If you are fishing the outer Cape beaches (Truro and Wellfleet in particular) I'd appreciate a Mung weed report. I'll be there this weekend and next week and I'd like to know if the beaches are (yet) fishable. Thanks, guys.

It can change from day to day....but as of last Saturday (Oct. 1?) it was a mix of very fishable, fairly fishable, to unfishable depending on the spot.

RI has 3 times the guys fishing it than last year. where did all these guys come from??? I see lots of mass plates and CT plates, even quite a few NJ plates every where i go. I dont mind the company, but it has been a shock to everyone around here..

I will often ask guys whey they're driving so far and i usually get 3 answers about their stomping grounds back home..

a- sucks

b- has no access

c- is really hard to fish

Ri aint what it used to be thats for sure..

21 trucks at a breachway, 15 guys at the mouth of a river mouth.... its like a friggn circus :mad:

my comment wasnt directed directly at slip, but at all the mass guys talking up RI all the time.

it wasn't about the mung that I edited out ya see.

and besides, once the guy who asked gets out there, he'll see for himself how the mung is just like the rest of us do.


Eben, you sound bitter. have a beer. Like you never spoke about your catching on the net :rollem:


no need to take things too serious folks, it's only the internet.
fish where you want to, no need to listen to some writing on a message board

if this thread goes downhill, it will be cut off at the knees so play nice.

all of you guys are certianly welcome. infact, i always help anyone out who asks me whats going on...

I think i was venting. :bl:

my comments are mostly geared to the guys who set up shop in a prime spot and start chunking and crack open a six pack, then leave thier cans behind. The guys who are not really that intune with surfcasting and just wnat to go out fishing for a night. they have their benny's rod and thier white ankleboots... The guys who go clog up the tip of a breachway in sneakers and 8 foot ugly sticks with reels that buckle under a 9 lb schoolie.....
I dont mean to judge, but these are the guys who get places shut down... the guys bringing in beer, bait, sandwiches, lanterns, stereos...

but as kippy said, i am pretty grumpy lately. theres just too many people fishing now i guess.. I can no longer go down to a few of my favorite spots and enjoy the solitude.......

Rattboy- yoru welcome anytime, you know that :huh:

All of you guys are upstanding knowegable surfcasers and i would happily fish with any of you any day. well, maybe not all of you :hihi:

did i say i was venting????

Man, now you can't even ask about water conditions without people getting pissy...Some people aren't lucky enough to live 10 minutes or even an hour from the water and with the price at the pumps who wants the blow $ just to find beaches munged up?

Johnny, read his post. He will be there for a week starting this weekend. It's not like he's thinking of going but won't go if the beaches have mung. And besides, the mung changes day to day, you should know that since you were just out there last week. :huh: Was I getting pissy? I feel for you guys that travel great distances, I put gas in my truck also at 3 bucks a gallon.
I don't like finding them munged up any more than the next guy.

The mung stretches from Chatham to Provincetown, how's that for a report? :spin:
why do you think I go to the ditch lately :D

People can ask any question they want to, doesn't mean they'll get the answer they want to.

Johnny, I gotta tell ya... In a nutshell....

Mung moves, kinda like fish have tails.

Any given location, from Wood End, to Woods Hole,(well, more like Monomy, but they both had wood in them ;) ) has both, (mung & fish) at any given time... I can drive to the closest beach near me, down here, and find a stretch of mung so thick and disgusting, that all ya wanna do is puke.

Now, instead of being disgusted and going home, flip a coin, heads, go left, tails go right, out of the lot, chances are you go one or two towns north, or south,,, bingo.... No Mung !, maybe you've never fished that location, and it's now your new "spot"... or, because this is a 50/50 chance, it's loaded to the scuppers with mung... if so, move on young man, hit another locale.... same with fish, it's all "Run & Gun" nowadays.. No Guarantees, there will be fish, or mung, or lack thereof.

Then again, I can drive back to a locale that had mung at say noon... go back at 8PM... WTF.. no mung... take note, was there a wind change?, obviously a tide change... change in wave action?, I know I don't have to tell you, you've been around, it's like chasing fish or bait, ya gotta watch the variables, they apply to that weedy chit too...

