Haddock Nubble. This is placed SE. ? S. from Matinicus Rock, far-away 16 miles, and it has an
average depth of 50 fathoms more than a small, circular area some 2,000 feet across. The base is of
rocks and gravel, and "lemons" and marine growths of like character are abundant. It is a June cod
floor, usually furnishing great haddocking, also, from November to Jan, inclusive.
Skate Banking institution. This bank bears SSE. from Matinicus Rock, distant 12 miles. It is a couple
of miles in size and nearly circular in form. Depths are from 35 to 60 fathoms. The bottom is gravelly
but quite uneven. The ideal season on this floor for cod and cusk is from Apr to July. Hake abound in
July and August. Hand lines and trawls are used here, fished by sloops and vessels.
Matinicus Sou'Sou'West Grounds. These grounds bear SSW. from Matinicus Rock, through which
the inner edge of the grounds is remote 6 miles. They extend about 9 miles N. and S. and have
approximately the same width, being almost triangular in shape, broadest at the northern
conclusion. On the northern aspect there is a shoal of approximately 30 fathoms 2 miles long E. and
W. and 1 mile broad. Sharp rocks include this, but the terrain is not broken and drops off gradually
to depths of 50 to 55 fathoms or even to 60 fathoms about the southern part. Outside of the shoal the
bottom is pebbly and gravelly. This is one of the best haddock and cod reasons 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 for this ground and in 60
fathoms on the mud off the edge SE. of this ground through the summer season. Marks: The high
pinnacle on the eastern end of Wood made Ball, showing just out by Matinicus Rock, SW. by S. from
the rock and roll, 5 miles.
Internal 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 good fishing for cod in
June and May, while haddock are here in December and January. A good school of hake is found on
the edge of the ground in summer. The base is rocky and broken and, whilst sharp, is fished with
trawls along with hand lines. It is mostly a small-boat ground.
Towhead Grounds. These grounds hear N. by E. ? E. from Matinicus Island, that they are distant 2?
miles. Depths are from 12 to 30 fathoms. It is somewhat irregular in shape and contains a very
rocky, shattered bottom. The ground is 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 haddock and cod inside
the bay. In former times this and the preceding reasons were considered way too sharp for using
trawls, even though fingers lines and trawls are used here now. Both these are good lobster grounds
and chiefly small-vessel grounds.
Green Isle Ridge (or Western Ridge) and the Pigeon Ground. The northern portion of this ridge lies
6? miles NW. by W. from Matinicus Rock, from which the ground runs about 7 kilometers in a SSW.
course. The greatest width will not be over 1 distance. Depths are from 15 to 30 fathoms. The
bottom is cracked and rocky. It is actually a good cod floor in the fall and spring. Haddock are found
here inJune and November, and Dec. In summer this is a great hake ground. Halibut are found on
the shoals (10 fathoms) contributing to the northern component of Western Green Island, on the
sandy underside during June and July.

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, along with the ground
abounds in cod in the time of year from March to June. Just from the edge, in depths of from 40 to 50
fathoms, the bottom is gentle mud, on which hake abound in summertime. 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 seashells, that makes off to the eastward
of the Haddock Ledge and Shoal and bears about S. from Matinic. The Haddock Shoal and the Ooze
really are parts of one soil, though they have been offered different names from the fishermen. The

3. Haddock Shoal (3 mls S. by B. from the Seal Ledge: It really is a fall haddock terrain, even though
breaks in rough weather) is thought to be poor ground and is but tiny fished. The Ooze falls off
progressively, reaching a degree of 50 fathoms on the outer part. It is considered honest fishing
ground for cod and haddock in the spring and for cod and hake in the fall and summer time.
Freemans Ground. This ground lies 6? miles E. from Monhegan Island between Ornes Ground and
Matinicus Western Floor. It is 3 miles long and 1 mile wide and runs in a NE. and SW. direction.
