This is one of many blocks aboard the Plan B, a former tuna seiner that is being converted to a herring seiner by the folks at Cape Seafood on the State Fish Pier. The reason they are converting the Plan B is because the boat had seine history for herring. During summer area closures which restrict the Cape Seafoods Mid-Water Trawling herring boats from fishing for herring, seine boats are allowed to fish for them. So now they will still be able to catch and provide fresh lobster bait rather than rely on costly frozen lobster bait for their customers.
