Alex,I had the opportunity to fish the Chatham- Brewster area about 11-12 years ago. Couple of things- the Chatham Area boats will take you out to a drop off at their drop point and then you can walk sort of East towards mouth of the channel. In this area if you happened to stick a striper you might suddenly find yourself chumming for seals. If you see a lot of seals you might consider fishing somewhere else although the seals usually swim and feed where the fish are. North of Chatham are the flats inside the cape. I found public parking back in that area (see the attached map) couple of things to note if you wade inside the cape. First and most importantly take a compass. At the water's edge before you start waiting out shoot a bearing so that you know that a hundred eighty degrees from that bearing will get you back to shore. I would not depend totally on your phone. This is so when the fog rolls in you have some idea how to get back to shore. There is no crashing surf to follow the sound back to shore. Wading in the fog is a little disconcerting. You might consider also taking an inflatable PFD just in case. There is a six to eight foot tide in that part of the cape. You need to wade out at low water and you might have a 2 hour window to fish.--BrewsterBrewster, MA 02631Bruce Mathews

Subject: Re: {Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} June 15-20 Chatham MA--One thing to consider on the Cape is beach access. Many beaches are residents only. Most of the others are ~$20 to park. My experience is mainly mid Cape (town of Barnstable and Yarmouth).You generally can't fish at most of the beaches if they're touristy, so find whatever backwoods areas you can, or plan for dawn and dusk if you hit some of the more populated areas. But, inlets and most jetties will generally be ok if you have to fish during the day - just may not be a ton of action.If you're staying in Chatham, I don't recommend Sandwich. You're in peak tourist season, and that drive could take WAY longer than Google Maps tells you now.On Fri, Jun 1, 2018, 11:26 AM Alexander Vu <alexander.vu@gmail.com> wrote:--Hi Shad,When you go there, would you mind sending back some intel for Brewster flats, Orleans and Sandwhich?

Subject: Re: {Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} June 15-20 Chatham MAHey Alex, et al,--Well, I haven't been there...yet. I am going there for the first time next week and hope to wade fish Monomoy myself.I did find a shuttle service to North Monomoy for $30 http://outermostharbor.com/services/beach-shuttle/. They take you out in the morning and pick you up at 4:30 pm. Hopefully I will have a Monomoy report for you in a week.I too am interested in advice on wading the Brewster flats, so thanks to all for the info.Also, can anyone steer me to a good night fishing spot?Thanks for the help, Stevie
