So it's all happening then. A friend of mine in the dead fish business predicted this a few weeks ago. He had heard a lot of guys were shifting to fishing for menhaden.
There's a 430 foot processing boat up in Fall River with several boats working the Bay, those are probably the boats that have joined Ark that #^^^^^^& saw. Usually those boats (in addition to smaller local boats) feed the processor squid and macks, but the fishing was slow this year, so they shifted to the menhaden weeks ago.
He also thought there could be more boats in the near future as well, if they're not already here. He was right...
