...York and Los Angeles, they had seen things like it, but nothing quite the same. Actors and actresses not only spoke their lines but narrated their actions, too. "The fisherman went back to the seashore and called out for the flounder," the fisherman said as he went back to the seashore and called out for the flounder. Just a small bunch of actors handling some of the oldest stuff in the world and changing roles as quickly as the lights dimmed and came back...
...first starring role-and various fellow players-four years ago in Jaws. Since then it's been mostly downstream for the studio fish: Jaws II, a bummer; a swim-on in a TV series; contract work in a pool on Universal's back lot eating an ersatz fisherman whenever a tour train went by.

It is still as shallow as nine feet in parts, and 300 feet at its deepest; one fisherman's tale has it that a ship's crew was able to play baseball on a shoal after a storm. The Gulf Stream and the Labrador Current converge at the site and circulate a hearty brew of nutrients on which plankton thrive and proliferate. Fish in turn feed...