There is a shoal about the southwest part experiencing 20 fathoms spanning a sharp rocky bottom.
The rest of the ground has depths of 25 to 40 fathoms, the bottom of rocks, pea gravel, and shells, in
a few places uneven as well as in others smooth. This is a good spring ground for cod and for cod,
hake, and pollock in the fall. Haddock are not numerous for this ground, though several are usually
to be found in December. Herring are here 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 to 30
fathoms over adistinct and rocky, and broken bottom. Middle Shoal is 2 miles from the tropical
island. Pollock Rip 1? miles. Allens Shoal 1 1/4 miles, possessing 5? fathoms and breaking in rough
weather; and Deckers Shoal 1 distance. Depths vary here from 6 to 30 fathoms spanning a bottom
generally sharp and rocky. The principal fishing here is fingers-lining for cod in the spring
throughout the herring season and then in the fall in "squid time". A few pollock are taken in this
article also.
A number of modest patches lie westerly from the Outer Shoal and close to Monhegan Island. These
are the Cusk Ground with a range of 20 to 35 fathoms; Gull Rock Ledge (smashes in rough weather
conditions) 3? fathoms; Lobster Point Ground, 15 to 30 fathoms; Inner Spring Soil, 15 to 30 fathoms;
Outer Springtime Ground 25 to 30 fathoms. Every one of these are fished for cod nearly all the year,
for haddock in December and January, and for pollock during the early spring and delayed fall. The
Spring Grounds are nearby the harbor and so are fished before the others. Are all lobster grounds.
Little boats and vessels operate here.
Black colored Island Ground. This ground is ENE. 2 miles from Monhegan. 1 distance in diameter,
has a shoal of 10 fathoms, and distinct rocky bottom within the center. The ground slopes gradually
from this to 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 slip and summer. Pollock are found about the shoal in summer. It is a good lobster soil.
Franklin Ground. This ground is NE. by N. midway between Monhegan and Burnt Island, remote 4
miles. haddock and Cod are found here from April to June and pollock in summertime. In fall and
summer hake are taken by nighttime fishing with fingers line about the stones in 20 to 30 fathoms
on the broken ground. Minn Kota Endura here is yourself-lining in summer and trawling in fall and
winter. It is a lobster ground.
White Brain Ground. Depths about the shoal (the White-colored Hub: Bring Budd cottage out by
White Head, Dark 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 extended by 1/4 mile broad. The bottom is
chiefly broken, of stones, and with spots of coarse gravel and sand. Fish in addition to their seasons
are as on Franklin Terrain. Marks: Bring Black colored Head, White Mind, and Gull Go in range on
the east side of Monhegan Island.

4. Burnt Island, Inner Ridge aka Andrews Shoal. This is NE. by E. from Monhegan, distant 5 mls. It is a
broken soil with depths from 15 to 20 fathoms, the bottom rocky and gravelly, with occasional mud
pockets. It extends NE. about 4 kilometers, nearly to Roaring Bull Ledge, and is ? mile wide. You can
find strong tidal currents here, the flood being NE., the ebb SW. It is actually a cod ground from
April to June, and cod and hake are extracted from September to December; haddock in December.
It is a good lobster ground.
Burnt Island, 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 rather less broken than on the Inner
Ridge. Fishing seasons and species are as on Inner Ridge. Hand-lining is done mostly as a
consequence of strong tides. It really is a good lobster soil.
Ornes Ground. This ground bears E., distant 4? kilometers from Monhegan Gentle to the center. It is
actually 1 mile lengthy. E. and W. and 1 distance wide. Depths are from 30 to 45 fathoms. On the
shoal parts the bottom is of sharp rocks and broken. On other parts it is generally pebbly and very
level. The shoal lies toward the eastern part of the terrain and is a good spring season cod ground;
another pollock ground inside the spring and fall. It is a night minn kota endura ground for hake, by
hand lining near the rocks during September and October. Herring are abundant here usually in
Could and June. It is a very good lobster ground. Minn Kota Endura is done by hand collections and
trawls.
