Don't laugh but I mentioned the same idea last year about buying property in Middleboro. Let's smother the land owner along the river by the herring run and buy some land, put up some sheds and "take hostage any herring swimming by."

Last year in one of the Cape Cod Real Estate books a realtor had land advertised for sale and the picture showed a stream with a herring ladder. I kid you not. I immediately called the office and basically told them I'd buy it and asked how much. The realtor laughed when I told him I wanted it for the access to the run and stated several other fisherman had already called for the same reason. True story.
