"Once the guy who asks gets out there, he'll see like the rest of us do"

Man, now you can't even ask about water conditions without people getting pissy...Some people aren't lucky enough to live 10 minutes or even an hour from the water and with the price at the pumps who wants the blow $ just to find beaches munged up?

Johnny, read his post. He will be there for a week starting this weekend. It's not like he's thinking of going but won't go if the beaches have mung. And besides, the mung changes day to day, you should know that since you were just out there last week.

Was I getting pissy? I feel for you guys that travel great distances, I put gas in my truck also at 3 bucks a gallon.
I don't like finding them munged up any more than the next guy.

The mung stretches from Chatham to Provincetown, how's that for a report?

why do you think I go to the ditch lately

People can ask any question they want to, doesn't mean they'll get the answer they want to.

Johnny, I gotta tell ya... In a nutshell....

Mung moves, kinda like fish have tails.

Any given location, from Wood End, to Woods Hole,(well, more like Monomy, but they both had wood in them

) has both, (mung & fish) at any given time... I can drive to the closest beach near me, down here, and find a stretch of mung so thick and disgusting, that all ya wanna do is puke.

Now, instead of being disgusted and going home, flip a coin, heads, go left, tails go right, out of the lot, chances are you go one or two towns north, or south,,, bingo.... No Mung !, maybe you've never fished that location, and it's now your new "spot"... or, because this is a 50/50 chance, it's loaded to the scuppers with mung... if so, move on young man, hit another locale.... same with fish, it's all "Run & Gun" nowadays.. No Guarantees, there will be fish, or mung, or lack thereof.

Then again, I can drive back to a locale that had mung at say noon... go back at 8PM... WTF.. no mung... take note, was there a wind change?, obviously a tide change... change in wave action?, I know I don't have to tell you, you've been around, it's like chasing fish or bait, ya gotta watch the variables, they apply to that weedy chit too...

I'd love to have a crystal ball for ya, but I can't, love to save ya that 30-40 bucks in gas..
You could ask : "Any Mung right now?"... I could drive down, look, come back and say "All Clear"... by the time you got here, it would probably be thicker than snot, and you'd think I was a lyin' sumbitch...(I know, ya probably already do

)
see what I'm trying to say?

Same with fish reports.. they could be killing large at "X" right now.. tomorrow night, only large, is the skunk...........

Great post and it is true! Went to a "spot" at noon with no $hit and came back at night with the place so bad the "fish catching device" (dont want to be too specific) came back dry!

mung and eggs huh? sounds tasty. seriously though, I've read that seaweed is incredibly healthy to eat, so if you get skunked, load up on the seaweed for a nice meal!

Sometimes, in the dead of night. When the fog is thick, and the only thing you can hear over the pounding of the surf, is the pounding of your heart beat. Something will urge you to look to the left. Even though you know the soup is so thick you could cut it with a knife, and you couldn't see your own Rah-rah if you were taking a piss. Thats when it will happen. Thats when all the mysteries will unfold, and answers will come pouring in like a warm May rain. Thats when you will finally come to the realization that questions are merely answers that haven't come, and the dawn of man is in rapid reverse. Look at NIB's avatar. Picture him in the mung! My brother has man boobs. Stick the two of them together, add a couple of Bassmasters missing teeth. This is the recipe for true beauty my friends. And it is not always in the eye of the beholder. Sometimes the beholder has no hands..

can I have some of whatever it is that you got??

CapeDawg · 10-06-2005, 09:27 PM

The only way to possibly get an on the spot mung report would be to take your laptop to the beach and report hour to hour.

Last weekend the mung stayed in with the low tide and went out with the high tide. Usually opposite.

It's not predictable when it's there and when it won't be. All you can do is take the chance, go and hope it's fishable. Just go knowing that there's a good chance it'll be mungy. But you can always find water you can fish, sometimes it takes a little looking.

No munnnng at PI t'day just FISH !! Maybe I can draw an XX to show you where to stand and another to show you where to cast! He HE >

There, that was nice right? I travel form Beantown to East Beach to the Inlaws house as much as possible from 9/1 to november. Have done it for the past few years. I keep a 6er in a cooler in the trunk and have a beer when taking off the waders, I also smoke butts, a doobie every once in a while, and generally really enjoy myself. I also take out other peoples trash, and try not to piss anyone off. I do however ask other guys I see "hey hows the action" I also say "hello" or "how are you" sorry if this is an issue for you.
But I have never asked RI guys permission to do this. So here it is. Thanks very much in advance.
If you would like to rumble lets meet in the parking lot at the breachway.....
See you tonight.
