Fishing Outflows on the Incoming....

Frank Daignault used to say about inlets-" garbage in, garbage out". Meaning- bait is moving in or out of inlets all of the time as long as the tide is moving. I generally like the drop while fishing inlets but have found some great fishing on the incoming at a some of the ones I fish. For example, The Narrow river mouth is excellent on the "bump" and the start of the incoming. The Short Wall is also excellent at the same stages of tide. I don't know where you fish, but don't be afraid to fish any inlet on incoming water. You may be pleasantly surprised!

Nauset Inlet sets up perfectly on the incoming. but then you have the seals..

I fish hard running inlet in DE. I know it is not local but lots of inlets have similar properties right? Anyway, it can fish great on both tides. On the incoming tide the water sweeps horizontally across the shallow reef in front of the tip of the jetty and falls off into the deep water of the inlet. One of the best plugs that fishes well deep in a turbulent sweeping current that all guys carry out on to that jetty is a Mirrolure 72M. Of course darters and jigs work well too.