External Shoal. This floor is ESE from Monhegan Light a couple of? miles. It is spherical in form
contributing to 1? miles over. Depths are from 10 to 38 fathoms. There is a small rocky shoal in the
center of the ground; the remainder of the piece has a gravelly bottom. This is a cod ground from
spring season to fall and a good pollock floor in September. A few haddock are taken here about the
edges in December. Hake are abundant in the edges on the soil in 45 to 50 fathoms during the
summer, fall and spring season.
Monhegan Inner Sou'Southeast Ground. This ground is SSE from Monhegan Light-weight. It is
circular in form and 1/14 a long way across. The heart is 5 mls fro the light. Depths are from 30 to
50 fathoms, the shoalest water becoming on the eastern aspect, the shoal carries a broken and
difficult bottom, but the remainder of the ground is gravelly and muddy. The main fishes taken are
cod and cusk in the fall, summer and spring. Hardly any haddock are found on this page. Pollock are
numerous inside the fall, when they are taken by hand lining. Hake are abundant in October and
September. June is the best sport fishing month, except once the squid strike the earth in the fall.
This really is mainly a small vessel ground, fished by trawls, hand facial lines and an increasing
number of gill nets.
Monhegan Outer Sou'Southeast. Three mls outside the Inner Ground on the same bearing and
similar in size and form. The bottom is rocky and dirty or of difficult clay. The depths are from 35 to
55 fathoms. Exactly the same species are found in this article as on Inner Sou'Southeast and at the
identical seasons, and in addition, palm lining is done for cod in August and September.
Glowing blue Ground. This is SE 1? E from Monhegan, distant 14 miles; E 1? S from Portland
Lightship 45 kilometers, and SW from Matinicus Rock 9 miles to the southern part of Edge.
Fishermen typically take the Monhegan having [12] for their starting point. This ground has a tiny
shoal in the middle, having 28 to 30 fathoms, that the bottom slopes away and off to 60 and 45
fathoms on the sides. The shoal is broken and difficult, bu the deep water is over a level gravelly
bottom. This ground is circular in type and about 2 miles across. It is the two a small-vessel and boat
terrain, larger craft running here mainly in the fall. Hake can be found here in large phone numbers
in summer and fall; cusk are taken in the deep water the year about but are most abundant in

5. January. Cod are here the year around, the largest institution occurring in Feb and March.
Monhegan Southeast Ground. This ground lies SE from Monhegan Island, the center faraway 12
miles. This can be nearly circular, 3 miles in size. Depths are from 35 to 75 fathoms over a bottom of
rocks, gravel and mud, though the underside is so broken that depths may vary much within a short
distance. Minn Kota Endura is by trawl and handline. It can be 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 Terrain. This ground is SSW 9 kilometers from Matinic: among 3 and 4 mls long SW and NE and
some 2 miles wide. The shoalest part has 35 fathoms as well as a rocky bottom. With this it slopes
steadily to a depth of 50 fathoms spanning a bottom of merged rocks, dirt and gravel. Its best minn
kota endura is for hake, making use of both hand outlines and trawls.
Monhegan Inner Sou'Sou'west Soil. this ground will take its name from the bearing, lying SSW from
Monhegan gentle, distant 5 kilometers. Its width is 1? miles, its length NNE and SSW is 1 1/4 miles.
It has a sharp, broken, rocky bottom part, including a small shoal of 20 fathoms and some hummocks
of rather greater depths. The deepest water is in the neighborhood of 50 fathoms. Angling here is
from May possibly until July for codfish and pollock: cusk and hake are in the deeply water in the
spring months and halibut around the shoal in July and September. There exists considerable hand
lining in September and October, even though this soil is principally fished by trawls. Gillnetting,
too, has become more prevalent of later years.
