Water Quality never dawned on me. Now that it has, I'm thinking outfall pipe in one way or the other. 1: dumping nutrients into the middle of Cape Cod Bay and attracting bait there. 2: dumping toxins and reducing bait. I'm leaning toward the nutrient side of the scale because I've not seen a lot of dead bait on shore. Saw Right Whales grubbing for large sandeels this past Easter Sunday within an honest stone's throw of the beach, now they're gone after a warm Summer. Sandeels ARE a mile or so off the beach tho, seen'em. The mung was a little longer and stringier than usual and came in force real fast. Who knows? I do know that I was mugged by seals twice this year and that they've learned to look for an easy meal when they see a rod and reel. Is a 1209 capable of throwing a .30 slug?
