Like JohnR said you find a beach clear of mung and you can usually find fish but sometimes you find the mung and you find fish. You are probably going to find some mung along most of the beaches this time of year the key is to find the ones that don't have so much they become unfishable. When you step on to a beach and find mung right in front of you make sure you walk to the left and right to see if the mung clears. You can walk 50 feet and go from wall to wall mung to fishable. Your best bet this time of year is to fish eels, as John also mentioned, for two reasons first the fish like them and second you pickup far less mung on an eel during the retrieve. If you pickup a little mung after a retrieve or two just pick it off and keep fishing. Fish the points and bowls of the beach (they are very subtle) making 8-10 casts and move a dozen steps. Look for deep troughs between the sand bars and the beach (there is one right in front of you as you walk on to Ballston). The sand bars will show themselves when the waves begin to break over them as the tide drops. Try Ballston (Pamet Rd) or Head of the Meadow fish the top of tide down and always look for drag marks on the path out to the parking areas. The drag marks will tell you there has been fish there lately. Don't wade into the water but stand up at the end of the wash. Fish the eel all the way in, many times the fish are just behind where the wave breaks. Also, rough water is good water. If you need to use a plug try a Pearl Bomber or Gibbs white stubby needlefish at first light. Good Luck.
