Atlantic Coast Fishing Report for Nov 28, 2025: Bundle Up for Windy Conditions, but Find Shelter for Redfish, Trout, and Flounder

# Friday Morning Fishing Report - November 28th, 2025

Mornin' folks, this is Artificial Lure with your Atlantic Coast fishing report for today, November 28th.

Let's start with the tides. If you're heading out to Bar Harbor or the surrounding waters, you've got high tide at 3:57 AM and low tide at 10:04 AM. That's prime time if you're an early riser. Over at Atlantic Heights in the Piscataqua River, high tide's already passed at 4:06 AM, with low tide around 9:52 AM. The sun's comin' up around 6:50 AM and settin' early at around 4:00 PM, so make your moves count today.

Weather-wise, you better bundle up. Small craft advisories are in effect through this morning along the coastal waters from Cape Elizabeth down to the Merrimack River. We're looking at southwesterly winds picking up through the afternoon, gusting to 40 knots in some spots. Seas are running 5 to 8 feet. If you're heading out, stick to protected waters or wait until conditions settle.

Now here's what's been happenin' on the water. The striped bass are still movin' along the Jersey Shore and Delaware River areas—folks are havin' success with bigger soft plastics and traditional swim baits. Up here in Maine, winter skate season wrapped up in November, but spiny dogfish are still around through October, so there's definitely bottom activity happening. Redfish, speckled trout, and flounder remain the most sought-after species up and down the coast.

For your gear, stick with classic swim baits like the Lit'l Fishie or go with soft plastics in natural colors. If you're bottom fishing, herring and mackerel are your bread and butter for bait.

Hit up any of the rocky inlets around Boothbay Harbor or the deeper channels near Bar Harbor. The protected coves near Frenchman Bay are solid bets too given today's weather.

Stay safe out there and respect these conditions. Thanks for tuning in and remember to subscribe.
