Outer Cape Cod Beaches

[Water Treater]

Anyone know if the ocean beaches of Truro and Wellfleet are still plagued by mung weed? I'm planing to fish these beaches (at night) this week (October 22nd-25th) using the Hab's lures I purchased at auction to benefit John's widow Jessica and son John, Jr.

Any up-to-date info on MUNG conditions for the outer cape beaches would be appreciated. Thanks, guys.

The beaches are all pretty clean. The fishing is good but the catching all year has been worse then any year since they invented eels.

Clean from High Head to the race, but the mung could move into High Head quickly - there is a bunch trapped between the beach and the bar, and High Head has been dirty more often than not since July. As a general rule for the year, the further north you move the cleaner it gets.

Thanks, guys. I'll let you know if I catch any decent fish there this week.

i just got back from a 3 day trip to nantucket. i'm not sure if it's of any value, but the whole island was littered with seals. i covered alot of the coast, and they were everywhere!

Seals only eat sand eels - ask Audubon. And the ones on the Cape are friendly.
