Thanks for advice Oakley, and you are right... the heat is speeding them up and the first scapes tips were spotted this morning.
So... they'll probably be ready to pick in a week or week and a half if I let them curl the more, which is still a full month before the wedding.
First time ever wishing something was later!
I suppose I should at least water generously to keep them as tender as possible in this dry heat.
I don't have a boat and am not getting my cod.
My other bro and SIL just arrived and they have a sailboat but for some reason don't fish.
It will take them a week to get it in the water anyway.
Caplin are rolling in Middle Cove too and probably (usually) at St. Philips beach a week later, I don't know if I will even get any of those. Whoops cranky moment.
And BS for sure, I may not go fishing but I'll be surprised if no caplin turn up at my door.