Harris Ground. From 15 miles S ? W from Monhegan island to 6 miles SSW. It provides 40 to 50
fathoms over a bottom part of sharp mud and rocks--a "blistery" base. hake, cusk and Cod are found
here the entire year around. Halibut are here in June, July and August. Fishing is actually by
trawling and palm lining, with hardly any gillnetting.
The 45 Fathom Bunch. Sixteen miles S 1? E from Monhegan. This is a great ground for June fingers
lining for cod. Thence 1 distance ENE to 70 fathom depth, which results in a piece of ground leading
to the Inner Fall, on which, on a hard base and mud where there is an abundance of "lemons" and
similar forms, can be found cod cusk and pollock in June. The ground is about 6 miles long, WSW
and ENE by 1 mile wide.
An additional Forty Five Fathom Bunch lies 22 miles S ? E from Monhegan. This ground is 4 miles
long by 1 mile large, running ENE and WSW, and has depths from 45 to 75 fathoms. This is likewise
a great cod hand lining soil 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 periods are much the same as about the other grounds of the name. This is
probably the earth 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 SSW, lengthy and NNE and about 2 miles wide, and it has 45 fathoms about the shoalest
part nevertheless the depths generally are from 60 to 80 fathoms. The bottom normally is gravelly
and quite level. The earth is fished by both boats and vessels using hand lines and trawls.
This is a cod terrain in spring and fall. In summer season hake are numerous here, and halibut are
quite plentiful in July on the shoalest part.
Old Jeffrey. An exceedingly great ground. It is said that better minn kota endura might be had here
than on any other floor of its size inside the vicinity. This bit of bottom bears SE from Pumpkin Rock,

6. from which the center is distant about 6 miles. It can be about 3 miles long NE and SW, and about 1
mile wide. The base is broken, of gravel and mud, with depths from 25 to 50 fathoms. Fishing this is
by trawling and land-liner. In spring cod are most plentiful, in late summer and fall hake, cod, and
pollock are taken. Halibut are found on the shoaler elements in July.
Little Jeffrey. A small part of broken, rocky bottom part, roughly circular in form. Depths common 35
fathoms. Kinds and seasons are as on Aged Jeffrey, from which it lies about 4 miles NE by E.
Monhegan American Ground. This is a somewhat extensive ground lying down about 4? miles WSW
from Monhegan Island. The depths range from 22 to 45 fathoms. Its length is 4 or 5 miles, and its
finest breadth is 2 miles on the eastern portion, gradually narrowing westward to about 1 mile. The
ground operates SE and NW. Pollock are found in September and October. It is fished yourself gill,
lines and trawls nets. Marks: Provide houses on New Harbor over the white cliff on Pemaquid 6
miles from New Harbor.

entrance to Boothbay Harbor), distant 7
miles. It extends 4 mls in an ENE. and WSW
direction and has an average width of 1?
miles. Depths are from 35 to 50 fathoms
over a bottom of mud and rocks. Cod are
taken on this page the year around; hake
from June to September. Cusk are also
found here each of the year in 40 fathoms
depths. It can be fair herring ground on
spring night time.
Great Ledge. Twenty miles S. from Cape
Newagen. It can be about 4 a long way long,
SSW. and NNE and from 1 to 2 miles wide.
There exists said to be a shoal of 14 fathoms
on the northern edge and another of 22
fathoms near the centre. These are both
broken and rocky, however the main part of
the floor, having depths of 30 to 45 fathoms,
is mostly comprised of sand. is quite levels,
and slopes slowly toward the edge. 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-vessel and boat
ground, angling being done by hand facial lines and trawls, with a few gill netting. Spots: Show the
sawtooth of Morse's Hill coming out by Seguin on the western part; hold this right up until Pumpkin
Island comes onto White Tropical island.
