Fishing Grounds of the Gulf 1 05

Haddock Nubble. This is situated SE. ? S. from Matinicus Rock, far-away 16 miles, and possesses anaverage depth of 50 fathoms more than a small, circular patch some 2,000 feet across. The bottom isof pea gravel and rocks, and "lemons" and marine growths of like character are abundant. It is aJune cod terrain, usually furnishing excellent haddocking, also, from November to Jan, inclusive.

Skate Banking institution. This bank bears SSE. from Matinicus Rock, distant 12 miles. It is about 2miles in diameter and nearly round in form. Depths are from 35 to 60 fathoms. The bottom isgravelly but quite uneven. The very best season on this soil for cod and cusk is from April to July.Hake abound in July and August. Hands lines and trawls are used here, fished by sloops and vessels.

Matinicus Sou'Sou'West Grounds. These grounds bear SSW. from Matinicus Rock, that the inneredge of the grounds is far-away 6 miles. They extend about 9 miles N. and S. and have about thesame width, being virtually triangular in shape, broadest at the northern end. On the northerncomponent there is a shoal of approximately 30 fathoms 2 miles long E. and W. and 1 mile wide. Thesoil is not broken and drops off progressively to depths of 50 to 55 fathoms or even to 60 fathomsabout the southern part, even though sharp rocks include this. Outside of the shoal the bottom isgravelly and pebbly. This is one of the best haddock and cod grounds in the vicinity. Cod aresometimes abundant on this page all winter; haddock are found here from December 1 to Februaryand are more abundant than the cod. Hake are plentiful with this ground and in 60 fathoms on themud off the edge SE. of this ground through the summer season. Marks: The top pinnacle on theeastern end of Solid wood Ball, showing just out by Matinicus Rock, SW. by S. from the rock and roll,5 miles.

Interior Breaker. This is placed 2 miles W. of the southwest reason for Matinicus Island. It really is arocky shoal about 1 acre in extent and having 7 fathoms of water. Out of this shoal the bottom skislopes gradually to depths of 25 to 30 fathoms, and that slope furnishes very good minn kota endurafor cod in May and June, while haddock are here in December and January. A good institution ofhake is found on the edge of the ground in summer. The base is rocky and broken and, althoughsharp, is fished with trawls and also hand lines. It is actually mostly a small-boat ground.

Towhead Grounds. These grounds hear N. by E. ? E. from Matinicus Island, from where they aredistant 2? miles. Depths are from 12 to 30 fathoms. It is considerably irregular in shape and it has avery rocky, cracked bottom. The ground is produced by 2? to 3 miles long and ? to 1? kilometerswide. It expands E. by S. and W. by N. and is deemed one of the best inside shoal grounds for codand haddock inside the bay. In former times this and the preceding reasons were considered toosharp for using trawls, even though hands lines and trawls are used here now. Both these are goodlobster grounds and chiefly small-motorboat grounds.

Green Isle Ridge (or European Ridge) and the Pigeon Ground. The north portion of this ridge lies 6?kilometers NW. by W. from Matinicus Rock and roll, from which the ground expands about 7 miles ina SSW. course. The greatest width is just not over 1 mile. Depths are from 15 to 30 fathoms. Thebottom is cracked and rocky. It is a good cod terrain in the spring and fall. Haddock are located hereinJune and November, and December. In summer this is a great hake ground. Halibut are found onthe shoals (10 fathoms) and about the northern element of Western Green Isle, on the sandy baseduring June and July.

Matinic Lender. This is an extension from the shore soundings which make out to the southward and

eastward of Matinic a range of 2 or 3 miles, with depths (outside of 1? miles) of 23 to 30 fathoms.The bottom is level, consisting of rocks, pebbles, and gravel, and also the ground abounds in cod inthe period from March to June. Just from the edge, in depths of from 40 to 50 fathoms, the bottom issoft mud, on which hake abound in summer time. Very few haddock are taken on this bank. Halibutare sometimes ample here in 10 to 15 fathoms during June and May.

Matinic Ooze. It is a flat bottom, comprised of ooze and shells, that makes off to the eastward of theHaddock Ledge and Shoal and bears about S. from Matinic. They have been offered different namesfrom the fishermen, though the Haddock Shoal and the Ooze are really parts of a single ground. TheHaddock Shoal (3 a long way S. by B. from the Seal Ledge: breaks in tough weather) is regarded aspoor ground and it is but little fished, although it is a slip haddock ground. The Ooze falls offgradually, reaching a depth of 50 fathoms on the outer portion. It is considered honest fishingground for cod and haddock in the spring and for cod and hake from the fall and summer.

