Mung can be a pain from the surf no doubt but it moves around with the tide and if you're patient it can be mitigated. The stuff has been out there since the beginning of time thus its always been present to some degree.

I can tell you all the years I fished from a small 12' aluminum boat out there the mung was what we looked for as it provided cover for the fish. Rarely did you catch a fish if mung wasn't present, believe it or not. From the shore its a bit different but you can still find holes in the mung patches if you keep walking along and sometimes you nail the fish right on the edges.

Seals are a different story but I feel people simply throw seals and mung as lazyman's excuses for not making the effort to fish out there. Like the mung, seals move to other places at times, leaving opportunity for the committed.

It's not the bait
At the end of your line
It's the fishing hole
Where all the fish is blind
