One day last summer, one of my best clients,  John Clancy, brought his family for an afternoon trip. I’d heard the fishing off Monomoy, over by Chatham, was really hot, so we shot across 25 miles of water to get there only to find a slack tide. I put the kids ashore to blow off some steam til the tide came around,  and  by 5:00 pm the tide had turned and these patent angler’s were doubling up every pass with 40 inch trophy sized striped bass.