I'd love to have a crystal ball for ya, but I can't, love to save ya that 30-40 bucks in gas..
You could ask : "Any Mung right now?"... I could drive down, look, come back and say "All Clear"... by the time you got here, it would probably be thicker than snot, and you'd think I was a lyin' sumbitch...(I know, ya probably already do :D)
see what I'm trying to say? :huh:

Same with fish reports.. they could be killing large at "X" right now.. tomorrow night, only large, is the skunk...........

The only way to possibly get an on the spot mung report would be to take your laptop to the beach and report hour to hour.

Last weekend the mung stayed in with the low tide and went out with the high tide. Usually opposite.

It's not predictable when it's there and when it won't be. All you can do is take the chance, go and hope it's fishable. Just go knowing that there's a good chance it'll be mungy. But you can always find water you can fish, sometimes it takes a little looking.

There, that was nice right? I travel form Beantown to East Beach to the Inlaws house as much as possible from 9/1 to november. Have done it for the past few years. I keep a 6er in a cooler in the trunk and have a beer when taking off the waders, I also smoke butts, a doobie every once in a while, and generally really enjoy myself. I also take out other peoples trash, and try not to piss anyone off. I do however ask other guys I see "hey hows the action" I also say "hello" or "how are you" sorry if this is an issue for you.
But I have never asked RI guys permission to do this. So here it is. Thanks very much in advance.
If you would like to rumble lets meet in the parking lot at the breachway.....
See you tonight.

Hey wait a minute, I wear the white boots! I wear them because the soles don't leave scuff marks when boat fishing! Ofcourse it is true that I would just be considered a novice surf/plug fisherman.

On another note, when fishing the canal early am this week, myself and a SB member witnessed quite a bit of trash left by a big group of night fisherman who were still there when we arrived but left soon afterwards. These were not newbies, novice fishermen, or anybody with equiptment from benny's. These were the guys that keep tackle shops in business.

Please don't take this the wrong way, I am not trying to suggest that this is the mo of
most fishermen. I just think that too often posts on this site point to newbie fishermen, (a place we have all been at one time), for all the problems associated with fishing. I don't believe that respect for others, the environment, etc.... has anything to do with fishing, it is an attitude/disposition we either choose to apply or not.

Great post and it is true! Went to a "spot" at noon with no $hit and came back at night with the place so bad the "fish catching device" (dont want to be too specific) came back dry!

Sometimes, in the dead of night. When the fog is thick, and the only thing you can hear over the pounding of the surf, is the pounding of your heart beat. Something will urge you to look to the left. Even though you know the soup is so thick you could cut it with a knife, and you couldn't see your own Rah-rah if you were taking a piss. Thats when it will happen. Thats when all the mysteries will unfold, and answers will come pouring in like a warm May rain. Thats when you will finally come to the realization that questions are merely answers that haven't come, and the dawn of man is in rapid reverse. Look at NIB's avatar. Picture him in the mung! My brother has man boobs. Stick the two of them together, add a couple of Bassmasters missing teeth. This is the recipe for true beauty my friends. And it is not always in the eye of the beholder. Sometimes the beholder has no hands..

Amen Mac, Eben seems like a nice guy and I am sure he puts his time in. But he has yet to realize that loose lips sink ships/.We have p.m.'z but he can't resist braggin'.Funny how he can't understand why there are so many people when his posts account for a good part of the numbers.Like BM who used to squack and now complains they don't seem to grasp the amount of people that follow this crap.If these guys wanted to fish alone they would not be trying to get famous on the board.Each has a lot to offer as far as experience and knowledge but it gets overshadowed by patting themselves on the back.

wanting to be famous?? what are you smoking. Excuse me for contributing. what do you contribute besides criticizing, trolling and name dropping? Guess what I am a nice guy, but sadly you will never see that side of me. This board was a pretty happy place until you showed up seadangles.. to be truthful, I know more than one person who wont post anymore because of the negative attacks that come out of your keyboard and i am surprised JohnR hasnt kicked your negative but right out of here.


Do you guys think i post everytime i catch??? no. Do you think i post about when others who i fish with are cathing? no. Rarely do i post about catching, but is only when i find it interesting to share, like back to back personal bests, and getting hooks straightened. Trust me, i have had some great nights and keep it all very quiet.

excuse me.. i have a tide to catch and they will be there. They always are. :bl: :spin:
