Haddock Nubble. This lies SE. ? S. from Matinicus Rock, faraway 16 miles, and contains an average
depth of 50 fathoms over a small, circular patch some 2,000 feet across. The bottom is of stones and
gravel, and "lemons" and marine growths of like nature are abundant. It is a June cod terrain,
usually furnishing excellent haddocking, also, from November to Jan, inclusive.
Skate Bank. This bank bears SSE. from Matinicus Rock, distant 12 miles. It is about 2 miles in
diameter and nearly round in form. Depths are from 35 to 60 fathoms. The base is gravelly but quite
uneven. The very best season on this floor for cod and cusk is from April to July. Hake abound in
August and July. Fingers lines and trawls are used here, fished by sloops and vessels.
Matinicus Sou'Sou'West Grounds. These grounds bear SSW. from Matinicus Rock, from where the
inner edge of the grounds is far-away 6 miles. They extend about 9 miles N. and S. and have
approximately the same width, being practically triangular in shape, broadest at the northern stop.
On the northern portion there is a shoal around 30 fathoms 2 miles long E. and W. and 1 mile wide.
Sharp rocks include this, but the ground is not broken and drops off gradually to depths of 50 to 55
fathoms or even to 60 fathoms in the southern part. Outside of the shoal the bottom is gravelly and
pebbly. This is one of the best cod and haddock grounds in the vicinity. Cod are sometimes abundant
on this page all winter; haddock are found here from December 1 to February and are a lot more
abundant than the cod. Hake are plentiful with this ground and in 60 fathoms on the dirt off the
edge SE. of this ground during the summer season. Marks: The high pinnacle on the eastern end of
Wooden Ball, showing just out by Matinicus Rock, SW. by S. from the rock and roll, 5 miles.
Inner Breaker. This is situated 2 miles W. of the southwest point of Matinicus Island. It is actually a
rocky shoal about 1 acre in extent and having 7 fathoms of water. From this shoal the bottom ski
slopes gradually to depths of 25 to 30 fathoms, and also this slope furnishes very good minn kota
endura for cod in May and June, while haddock are here in December and January. Barbecues

• Ensure almost all hobs get shut-off
or isolation valvesA good institution of hake is found on the edge of the soil in summer. The base is
rocky and broken and, when sharp, is fished with trawls along with hand lines. It really is mostly a
small-boat ground.
Towhead Grounds. These reasons hear N. by E. ? E. from Matinicus Island, from which they are
distant 2? miles. Depths come from 12 to 30 fathoms. It is relatively irregular in shape and it has a
very rocky, shattered bottom. The ground comes from 2? to 3 miles long and ? to 1? miles wide. It
runs E. by S. and W. by N. and is considered one of the best inside shoal grounds for cod and
haddock from the bay. In former times this and the preceding reasons were considered too sharp for
the usage of trawls, even though palm lines and trawls are used here now. Both these are good
lobster grounds and chiefly small-vessel grounds.
Green Island Ridge (or European Ridge) and the Pigeon Ground. The upper portion of this ridge lies
6? a long way NW. by W. from Matinicus Rock and roll, from which the ground runs about 7
kilometers in a SSW. course. The greatest width is just not over 1 distance. Depths are from 15 to 30
fathoms. The bottom is broken and rocky. This is a good cod terrain in the fall and spring. Haddock
are normally found here inJune and November, and Dec. In summer this is an excellent hake ground.
Halibut are found on the shoals (10 fathoms) and about the northern element of Western Green Isle,
on the sandy bottom during June and July.
Matinic Financial institution. This is an extension of your shore soundings that will make out to the
southward and eastward of Matinic a extended distance of 2 or 3 miles, with depths (outside of 1?
miles) of 23 to 30 fathoms. The bottom is levels, consisting of rocks, pebbles, and gravel, and also
the ground abounds in cod in the year from March to June. Just away from the edge, in depths of
from 40 to 50 fathoms, the bottom is delicate mud, on which hake abound in summer season. Very
few haddock are taken on this banking institution. Halibut are sometimes numerous here in 10 to 15
fathoms during May and June.
Matinic Ooze. This is a flat bottom, comprised of ooze and shells, that makes off to the eastward of
the Haddock Ledge and Shoal and bears about S. from Matinic. The Haddock Shoal and the Ooze
are really parts of one ground, though they have been provided different names with the fishermen.
The Haddock Shoal (3 kilometers S. by B. from the Seal Ledge: It is a fall haddock terrain, even
though breaks in rough weather) is thought to be poor ground and is but little fished. The Ooze falls

3. off progressively, reaching a range of 50 fathoms on the outer component. It is considered
acceptable minn kota endura ground for haddock and cod in the spring and for cod and hake inside
the fall and summer time.
Freemans Ground. This ground lies 6? miles E. from Monhegan Island in between Ornes Ground and
Matinicus Western Floor. It is 3 a long way long and 1 mile wide and runs in a NE. and SW. course.
There is a shoal around the southwest part getting 20 fathoms spanning a sharp rocky underside.
The rest of the ground has depths of 25 to 40 fathoms, the bottom of rocks, gravel, and shells, in a
few places uneven and in others smooth. This is an excellent spring ground for cod and for cod,
hake, and pollock in the fall. Haddock are not numerous on this ground, though a few are usually to
be found within December. Herring are on this page May to August.
Middle Shoal, Pollock Rip, Allens Shoal, and Deckers Shoal. These are small difficult patches lying to
eastward of Monhegan Island and northerly from the Outer Shoal. They have depths from 6. Inspect
the particular lagging of motor as well as heater exhausts for damage along with deterioration along
with close by items with regard to heat damage or charring.to 30 fathoms over arazor-sharp and
rocky, and broken bottom. Middle Shoal is 2 miles from the tropical island. Pollock Rip 1? miles.
Allens Shoal 1 1/4 miles, experiencing 5? fathoms and breaking in difficult weather; and Deckers
Shoal 1 distance. Depths vary on this page from 6 to 30 fathoms spanning a bottom generally
difficult and sharp. The principal minn kota endura here is hands-lining for cod in the spring during
the herring season and in the fall in "squid time". A few pollock are taken here also.
A number of little patches lie westerly from the Outer Shoal and close to Monhegan Island. These
are the Cusk Ground with a level of 20 to 35 fathoms; Gull Rock Ledge (breaks in rough weather
conditions) 3? fathoms; Lobster Point Ground, 15 to 30 fathoms; Inner Spring Ground, 15 to 30
fathoms; Outer Spring season Ground 25 to 30 fathoms. All of these are fished for cod nearly all the
year, for haddock in December and January, and for pollock during the early spring and late fall. The
Spring season Grounds are close to the harbor and so are fished before the others. Are all lobster
grounds. Small vessels and watercraft operate here.
Black colored Island Ground. This ground is ENE. 2 miles from Monhegan. 1 mile in diameter,
features a shoal of 10 fathoms, and well-defined rocky bottom inside the center. The ground slopes
gradually from this towards the edges, where are 40 fathoms. Past the depths of 28 to 30 fathoms
the bottom is gravelly and smoother. This can be a cod ground in spring, and cod and hake are taken
here around the edges in summertime and fall. Pollock are found about the shoal in summer. It is
actually a good lobster terrain.
Franklin Ground. This ground is NE. by N. midway between Monhegan and Burnt Island, far-away 4
miles. Cod and haddock are found here from Apr to June and pollock in summer season. In fall and
summer hake are taken by night minn kota endura with palm line about the rocks in 20 to 30
fathoms on the broken floor. Fishing here is yourself-lining in summer and trawling in winter and
fall. It is a lobster ground.
White Mind Ground. Depths in the shoal (the White colored Hub: Bring Budd cottage out by White
Head, Black colored Head. and Allens Island touching) are 7 fathoms, thence to 20 fathoms on the
edges about it. This ground expands NE. and SW., 2 miles lengthy by 1/4 mile broad. The bottom is
chiefly broken, of stones, and with spots of coarse sand and gravel. Fish along with their seasons are
as on Franklin Ground. Marks: Bring Black colored Head, White Head, and Gull Mind in range about
the east side of Monhegan Island.
Scorched Island, Inner Ridge aka Andrews Shoal. This is NE. by E. from Monhegan, distant 5

4. kilometers. It is a broken terrain with depths from 15 to 20 fathoms, the bottom rocky and gravelly,
with occasional mud openings. It extends NE. about 4 kilometers, nearly to Roaring Bull Ledge, and
it is ? mile wide. You will find strong tidal currents here, the flood being NE., the ebb SW. This is a
cod ground from April to June, and cod and hake are removed from September to October; haddock
in December. It is a good lobster ground.
Burnt Tropical isle, Outer Ridge. This ground is parallel with the Inner Ridge and at a distance of 3/4
distance. Depths are from 5 to 25 fathoms, the bottom being quite less broken than on the Inner
Ridge. Minn Kota Endura species and seasons are as on Inner Ridge. Hand-liner is done mostly
because of strong tides. This is a good lobster terrain.
Ornes Ground. This ground bears E., distant 4? a long way from Monhegan Light to the center. It is
actually 1 mile long. E. and W. and 1 mile wide. Depths come from 30 to 45 fathoms. On the shoal
parts the bottom is of sharp stones and broken. On other parts it is normally pebbly and rather level.
The shoal lies toward the eastern part of the terrain and is a good spring season cod ground; yet
another pollock ground in the fall and spring season. It is a night minn kota endura ground for hake,
by hand lining near the rocks during September and October. Herring are abundant right here
usually in June and May. It is a great lobster ground. Minn Kota Endura is done by hand lines and
trawls.
External Shoal. This soil is ESE from Monhegan Light about 2? miles. It is round in form and
approximately 1? miles over. Depths are from 10 to 38 fathoms. There is a small difficult shoal in the
center of the earth; the remainder with this piece has a gravelly bottom. This is a cod ground from
spring season to fall and a good pollock soil in September. A couple of haddock are taken here about
the sides in December. Hake are abundant around the edges on the dirt in 45 to 50 fathoms through
the summer, early spring and fall.
Monhegan Internal Sou'Southeast Ground. This ground is SSE from Monhegan Gentle. It is circular
in form and 1/14 a long way across. The centre is 5 a long way fro the light. Depths are from 30 to
50 fathoms, the shoalest water becoming on the eastern aspect, the shoal has a broken and rocky
bottom, but the remainder of the ground is gravelly and muddy. The main fishes taken are cod and
cusk in the fall, summer time and spring. Only a few haddock are found in this article. Pollock are
numerous in the fall, when they are taken by hand lining. Hake are abundant in September and
October. June is the best minn kota endura month, except as soon as the squid strike the earth in the
fall. This is certainly mainly a small vessel ground, fished by trawls, hand outlines and an increasing
number of gill nets.
Monhegan External Sou'Southeast. Three mls outside the Inner Terrain on the same bearing and
similar in form and size. The bottom is rocky and muddy or of challenging clay. The depths are from
35 to 55 fathoms. A similar species are found right here as on Internal Sou'Southeast and at the
identical seasons, and in addition, hands lining is done for cod in August and September.
Blue Ground. This is SE 1? E from Monhegan, distant 14 miles; E 1? S from Portland Lightship 45
miles, and SW from Matinicus Rock 9 miles to the southern part of Edge. Fishermen normally take
the Monhegan showing [12] for their starting point. This ground has a little shoal in the center,
having 28 to 30 fathoms, from which the bottom slopes off to 45 and 60 fathoms on the edges. The
shoal is broken and difficult, bu the deep water is over a level gravelly underside. This ground is
circular in type and about 2 a long way across. It is each a small-vessel and boat ground, larger craft
operating here mainly within the fall. Hake are found here in large phone numbers in summer and
fall; cusk are taken in the deep water the year all around but are most numerous in January. Cod are
here the entire year around, the largest college occurring in February and March.

5. Monhegan Southeast Ground. This ground lies SE from Monhegan Tropical island, the center
faraway 12 miles. This is certainly nearly circular, 3 miles in diameter. Depths are from 35 to 75
fathoms over a bottom of rocks, mud and gravel, though the base is so broken that depths may vary
much within a short extended distance. Fishing is by trawl and handline. It really is good cod soil
from April to July; haddock are taken in December and hake in summer time on the edges in 50 to 60
fathoms.
Hill Soil. This ground is SSW 9 a long way from Matinic: between 3 and 4 miles long SW and NE and
some 2 miles wide. The shoalest part has 35 fathoms plus a rocky bottom. Using this it slopes
steadily to a depth of 50 fathoms over a bottom of merged rocks, pea gravel and mud. Its best minn
kota endura is for hake, making use of both hand facial lines and trawls.
Monhegan Inner Sou'Sou'west Floor. this ground
takes its name by reviewing the bearing, lying
SSW from Monhegan lighting, distant 5 mls. Its
width is 1? miles, its length NNE and SSW is 1
1/4 miles. It has a distinct, broken, rocky
underside, including a small shoal of 20 fathoms
and some hummocks of rather greater depths.
The deepest water is in the neighborhood of 50
fathoms. Minn Kota Endura here is from May
until July for codfish and pollock: hake and cusk
are in the serious water in the spring months and
halibut around the shoal in Sept and July. There is certainly considerable hand upholster in
September and October, even though this ground is principally fished by trawls. Gillnetting, too, has
become more prevalent of later several years.
Harris Ground. From 15 miles S ? W from Monhegan island to 6 miles SSW. They have 40 to 50
fathoms over a bottom of sharp dirt and rocks--a "blistery" underside. hake, Cod and cusk are found
here the season around. Halibut are here in June, July and August. Fishing is as simple as trawling
and hand lining, with hardly any gillnetting.
The 45 Fathom Bunch. Sixteen miles S 1? E from Monhegan. This is a great soil for June palm lining
for cod. Thence 1 mile ENE to 70 fathom depth, which leads to a piece of ground ultimately causing
the Inner Fall, on what, on a hard underside and mud in which there is an abundance of "lemons"
and similar forms, are located cod cusk and pollock in June. The ground is about 6 miles WSW, long
and ENE by 1 mile wide.
One more Forty Five Fathom Bunch lies 22 miles S ? E from Monhegan. This ground is 4 miles long
by 1 mile wide, running ENE and WSW, and has depths from 45 to 75 fathoms. This is certainly
likewise a great cod hand lining ground in June.
Yet another of the same name is placed 26 miles S 1? E from Monhegan. It has a 49 fathom shoal as
well as the species and seasons are much the same as about the other grounds of the name. This is
probably the soil known to other vessel captains as Toothaker Ridge.
Monhegan Outer Sou'Sou'West. This floor is SSW from Monhegan Light. the center distant 9 miles It
is 4 miles NNE, SSW and long and about 2 miles wide, and possesses 45 fathoms in the shoalest part
however the depths generally are from 60 to 80 fathoms. The bottom normally is gravelly and quite

6. level. The ground is fished by both boats and vessels using fingers lines and trawls.
This is a cod floor in fall and spring. In summer season hake are ample here, and halibut are quite
plentiful in July on the shoalest part.
Old Jeffrey. An exceedingly good ground. It is said that better fishing could be had here than on any
other ground of its size within the vicinity. This part of bottom bears SE from Pumpkin Rock and roll,
from which the centre is distant about 6 miles. It can be about 3 kilometers long SW and NE, and
about 1 mile wide. The base is broken, of gravel and dirt, with depths from 25 to 50 fathoms. Minn
Kota Endura this is by trawling and land-upholster. In spring cod are most ample, in late summer
and fall hake, cod, and pollock are taken. Halibut are found on the shoaler parts in July.
Tiny Jeffrey. A small bit of broken, rocky underside, roughly circular in form. Depths common 35
fathoms. conditions and Species are as on Older Jeffrey, from which it lies about 4 miles NE by E.
Monhegan American Ground. This is a relatively extensive ground being untruthful about 4? miles
WSW from Monhegan Island. The depths range from 22 to 45 fathoms. Its length is 4 to 5 miles, and
its greatest breadth is 2 miles on the eastern portion, gradually thinning westward to about 1 mile.
The ground works SE and NW. Pollock are found in September and October. It is fished manually
lines, trawls and gill nets. Marks: Deliver houses on New Harbor over the bright white cliff on
Pemaquid 6 miles from New Harbor.
Broken Ground. The middle bears nearly S. from
Pumpkin Tropical island (at entrance to Boothbay
Harbor), distant 7 miles. It extends 4 a long way in an
ENE. and WSW direction and possesses an average
width of 1? miles. Depths are from 35 to 50 fathoms
with a bottom of dirt and rocks. Cod are taken on this
page the year around; hake from June to September.
Cusk are also found here all of the year in 40 fathoms
depths. It is fair herring ground on spring times.
Great Ledge. Ten miles S. from Cape Newagen. It is about 4 miles long, SSW. and NNE and from 1
to 2 miles wide. There may be said to be a shoal of 14 fathoms on the northern advantage and
another of 22 fathoms near the heart. The key part of the ground, getting depths of 30 to 45
fathoms, is mostly composed of sand. is quite level, and slopes gradually to the edge, although these
are typically both broken and rocky. It is a very good ground for haddock and cod during winter and
for cod early in the year. A few pollock are taken here, also. Halibut are located on the shoals in July.
