It’s an early fall morning, and Pat Avila is watching the sun crack over New Bedford Harbor from the passenger seat of his car. His trunk is loaded with a neon-yellow laundry sack for his foul-weather gear and a camo duffle holding everything else he might need on a fishing trip lasting anywhere between two days and two weeks. Route 18 commuters aren’t yet on the road, and the waterfront is just beginning to stir.

The Codfather Pt II: “I’ve seen a lot of gangster stories. Some, they call this loan sharking. But I know how to make money the right way, too. This is legit real estate deals. Legit. No other asshole in the city of New Bedford is making 14% on his money. Not in fishing. No way.”