Freemans Ground. This ground lies 6? miles E. from Monhegan Island in between Ornes Ground andMatinicus Western Terrain. It is 3 miles long and 1 mile wide and runs in a NE. and SW. course.There is a shoal on the southwest part possessing 20 fathoms more than a sharp rocky underside.The rest of the ground has depths of 25 to 40 fathoms, the bottom of rocks, pea gravel, and shells, insome places uneven and also in others smooth. This is a great spring ground for cod and for cod,hake, and pollock in the fall. Haddock are not numerous about this ground, though a couple of areusually to be found within December. Herring are here May to August.

Middle Shoal, Pollock Rip, Allens Shoal, and Deckers Shoal. These are small rocky patches lying toeastward of Monhegan Island and northerly from the Outer Shoal. They have depths from 6 to 30fathoms over arazor-sharp and rocky, and broken bottom. Midst Shoal is 2 miles from the isle.Pollock Rip 1? miles. Allens Shoal 1 1/4 miles, having 5? fathoms and breaking in difficult weather;and Deckers Shoal 1 distance. Depths vary in this article from 6 to 30 fathoms spanning a bottomgenerally difficult and sharp. The primary fishing here is palm-lining for cod in the spring in theherring season and 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. Theseare the Cusk Ground with a depth of 20 to 35 fathoms; Gull Rock Ledge (pauses in rough weather)3? fathoms; Lobster Point Ground, 15 to 30 fathoms; Inner Spring Soil, 15 to 30 fathoms; OuterSpring Ground 25 to 30 fathoms. Every one of these are fished for cod nearly all the entire year, forhaddock in December and January, and for pollock in early spring and delayed fall. The Early springGrounds are nearby the harbor and so are fished before the others. All are lobster grounds. Smallvessels and watercraft operate here.

Black Island Ground. This ground is ENE. 2 miles from Monhegan. 1 mile in diameter, includes ashoal of 10 fathoms, and well-defined rocky bottom within the center. The ground slopes graduallyfrom this to the edges, where are 40 fathoms. Beyond the depths of 28 to 30 fathoms the bottom isgravelly and smoother. This can be a cod ground in spring, and cod and hake are taken here aroundthe edges in fall and summer. Pollock are found about the shoal in summer. It really is a good lobsterterrain.

Theshoal lies toward the eastern part of the terrain and is a good springtime cod ground; also a pollockground in the fall and spring season. It is a night sportfishing ground for hake, by hand lining next tothe rocks during Sept . and October. Herring are abundant on this page usually in June and May. Itis a great lobster ground. Fishing is done by hand outlines and trawls.

Exterior Shoal. This ground is ESE from Monhegan Light about 2? miles. It is rounded in formcontributing to 1? miles throughout. Depths are from 10 to 38 fathoms. There is a small rocky shoalin the center of the ground; the remainder with this piece has a gravelly bottom. This is a codground from early spring to fall and a good pollock soil in September.

Depths are from 30 to 50fathoms, the shoalest water being on the eastern component, the shoal has a broken and rockybottom, but all of those other ground is gravelly and muddy. The principal fishes taken are cod andcusk in the fall, spring and summer. Only a few haddock are found here. Pollock are numerous insidethe fall, when they are taken by hand lining. Hake are abundant in October and September. June isthe best minn kota endura month, except as soon as the squid strike the floor in the fall. This reallyis mainly a small vessel ground, fished by trawls, hand lines and an increasing numberhttp://fishing.scout.com/ of gill nets.

Monhegan Outer Sou'Southeast. Three miles outside the Inner Floor on the same bearing and otherin size and form. The bottom is rocky and dirty or of challenging clay.

Its width is 1? miles, its length NNE and SSW is 1 1/4miles. It has a distinct, broken, rocky bottom part, including a small shoal of 20 fathoms and somehummocks of rather greater depths. The deepest h2o is in the neighborhood of 50 fathoms. Anglinghere is from Could until July for codfish and pollock: cusk and hake are in the serious water in thespring weeks and halibut around the shoal in Sept . and July. There exists considerable handupholster in September and October, even though this ground is principally fished by trawls.Gillnetting, too, has become more usual of later many years.

Harris Ground. From 15 miles S ? W from Monhegan island to 6 miles SSW. They have 40 to 50fathoms over a bottom part of sharp rocks and mud--a "blistery" underside. Cod, hake and cusk arefound here the entire year around. Halibut are here in July, June and August. Minn Kota Endura isactually by trawling and fingers lining, with almost no gillnetting.

