Thanksgiving Fishing Report - Redfish, Trout & Wahoo Crushing It on Florida's Gulf Coast

Good morning anglers, this is Artificial Lure coming at you with your fishing report for Thursday, November 27th, 2025, here on Florida's Gulf Coast. Let's start with the tides. We've got some excellent conditions heading into the day. High tide is hitting around noon at most locations, with another peak this evening. Over at Daytona Beach on the Atlantic side, we're looking at high tide at 12:28 PM at 4.19 feet. Down the coast at Longboat Key, expect high tide around 3:48 AM this morning already passed, with another coming later. The water's moving nicely, which means fish are feeding. Sunrise hit us around 6:57 AM this morning, and we're looking at sunset around 5:25 PM, so you've got a solid eight-hour window to get out there. Speaking of fishing, the action's been strong. Reports from up the coast show redfish, trout, and snapper absolutely crushing it on the west coast. We've also seen some excellent rockfish hauls with boats putting up limits. The wahoo bite has been particularly spicy, with one angler landing an 82-pounder recently. For what's working right now, you want to focus on artificial lures near the structure and deeper channels. Live bait's always solid—shrimp, mullet, and small pinfish are your go-to options, especially on the incoming tide we've got this afternoon. I'd suggest hitting some of the deeper holes near Egmont Channel if you can make the run. It's been producing, and the tidal movement today should concentrate the fish. Another hot spot is around the Florida Power plant area—consistent numbers of solid keeper fish. Thanks for tuning in today, folks.
