Shark Fishing the Deep Blue
Fishermen are inexorably drawn to the sea and nowhere does saltwater fishing have a more storied past than off the coast of New England, where a once vast and seemingly limitless resource first attracted Old World settlers to the New World. Today, commercial fishermen share the sea with a now thriving sport fishery. Most sport anglers battle the beachfront’s pounding surf for striped bass or cruise the bays and inlets for mackerel and bluefish.
