Biding our time until the Big Feed
By MOLLY BENJAMIN
Things are better than last week, encouraging even. But I won't tell you to drop everything and get to the beach. Not yet, though every single true Cape Codder is waiting, and hoping, for the Big Feed to start happening.
I mean, what does Dame Nature need to do? Run a ''Pogies! Half-Price!'' sale?
Bait is abundant. Food, baby, food, and our migratory gamefish know they'll need to bulk up before beginning their 1,000-mile swim to points south.
(You see, they are far too impatient to put up with all the nonsense at airports these days. So they hoof it - well, fin it - instead. It's true, it's true.)
Water temperatures remain extraordinarily warm. This is October, ya know, and it's 61, 62 degrees? Unheard of. This probably links right up with why they aren't grouping up and feeding inshore like teenagers - yet."
This pic shows what is all over my beach

another week or so.. me thinks, is when the fish might move inshore
