Fishing the Cape Cod Canal can be one of the most thrilling Fishing experiences of your life or one of the most frustrating.  Knowing exactly where the best fishing holes are, what bait to use, what time to fish, and the time of year to fish each species makes all the difference.

The Map contains all this information plus many best kept secret fishing spots, so accurately identified that results are all but certain.

Charlie's Cape Cod Canal Fishing Timetable is based on the times of slack tides as provided by the U.S. Army Corp. of Engineers for the full calendar year 2008. However, these have been advanced by approximately 1 hour and converted to Eastern Standard time which allows the fisherman a cushion for time of arrival and also reduces any conversion errors.

Charlie's Fishing Timetable has proven to be very accurate and certainly takes the guesswork out of what the 4 best times of each day are to start fishing. The time table "2008" is good from April 1st through November 31st.

Hope you have a Great Fishing Season!   Charlie.

If you haven't already discovered our weather and water condition links, please do.  Simply click the appropriate links in the left hand margin to see the current weather, forecast, and water conditions, or view the canal  webcams located at the east and west ends. 

For boat or surf fishing, check the buoy information and weather forecast for where you're going and see what they're reporting.  It is very helpful to cross check the forecast with the near real time data coming from the buoys.  The buoys tell the present conditions and the forecast tells you what to expect.  If it's close to when you're going fishing, the two should be converging.    This site is for YOU, so please tell your friends and come back often!
