I've fished the breachways early on the incoming with bucktails - particularly in May - and done well.

Good question. I used to fish chatham inlet alot on the top hour of the incoming. Tide flow would be just about stopped and fish would be active most times. If you can get out on a point that has an eddy behind it with deep water (like many spots on the canal do) there's no reason to belive it won't work elsewhere. I would target the slack tide. Charlestown breach fishes well at slack high too in addition to the full incoming tide. As with any spot though, you have to know the particulars of each place to get the occasional payoff.

I have had good luck on the incoming (about 2 hrs. before hi) at the river on the other side of E rocks. I have always wanted to try the jetty at the mouth of the river, but it has been jammed with bait fishing guys.

My best luck has been the outgoing on the sandbar. Good luck Kevin.

I agree with all the above, in fact there is one particular inlet I fish a lot on the Cape that seems to fish better on the outgoing depending on time of year. I make the mistake all the time of overthinking. If there is bait and current, there will be fish. The best part about trying it a few times is that when it works you will have a new spot on a new tide cycle that you have confidence in.
