Writer's Notes-fishermen go out to sea, bring in a nice catch. Birds follow the boat in. Fishermen have a big load of cash in their pockets. Music to someone's ear? Booby's (seacoast flyers) get some silver. Fish. Bread/or fish in their bill. Tootsies is slang for prostitutes. With fishermen's bread (slang for cash) set aside (embed) to fill the bill. The title is also a play on words.
