You are fishing the right tide for that area. The best fishing is from 2 hours before until two hours after low tide. So, based on my tide chart you have good tides there for Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights. Now, go buy yourself a dozen eels. Park in the parking lot in front of Chatham Light. Walk down the stairs and walk to your left up the beach until you come to the houses with the first big breakwall that protrudes out. Wade in front of that breakwall out to your waist or as far as you can stand it. Cast towards England and reel very slowly. You may find your eel will move towards your left even though the main current is running heavy to your right. You are in a big eddy and the stripers love it there. Slowly move towards your left down the beach to the other large breakwall. You can wade in front of this breakwall about 3/4's of the way out, now cast towards the channel marker. Good Luck and let us know how you do. I'll be there in August for my 9th season.
P.S. You may want to give Ballston a shot, it's about a 50 minute drive from Chatham. Fish the large bowl as you walk in and the points and bowls to your left and right as far as you can walk. Eels and needlefish are the ticket here.
