At least on the Capes beaches I don't think it is a matter of bait being pushed off shore. It the years when I was lucky enough to have had better fishing then I could have dreamed there was not a lot of bait along the beaches. At least not more or less then now.

The fish that I cleaned would sometimes have a few sand eels inside. Sometimes a squid. Some herring, small macks but it was not like the fish were stuffed, feeding like crazy. I would have nights where you would be catching large fish every cast but when you cleaned the fish they were empty. Every article you read said the fish were starving.

I came to the conclusion that the fish would be 0.50-2 miles out during the day and move inshore for safety at night. It took the fish a couple of years to figure it out but with the seals it was not safe inshore anymore. Unfortunately it is not going to change.