On these, also, are good lobster reasons. It is chiefly a tiny-boat and vessel ground, angling being
done by hand facial lines and trawls, with many gill netting. Markings: Show the sawtooth of Morse's
Mountain / hill coming out by Seguin on the western aspect; hold this right up until Pumpkin Island
is available onto White Island.
Barnum Head Reasons. These lie SSE. from Damariscove Island and are about 1 mile long by 400
yards vast. Depths are from 40 to 70 fathoms over broken soil of sharp stones on the shoals, with
mud on the greater parts. This terrain is fished manually lines, gill nets, and trawls primarily by
boats and small craft. , and pollock are found here in the spring and fall months:Cod and haddock
hake in the muddy pieces in summer. It is actually a summer hand-line ground for cod and pollock
also. Marks: Provide the peak of Heron Island on Damariscove and the "Whistler" on Seguin, 7

7. kilometers from Damariscove Tropical isle (this gives 21-fathom soundings) or Big White Island's
inner part just touching on Barnum Head; Morse Mountain peak (in Kennebec) coming in contact
with on eastern a part of Seguin to make a sawtooth.
Peterson's Ground. Is placed distant SW. from Monhegan 20 mls and SSE. from Seguin 16
kilometers. This is about 3 miles long inside an ENE. and WSW. direction by about 1? miles broad.
The northern and western edges increase sharply from the 85 or 90 fathoms of the muddy bottom
about it to 60 fathoms over a underside of rocks and stones. Easterly and southerly the ground
slopes away gradually more than hard gravel to 90 fathoms. Cod and hake provide the best fishing
here--at its peak during November and October.
Cusk Ridge. It lies S. ? E. 12 miles from Pumpkin Island, 3? to 4 kilometers long, NE. and SW., and
1/4 distance wide. This ground is somewhat difficult to find. It features a bottom of black colored
rocks and gravel with 30 to 60 fathoms of water over it. A "blistery" bottom that is a cod ground the
year around, the best of the minn kota endura occurring in the spring several weeks. Hake are
abundant in the fall, and cusk fishing is exceptionally good in the deep water in June.
Potato Area. Three miles WNW. from Monhegan. A round nubble about 14 mile in diameter, of well-
defined, rocky bottom having about 40 fathoms over it. Cusk and cod are taken on the hake and
shoal through the muddy edges about it.
The Apron. Four and one-fifty percent miles from Monhegan. Marks are the tripod on Eastern Egg
cell Rock over Franklin Island Light; Monhegan Light over the middle of Manana. Its duration is 5
kilometers and its width 3 miles. It is a broken piece of ground with 10 to 45 fathoms. Cod can be
found the year around and haddock all the season except for a few several weeks in summer. The
time of year for pollock is September, even though cusk are here a lot of the year.
Henry Gallant Ridges. The inner one lies 16? a long way S. by E. of Monhegan Isle, extending in a
NNE. and SSW. path, about 1 distance long by 1/4 mile wide. The external ridge lies about 1? miles
far away from the island on the same having as the first and paralleling it and obviously is about the
same dimension. The bottom on both shoals is of pea gravel and black stones with depths averaging
45 fathoms but rising from the 80 and 90 fathoms of the surrounding dirty ground. Both these are
year-all around cod grounds, the spring months, however, having The largest school. Cusk also are
plentiful on both shoals in the spring.
Mosers Ledge, also referred to as Middle Ground. This piece of shoal terrain lies about midway
between Monhegan Isle and Pemaquid and contains a 3-fathom shoal in the eastern part in which
the sea breaks in heavy weather. This shoal, called Mosers Ledge, is damaged and rocky but slopes
gradually on the SW., reaching 48 fathoms, with a underside of mud and gravel on the deepest part.
The ground is all about 2 miles very long NE. and SW. and about 1 distance wide. It is good ground
for cod and haddock in the spring and for herring in June and other best-schooling sea food In their
season. Mackerel occur in late September and August. It really is a lobster ground the entire year
around.
Johns Brain Ground. About 4 miles SSE. from Pemaquid Point. Depths are from 25 to 15 fathoms
spanning a sandy bottom, building a good cod ground in April and could. The ground is of circular
form about 1 mile in diameter. Hand collections and trawls, together with some gill nets, are used on
the yellow sand shoal.

