Who in the hell was Mother Carey anyway?

Is she possibly any relation to Aunt Carrie?

Has anybody ever eaten one of the little birds and do they taste anything like chicken? Or more like plover?

If they're really least terns why are they the least?

Jeez, there's gotta be another question in there some where...

	"There is no royal road to this heavy surf-fishing. With all the appliances for comfort experience can suggest, there is a certain amount of hard work to be done and exposure to be bourne as a part of the price of success." From "Striped Bass," Scribner's Magazine, 1881.
