I am a true believer in the cycle theory...to a point. I think the large presence of seals is certainly a factor too. Mung.....I havent seen a year in the past 25 years that I have been going there that mung hasnt been around. Its noting new and I dont think thats the reason for the lack of fish. I DO worry about why I have not caught a single skate or flatfish while baitfishing in the last several years though. Not that I LIKE skates but 10 years ago you could fill a pick up in a night if you wanted too and now not even a one? Digs sandeels? forget it...

Is this all part of the big cycle? I hope so....and I hope its about through!