8. White Island Ground. This is ESE from White Tropical island, from which its interior edge is remote
? mile and the outer edge about 4 miles. Of triangular outline, it is
http://www.beach-net.com/fishing/ largest at the outer stop. It is very broken and uneven and has
depths from 6 to 30 fathoms. Around the shoal it is distinct, broken rocks, despite the fact that in
some places the base is gravelly. The tiny, rocky spots are known by other names, such as Browns
Head Ground (a herring ground in June), where the fishermen catch a few rock cod. The soft sand
bottom furnishes good fares of haddock in May and June. "Bobber trawling" is the normal method
used within June. This soil is fished primarily by small vessels and sloops using hand lines and
trawls.
Steamboat Ground. Seven miles WSW. from Monhegan Isle; it is 3 a long way long, NE. and SW, and
? mile wide. Its bottom is broken with patches of stones. Depths are from 25 to 50 fathoms, the
shoalest 20 fathoms. This is fished by hand lines and trawls mainly by craft from New Harbor. Cod
can be found here the year about but are most abundant in the fall. Haddock are present all the
early spring and fall; hake through the summer months; pollock in the fall. Cusk are most ample in
the spring. A certain amount of lobster fishing is done here.
Inner and Outer Boutens (Bootlegs). The inner ground lies 3 miles SW. from Monhegan Island. It is
about 1 distance long. NE. and SW., by 1/4 distance wide. It has a razor-sharp, rocky bottom,
shoalest in the center, where by are 25 fathoms, sloping gradually south west and falling off
instantly on the northeast part Get More Info to the mud in 60 fathoms around the edges. , and cusk
are here the year around.Cod and haddock Hake appear in summer on the muddy edges. It is a
reasonably good lobster floor on the shoal. The Outer Bouten is ? mile SW. of the Inner, separated
from it by a deep, dirty channel. It has a little shoal of 30 fathoms rising suddenly from the
surrounding dirt. seasons and Sea food of their presence are as on Internal Bouten. Minn Kota
Endura on these grounds is mainly by hand line and trawl. Marks: The Tripod on Western Duck
Island on the eastern side from the big eastern hill of Camden: Black color Head just out by White
Go; White Head with the "Hole within the Wall."
Hillside Ground. This terrain is SSW 9 miles from Matinic: between 3 and 4 miles long NE and SW
and some 2 miles large. The shoalest part has 35 fathoms and a rocky bottom part. From this it
slopes gradually to a depth of 50 fathoms over a bottom of mixed stones, gravel and dirt. Its very
best fishing is for hake, using both hand lines and trawls.
Seguin Sou'Sou'West Floor. This ground is situated SSW. from the western part of Seguin Tropical
island, the center far-away 4 miles. It really is a rocky shoal, ? mile long by 200 yards wide, using a ?
-acre shoal in the center. Depths are 7 to 14 fathoms. This is evidently a SSW continuation of the
Mountain Ground. It is fished by small watercraft for rock cod by hand-lining. Trawling is done in
March for cod, and this is also a cod ground in April. It is each a small-fishing boat and a vessel floor
and is a lobster ground the year close to. Marks: Elwells Rock and roll touching the traditional
western side of Seguin, and Fullers Rock touching the southern part of Bald Brain.
Seguin Ridge. This ridge is SSW. from Seguin Isle, distant 5 miles. Four miles long. ESE. and WSW
by ? mile broad. There are a number of little rocky spots--hummocks of 9 to 14 fathoms in depth. On
the whole the ground has from 10 to 40 fathoms over it, except as mentioned. Cod and cusk are
taken in the spring, haddock in May and June. and hake in summer. It really is a good cod soil in the
fall and also a lobster ground. Several pollock are seined here in the spring. Sport fishing is by hand
collections, gill netting, and trawling. Marks: Pond Island Light around the eastern spur of Seguin;
Wooded Tag Island on Hairless Head (Small Level).

9. Seguin Ground. This ground is SW. by S. from Seguin Island, distant about 7 mls to the center.
About 4 miles long. NE. and SW., and a little more than 2 miles broad in the widest aspect. There is
a small hummock called Bumpers Isle Ground on the upper end with depths of 13 fathoms. The
northern part is mostly rocky, but toward the south the bottom is gravelly and sloping, to ensure on
the middle and southern portions you can find depths of 35 to 45 fathoms. Cod, hake, and pollock
are the principal fishes taken here and furnish some of the best angling in this vicinity. Haddock are
not common on this page but are abundant on the sandy bottom to the westward in May and April.
Trawl sport fishing and gill netting are done in the spring for cod and palm lining for cod and pollock
in October. It is a modest-boat and vessel ground plus a winter lobster terrain.
