Do the opposite on the dropping tide. Have fun with the seals. I hear they're brutal. This used to be the best time of year out there for big fish around wellfleet. Things have changed alot, mostly for the worse.There is however,an outside chance of a couple fish eluding the seals, albeit temporarily.
One thing to remember about the mung is it gets worse as the tide falls(water contracts) and it sometimes disperses as the tide comes in.(water expands) People have always used mung as an excuse, but believe me its always been there and you can catch fish in it. Corners of holes might be socked in with the stuff at low tide, but very fishable from mid tide incoming up to high. Stick with eels. Plugs will definitly foul even if there's a little mung in the water. Eels will stay clean long enough to get a fish on.

Three things: 1. Fish the inside and corners of that bowl as depicted on the LOW TIDE.
2. Fish a bayside beach from Wellfleet to Truro, trust me.
3. Eels are bait, bait is easy, be a real man and fish a plug, especially a needlefish, try white, or yellow, moons coming up.
