Wilmington Fishing Report - Redfish, Trout, and Tides on a Late November Day

# Artificial Lure's Fishing Report - November 30, 2025

Well hey there, folks. This is Artificial Lure coming to you live with your Sunday morning fishing report for the Wilmington area. Let me tell you, today's shaping up to be a decent day to get out on the water.

First things first - the tides. We've got a high tide rolling in at 2:24 AM this morning, sitting at about 4.1 feet. Your next low tide comes around mid-morning, and then you're looking at another push of water coming through later in the afternoon. That means you've got some good movement happening right now, which is exactly what the fish like to see.

Weather-wise, we're looking partly cloudy conditions today with highs pushing up to around 70 degrees and lows settling back to 46 degrees later this evening. Nothing crazy, just your typical late November fishing day here in Wilmington.

Now, here's where it gets interesting. The fish have been cooperating in these waters. If you're chasing redfish and speckled trout around the flats and in the rivers, focus on areas with good current flow - especially around the Cape Fear River system and Old Topsail Creek. These spots are hotspots this time of year.

For your tackle box, I'd recommend bringing fresh mullet and shrimp if you're working the deeper channels. The specs and reds are hitting both right now. If you're throwing artificials, DON'T sleep on soft plastics in natural colors - whites, grays, and browns are doing the heavy lifting this season. Topwater early and late is always solid too.

One more thing - the bite isn't going to be on fire today, but the tidal movement we've got is solid, so get out there and work it. Check out the flats around Wrightsville Beach area and down toward Carolina Beach. Both are producing consistent action.

Thanks for tuning in, folks. Make sure you subscribe for more reports like this one.
