Spring Brings Flatfish Run to Bristol Harbor
The piece notes springtime influx of fishermen to Bristol Harbor from Attleboro and nearby towns as flatfish appear near the shoreline. Anglers use two hooks per line, two poles, and clamworm bait to catch mostly sub one pound fish within 25 feet of shore. Fishermen expect the run to last until June when tautog arrive, while mackerel comparisons are drawn to autumns. Local figures like Joseph Arruda comment on fame and taste, with a neighbor predicting many fresh dinners tonight.