Henry Gallant Ridges. The inner one particular lies 16? kilometers S. by E. of Monhegan Tropicalisle, extending in a NNE. and SSW. route, about 1 distance long by 1/4 mile wide. The exterior ridgelies about 1? miles farther from the island on the same displaying as the first and paralleling it andapparently is about the same dimensions. The bottom on both shoals is of gravel and black rockswith depths averaging 45 fathoms but rising from the 90 and 80 fathoms of the surrounding muddyground. Both these are year-close to cod grounds, the spring months, nevertheless, having Thelargest school. Cusk also are numerous on both shoals in the spring.

Mosers Ledge, also referred to as Middle Ground. This piece of shoal soil lies about midway betweenMonhegan Tropical island and Pemaquid and has a 3-fathom shoal in the eastern part the locationwhere the sea breaks in heavy weather. This shoal, called Mosers Ledge, is broken and rocky butslopes gradually for the SW., reaching 48 fathoms, with a base of gravel and mud on the deepestpart. The ground is approximately 2 miles long NE. and SW. and about 1 distance wide. It isexcellent ground for haddock and cod in the spring and for herring in June and other leading-schooling species of fish In their season. Mackerel occur in late August and September. It is alobster ground the year around.

Johns Go Ground. About 4 miles SSE. from Pemaquid Point. Depths are from 25 to 15 fathoms over asandy bottom, setting up a good cod floor in April and may even. The ground is of circular formabout 1 mile in diameter. Hand lines and trawls, along with some gill nets, are used on the beachsand shoal.

White Island Ground. This is ESE from White Tropical isle, from which its inner edge is remote ?mile and the outer edge about 4 miles. Of triangular outline, it is broadest at the outer conclusion. Itis very broken and uneven and has depths from 6 to 30 fathoms. About the shoal it is sharp, brokenrocks, 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 soft sandy bottom furnishes excellent fares of haddock in June and might. "Bobber trawling" isthe common method used within June. This terrain is fished mostly by small vessels and sloopsmaking use of hand lines and trawls.

Steamboat Terrain. Seven miles WSW. from Monhegan Tropical island; it is 3 kilometers long, NE.and SW, and ? mile wide. Its base 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 located here the year about but are most abundant in the fall. Haddock are present all thespring and fall; hake through the summer months; pollock in the fall. Cusk are most abundant in thespring. A certain amount of lobster minn kota endura is done right here.

Inner and Outer Boutens (Bootlegs). The interior ground lies 3 miles SW. from Monhegan Island. Itis about 1 mile long. NE. and SW., by 1/4 distance wide. It has a well-defined, rocky bottom, shoalestin the center, where are 25 fathoms, sloping gradually southwest and falling off all of a sudden onthe northeast aspect to the mud in 60 fathoms around the edges. , and cusk are here the seasonaround.haddock and Cod Hake occur in summer on the dirty edges. It is a fairly good lobster floor onthe shoal. The Outer Bouten is placed ? mile SW. from the Inner, separated from using it by a deep,muddy channel. It has a modest shoal of 30 fathoms rising instantly from the surrounding dirt.seasons and Seafood of their presence are as on Inner Bouten. Minn Kota Endura on these groundsis principally by hand line and trawl.

Seguin Sou'Sou'West Terrain. This ground lies SSW. from the european part of Seguin Isle, thecenter remote 4 miles. This is a rocky shoal, ? mile long by 200 yards wide, using a ? -acre shoal inthe center. Depths are 7 to 14 fathoms. This is certainly evidently a SSW continuation of the HillsideGround. 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 both a small-motorboat and a vessel soil and is a lobsterground the year close to.

Seguin Ground. This ground is SW. by S. from Seguin Island, distant about 7 miles to the center.About 4 miles very long. NE. and SW., and a little more than 2 miles wide in the widest component.There is a small hummock called Bumpers Island Ground on the upper end with depths of 13fathoms. Toward the to the south the bottom is gravelly and sloping, to ensure that on the middleand southern portions there are actually depths of 35 to 45 fathoms, even though the northernportion is mostly rocky. Cod, hake, and pollock are the principal fishes taken here and furnish someof the best fishing in this vicinity. Haddock are not common right here but are abundant around thesandy bottom for the westward in May and April. Trawl sport fishing and gill netting are done in thespring for hand and cod lining for cod and pollock in October. It is a tiny-vessel and boat groundalong with a winter lobster soil.
