When you've read and reread all your fishing books, check out Eric Jay Dolin's "Leviathan: The History of Whaling in America." There's a lot about whaling in early Massachusetts, and how it developed over time. I got it from the library.
If you love Cape Cod, try The Outermost House, by Henry Beston. He spent a year in a cottage on Nauset during the 1920s, and details the changing seasons. Some amazing stories of storms covering the beach with fish, and the early life saving/coast guard guys walking the beach 24/7 through the winter to watch for wrecks.
