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.
Agreed generally on sandy beaches loaded up the spots where you find some clearer water are also areas with heavier current. Those subtle channels of fast water provide ambush points for bass.
