I've watch the beach fishing on the Cape go downhill since about "99". There has still been some fish, right time right place, at night, but those days of bait all over the place and bass day after day in the same spot, constant fishing is over. I have still found some fish by, more moving around, fishing out of the way spots, more on the bay side were seal are less of a problem, small fish for the most part. The last two season I fished more based on weather, hard wind which pushed bait inshore and have done O.K. Thou I have to say R.I. has been more constant the last couple of years. Till they(the state and that will never happen) do something to keep the seal poplation in check the fishing is not going to get any better, I feel bad for tackle shops Blackbeard's, Nelson's as they watch the fishing go downhill and the business with it.
