What Used To Be......

The fish are still there we hammered them right off the point this past weekend for hours! 25-35# fish on massive schools of sandeeels. They've probably just learned to stay the hell away from the seals. Get rid of the seals and the fish will go in tighter.

Boat. Not very far from shore

Sounds like you got into some nice fish there Vic....but they have not been coming into surfcasting distance for quite some time. Sure there must be those moments......but it is certainly not like it used to be....not even close! I did my share of fishing down there when it was still pretty good......and I know the difference between then and now and it sucks bad.

I will also add that the Race from Hatches up to maybe Race Point beach does not seem to have the seal issues due to the way the water moves past there...the backside beaches from the Race to Nauset have a huge seal population as well as the area outside Wellfleet Harbor past LT's Island I am told. From Nauset to Chatham is out of control with seals.

As I said I understand there will be moments...and those guys (most of them) live there! You don't see people making the destination drive down there like 6/7 years ago! I used to drive down with my buddy after work, fish all night, catch a bunch of fish and drive home in the am and it was worth it!!! Not worth the time, money for gas and effort like it was back in the day!
