this area at one time or another, but only one or two are regular users, the 

 others are lobster boats which occasionally drag. 



Fishable ground is shown in Fig. F-ll . One fisherman reported that he 

 formerly crossed the old dump site, but stopped after catching construction 

 stone in his net. 



Blueback herring are caught in this area in the fall when they are present 

 in the region (not 1977, 1978). 



The most important sport fishing areas are near the Race. The target 

 species (blue fish and stripped bass) are probably little effected by spoil 

 disposal since they normally enter turbid estuaries. 



The rocky extension of Seaflower Reef is a site of tautog fishing. Some 

 bottom fishing for flounders is carried out a mile N.M. of the dump site by 

 party boats. Recently a small boat sport fishery for summer flounder has de- 

 veloped around the perimeter of the spoil mound.
