Sean, Hi. Glad to hear you found some fish. Enjoyed the time we spend on the water even if we didn't run into many fish, at least you had the opportunity to see a fair amount of area. It only gets better as the weather and water heat up. Yes, i do think that the herring runs tend to concentrate the fish right now. We're still not seeing alot of bait in the water (unless I'm totally blind). But it has to improve in the next 2 weeks. Incidentially, I fished the beach late yesterday afternoon w/no success. But God the water looked good and I think with the way the flats have been carved out this year, we'll see some good fishing soon at the end of the street. Let me know if you plan to get up here again and w'll get down to Chatham in "Das Boot". allen
