# Artificial Lure's North Carolina Fishing Report Hey folks, Artificial Lure here with your Sunday morning fishing report for November 30th, 2025 around the Atlantic Ocean waters of North Carolina. Let's talk tides first. We're looking at some moderate tidal movement today with maximum high tides reaching around 7.2 feet and lows hitting negative 1.6 feet in areas like Oak Island. The tide is shifting throughout the day, so plan your trips accordingly if you're heading out to the beach or inlets. Weather-wise, high pressure is sliding offshore, which should give us some decent conditions. Sunrise came early this morning, and we've got decent daylight to work with before the sun drops. Now for the fishing—and this is where it gets interesting. We're in the tail end of the fall run, and striped bass activity has been spotty along the Jersey shore, but here in North Carolina we're still seeing opportunities. The fall migration is winding down, but dedicated anglers are still connecting with fish. For your tackle, stick with the classics that work in these waters. Cut mullet remains your go-to bait for surf fishing—proven and effective. If you're working inshore, topwater plugs like Strike King Sexy Dawg Hard Knocks in bone or Carolina chrome patterns will get hits on stripers and drum. Drop-shots with six-inch worms work great for bottom structure too. As for hot spots, head down to **Oak Island** where you've got solid tidal movement and plenty of structure. The inlets around **Lockwoods Folly** are also producing. Federal Point area is worth checking out if you want to mix it up. Recent reports show sheepshead activity in coastal waters—those fish with the wild teeth. Fun to catch and good eating if you keep 'em. Get out there and tight lines, folks.
