The fishing can be really good right below Chatham Lighthouse. Park in the lot at the overlook and walk down the stairs. The place is best fished on the last 3 hours of the outgoing. You can either go to the right towards the cut or to the left towards the rip rap wall. Most people go toward the cut, but work the area to the left before making the hike. A 1-2 oz needlefish with teaser will get you all the schoolies you want, but if you want to target larger fish, use eels. Check the shallows as you wade at night for sand eels. Fishing where they are is as good a bet as any. Your 8 ft rod will handle most fish here with ease. This place is especially good with an easterly wind or during storms.