Barnum Head Grounds. These lie SSE. from Damariscove Island and are about 1 mile long by 400
yards large. Depths are from 40 to 70 fathoms over broken terrain of sharp rocks on the shoals, with
mud on the much deeper parts. This floor is fished manually lines, gill nets, and trawls mainly by
boats and small craft. , and pollock are found here in the spring and fall months:Cod and haddock

7. hake in the muddy components in summer. It is a summer hand-line ground for cod and pollock also.
Marks: Take the peak of Heron Island on Damariscove and the "Whistler" on Seguin, 7 a long way
from Damariscove Isle (this gives 21-fathom soundings) or Big White Island's inner part just
touching on Barnum Head; Morse Mountain peak (in Kennebec) holding on eastern part of Seguin to
make a sawtooth.
Peterson's Ground. Lies distant SW. from Monhegan 20 a long way and SSE. from Seguin 16
kilometers. This is about 3 miles long in a 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 part
about it to 60 fathoms over a underside of stones and rocks. Easterly and southerly the ground ski
slopes away gradually more than hard gravel to 90 fathoms. Cod and hake give the best minn kota
endura here--at its peak while in October and October.
Cusk Ridge. It lies S. ? E. 12 miles from Pumpkin Island, 3? to 4 kilometers long, NE. and SW., and
1/4 mile wide. This soil is somewhat difficult to find. It possesses a bottom of black rocks and pea
gravel with 30. Fire could spread rapidly
on a boat, even about water.
Alarms as well as detectors can
help keep the crew safe.to 60 fathoms water over it. A "blistery" bottom that is a cod ground the
year about, the best of the fishing occurring in the spring weeks. Hake are abundant in the fall, and
cusk fishing is exceptionally good from the deep water in June.
Potato Patch. Three miles WNW. from Monhegan. A round nubble about 14 mile in diameter, of
razor-sharp, rocky bottom experiencing about 40 fathoms over it. Cusk and cod are taken on the
hake and shoal in the muddy edges regarding this.
The Apron. one and Four-half miles from Monhegan. Marks are the tripod on Eastern Ovum Rock
over Franklin Island Light; Monhegan Light over the middle of Manana. Its length is 5 mls and its
width 3 miles. It is a damaged piece of ground with 10 to 45 fathoms. Cod can be found the year
around and haddock all the season except for a few days in summer. Cusk are here most of the year,
but the period for pollock is September.
Henry Gallant Ridges. The inner 1 lies 16? a long way S. by E. of Monhegan Tropical island,
extending in a NNE. and SSW. route, about 1 mile long by 1/4 distance wide. The outer ridge lies
about 1? miles farther from the island on the same displaying as the first and paralleling it and
apparently 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 muddy
ground. Both these are year-all around cod grounds, the spring months, however, having The largest
university. Cusk also are ample on both shoals in the spring.
Mosers Ledge, also called Middle Ground. This piece of shoal ground lies about midway between
Monhegan Isle and Pemaquid and it has a 3-fathom shoal on the eastern part the location where the
sea breaks in heavy weather. This shoal, called Mosers Ledge, is cracked and rocky but slopes
gradually for the SW., reaching 48 fathoms, with a base of mud and gravel on the deepest part. The
ground is approximately 2 miles long NE. and SW. and about 1 mile wide. It is very good ground for
cod and haddock in the spring and for herring in June and other leading-schooling seafood In their
season. Mackerel occur in late August and September. It really is a lobster ground the season
around.

8. Johns Go Ground. About 4 miles SSE. from Pemaquid Point. Depths are from 25 to 15 fathoms
spanning a sandy bottom, making a good cod floor in April and May. The ground is of circular form
about 1 mile in diameter. Hand outlines and trawls, as well as some gill nets, are used on the beach
sand shoal.
White Isle Ground. This is ESE from White Isle, from which its inside edge is faraway ? mile and the
exterior edge about 4 miles. Of triangular outline, it is biggest at the outer finish. It is very broken
and uneven and has depths from 6 to 30 fathoms. On the shoal it is distinct, broken rocks, though 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 anglers catch a few rock cod. The sandy bottom
furnishes great fares of haddock in June and may even. "Bobber trawling" is the typical method used
within June. This ground is fished mostly by small vessels and sloops using hand lines and trawls.
