We have a nice set of them, living on coney ledge, just outside salem harbor. I counted 11 of them sunning themselves about a week ago during low tide on the rocks. They are pounding the big herring/mackeral schools we have had in the harbor all summer. very skitterish, although one day, i was able to get 3 near the boat by ch#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&g live and fresh dead mackeral (leftover unused bait, due to NF catching all the big fish in the area). I know guys hate them, but i look at it as the nearshore waters getting healthier (herring) potentially due to regulation.
