Outer Beaches

[Back Beach]

Find an exposed bar at low tide and wade out as far as you can. If there's deep water off the end of the bar(trough) connecting the beach hole to deeper water, remember where it is. Throw eels on top of the bar and let them tumble into the hole. Low incoming tide is good in areas like this. As the tide fills, move back off the bar and fish the hole. Do the opposite on the dropping tide. Have fun with the seals. I hear they're brutal. This used to be the best time of year out there for big fish around wellfleet. Things have changed alot, mostly for the worse.There is however,an outside chance of a couple fish eluding the seals, albeit temporarily.
One thing to remember about the mung is it gets worse as the tide falls(water contracts) and it sometimes disperses as the tide comes in.(water expands) People have always used mung as an excuse, but believe me its always been there and you can catch fish in it. Corners of holes might be socked in with the stuff at low tide, but very fishable from mid tide incoming up to high. Stick with eels. Plugs will definitly foul even if there's a little mung in the water. Eels will stay clean long enough to get a fish on.
