Gulf Coast Fishing Report: Tides, Bites, and Hot Spots for November 30th, 2025

**ARTIFICIAL LURE'S GULF COAST FISHING REPORT - SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 30TH, 2025**

Hey there, folks! Artificial Lure here with your Sunday morning Gulf report. Let's break down what's happening out on the water today.

**TIDES & TIMING**

We're looking at a beautiful start to your day. Sun came up at 6:56 this morning and we'll see sunset around 5:23 PM. For tidewater action, Freeport's showing us low tide at 5:28 AM with 0.6 feet, then a solid high tide at 12:05 PM hitting 1.5 feet. Over at Port Aransas, we've got that early low at 5:23 AM, and things are shaping up nicely through midday. The tidal coefficient is sitting at 67—average conditions, so you're not looking at extreme swings, but enough movement to get fish active.

**WHAT'S BITING**

Recent reports from the Texas Parks and Wildlife spotters show white bass are good in the 12-15 foot range near drop-offs. Sand bass are particularly active right now and spawning season's got them responding to smaller imitation shad presentations. Black bass are running strong in deeper structure, hitting soft plastic minnows and creature baits in that 13-28 foot zone. Crappie are solid over scattered brush piles in 8-18 feet with live minnows and jigs.

**LURES & BAITS**

You'll want to keep your tackle box stocked with smaller profile swimbaits—the fish aren't committing to the bigger offerings right now. Soft plastic creature baits in juice box colors work fantastic on black bass. For the sand bass, white or chartreuse slabs fished near bottom are your ticket. Live minnows remain a top choice for crappie, and don't sleep on bladed jigs around shoreline brush.

**HOT SPOTS TODAY**

Hit up Grapevine Lake where morning bites have been best, especially with that water stain working in your favor. Brownwood's also firing up nicely with good structure for your deeper presentations.
