Re: {Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} June 15-20 Chatham MA

Hey Alex,

Well, I had fun on the Cape of Cod but did not take the shuttle out to North Monomoy Island.  Here is an SOL thread discussing it http://www.stripersonline.com/surftalk/topic/730179-monomoy-shuttle/

I did fish the south side, Amos Point,  on Morris Island. This is an easy walk from the Monomoy Refuge parking lot and you can go all the way to Harding Point.  There are plenty of good public beach between Chatham and Harwich on the south shore also.   Fish mid-tide with lots of current flow along the shore or ....in and out of the creeks and estuaries.  Also, any rocky point or jetty is good structure.

 

Brewster Flats is so massive as to be intimidating but there are large fish there.  The speed of the incoming tide is challenging so don't get stuck out there.  Fish are Tough to find on foot so we fished it with a guide.  Guys in our group recommend Will Raye also...or consider Alex thru the Black Eel shop in Dennis.  The sight fishing requires lots of sunshine for good visibility.

I caught wads of schoolies 14-20 inches on an olive clouser, also pale pink is good.  I got some large fish on a small green crab pattern slowly twitched on the bottom.  Also got into some fun popper action for schoolies and and try a gurgler too with a floating line.  The big fish can rip off a 100 yard run so make sure your backing is not tangled. A ten pounder can really zip in shallow water,

A clear intermediate line with a long sink tip or head system on an 8/9 wgt is just about right.  You'll make lots of long casts and adding 10 feet multiplies your efficiency.  Use stout flouro tippet, 20lb or 16 lb.

I recommend the lobster rolls at the  Sesuit Harbor Cafe,  mmmmmmm.    https://sesuit-harbor-cafe.com/
