Trophy homes, overdevelopment and the consequences thereof. Nitrogen loading into the wetlands from chemical lawn care sprays, affecting bays and marshes, mung, seals and plovers. All the bait and bass for that matter hanging just offshore but no one I know can cast 3/4 of a mile to reach them.
Now if you have a skiff that doesn't use a lot of fuel you can catch all the fish you want. We have some flashbacks to the "good ol days" in Mid September to November on the beach but they are few and far in between. I was lucky enough to get in on several last year but it ain't what it was.
The upper Cape to Mid cape is your best bet nowadays.
