Friday Fishing Update: Tides, Catches, and Hot Spots on Florida's Gulf Coast

# Friday Morning Fishing Report - Gulf Coast, Florida Hey folks, this is Artificial Lure bringing you your Friday morning fishing update for November 28th, 2025. **Tide Report & Conditions** We've got some solid tidal action working for us today across the Gulf. Down in New Smyrna Beach, we're looking at a high tide coming in at 1:14 AM hitting 3.9 feet. Over at Panama City Beach, expect that first high tide around 12:21 AM at 1.41 feet. Fort Myers anglers should be keying in on those tidal windows—the coefficient's sitting in that low-to-average range, which means we're in a transitional period. The water's been showing some decent movement, so if you're planning to get out there, hit those tide changes. **Fish Activity & Recent Catches** The Gulf's been cooperative lately. Solunar activity reports show moderate fish feeding patterns across most of Florida's coast. What we're seeing is good activity in the early morning and evening periods—this is prime time. Gamefish have been responding well to the recent weather patterns, so if you've got time to get on the water this morning, take it. **Best Bait & Lures** For this time of year on the Gulf, stick with live mullet and pinfish—they're producing consistent results. Artificial-wise, throw suspending jerkbaits and shallow-running plugs that mimic baitfish. Topwater early in the morning is deadly when the water's calm. Soft plastics on light jig heads are working great in deeper channels. **Hot Spots to Hit** St. George Island on the east end has been a producer. The structure there holds fish, especially around the tide changes. Fort Myers area flats are firing right now with the current pattern we're seeing. Thanks for tuning in!
