are quite picky. Anglers have been using heavier epoxy jigs and smaller pencils in the 2- to 4-ounce range to mimic the prevalent peanut bunker and silversides. Bonito are still present but are thinning out, and you might catch a few while targeting bass or bluefish with epoxy jigs.
### Types and Amounts of Fish
Bass fishing has been consistent, with some well-over-slot fish being caught. However, the typical large schools of breaking fish have not yet appeared. Bonito and albies are still around but are becoming less abundant. Tautog fishing has been good, especially with the recent increase in the catch limit to 5 fish per angler starting October 15.
### Best Lures and Bait
For striped bass, epoxy jigs, smaller pencil poppers, and lures like the 7-inch Left Eye Lure Wacky Mac pencil and the white Outcast jig have been effective. For tautog, green crabs are the go-to bait.
### Hot Spots
The west end of the Cape Cod Canal has been fishing well in the morning, with a good amount of fish coming up. The east end, particularly around the pier, has also seen some action. Blind fishing in likely areas and cutting a drift to spot subtle albie activity can also yield success.
In summary, the Cape Cod Canal offers good fall fishing opportunities despite the challenging weather. Focus on the west and east ends, use the right lures and bait, and be prepared to adapt to the changing conditions.
