Slapshot, your closer to the truth than you know. Come down Cape in March and stand watch on the big beach from P-Town to Chatham and you will see the draggers close off the beach. They are looking for Herring staging outside the bays and waiting for the signs of longer sunlight, warmer water and the taste of thier natal waters to come to them. Whales know this too. Often they can be seen near shore along the back beach.