Steamboat Terrain. Seven miles WSW. from Monhegan Tropical isle; it is 3 mls long, NE. and SW,
and ? distance wide. Its base http://www.worldfishingnetwork.com/ is broken with patches of rocks.
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 are found here the year about but are most plentiful in the
fall. Haddock are present all the slip and spring; hake through the summer months; pollock in the
fall. Cusk are most abundant in the spring. A certain amount of lobster minn kota endura is done in
this article.
Outer and Interior Boutens (Bootlegs). The interior ground lies 3 miles SW. from Monhegan Island.
It is actually about 1 distance long. NE. and SW., by 1/4 mile wide. It has a distinct, rocky bottom,
shoalest in the center, where by are 25 fathoms, sloping gradually south west and falling off all of a
sudden on the northeast part to the mud in 60 fathoms about the edges. , and cusk are here the
season around.Cod and haddock Hake exist in summer on the dirty edges. It is a fairly good lobster
soil on the shoal. The Outer Bouten is ? mile SW. in the Inner, separated from it by a deep, dirty
channel. It has a modest shoal of 30 fathoms rising all of a sudden from the surrounding soil. Fish
and conditions of their presence are as on Inside Bouten. Minn Kota Endura on these grounds is
principally by hand line and trawl. Marks: The Tripod on Traditional western Duck Island about the
eastern side of your big eastern mountain peak of Camden: Black Head just out by White Go; White
Head through the "Hole from the Wall."
Hill Ground. This soil is SSW 9 miles from Matinic: between 3 and 4 miles long SW and NE and
several 2 miles vast. The shoalest part has 35 fathoms and a rocky base. From this it slopes
gradually to a degree of 50 fathoms over a bottom of mixed gravel, rocks and mud. Its best fishing is
for hake, using both fingers lines and trawls.
Seguin Sou'Sou'West Ground. This ground is situated SSW. from the traditional western part of
Seguin Tropical isle, the center distant 4 miles. It really is a rocky shoal, ? distance long by 200
yards wide, by using a ? -acre shoal in the center. Depths are 7 to 14 fathoms. This is certainly
evidently a SSW continuation of the Hillside Ground. It is fished by small boats for rock cod by hand-
coating. Trawling is done in March for cod, and this is also a cod ground in April. It is equally a
small-boat and a vessel floor and is a lobster ground the year close to. Marks: Elwells Rock touching
the traditional western side of Seguin, and Fullers Rock and roll touching the the southern area of
part of Bald Head.

9. Seguin Ridge. This ridge is SSW. from Seguin Tropical
island, distant 5 mls. Four miles extended. ESE. and
WSW by ? mile broad. There are a number of tiny
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. This is a good cod terrain in the fall plus a
lobster ground. A couple of pollock are seined here in
the spring. Sport fishing is by hand facial lines, gill
netting, and trawling. Marks: Pond Island Light about
the eastern spur of Seguin; Wooded Tag Island on Bald Head (Small Position).
Seguin Ground. This ground is SW. by S. from Seguin Island, faraway about 7 kilometers to the
center. About 4 miles extended. NE. and SW., and a little more than 2 miles broad in the widest
portion. There is a small hummock called Bumpers Tropical island Ground on the north end with
depths of 13 fathoms. Toward the to the south the bottom is gravelly and sloping, so that on the
middle and southern portions you can find depths of 35 to 45 fathoms, even though the northern
part is mostly rocky. Cod, hake, and pollock are the principal fishes taken here and furnish some of
the best angling in this vicinity. Haddock are not common here but are abundant about the sandy
bottom to the westward in April and May. Trawl sport fishing and gill netting are done in the spring
for hand and cod lining for cod and pollock in October. It is a modest-boat and vessel ground as well
as a winter lobster ground.
