I have fished there numerous times. Fish the mouth on a tide change. You can fly fish or gear fish (Spoons / Spinners / small Buzz Bombs).

Chapman is a class A pink fishery. As C-pin said fish the tide change any of the standard pink flies will work.

Morning rising tide is the best.  For me anyways.  : )   Have fun!!
