l. West from The Gully; E. from Seguin. This is a
spring gill-net ground. Mostly a cod ground.

Pollock Hub. This ground lies SE. from the lightship 6 to 8 miles and
13 1/2 miles S. from Cushings Island bell buoy. It is a rocky piece of
bottom, having about 29 fathoms over it. It is about 1/2 mile across and
is fished by hand line, trawl, and gill net, but is mostly a summer
hand-line spot. It is a good cod ground in the spring and good for
pollock in their season. Between this and Trinidad (SE. by S. from
Pollock Hub 3 miles) is a fishing ground for haddock in January and
February, on a broken bottom, in depths of from 40 to 60 fathoms. This
is both a small-boat and a vessel ground fished by hand line, trawl, and
gill nets.

Trinidad. Six miles SE. by S. 1/2 S. from the lightship off Portland.
It is about 2 miles long by 3/4 mile wide, lying in a NNE. and SSW.
direction. In general, the bottom is muddy and depths are from 40 to 50
fathoms, except for a shoal about 14 mile across on the northeastern end
of the ground, where there is a depth of 32 fathoms over a sharp, rocky
bottom.

Haddock are present here in good numbers in February and March. Cod are
taken here in gill nets during the summer months, and hake are fairly
abundant in the spring over the deeper parts; a few cusk are taken at
the same season and in the same depths as the hake are found.

Fire Ground. This ground is E. by S. from the lightship 10 miles. It is
a ridge of rocky and gravelly bottom having depths of 35 to 50 fathoms.
Its length is 2 miles and its width 1 mile.

Cod and cusk are here the year around, the cod being most abundant in
the spring. Haddock are here in February and March: hake are in the deep
water on the edges in summer. Fishing here is by hand line, trawl, and
gill nets operated by small boats and vessels, the larger craft visiting
this ground mostly in the winter, when offshore grounds may not permit
of the fishing because of weather conditions. Marks: Bradbury Mountain
on Jaquish: Long Reach Mountain (in Quahog Bay) just to westward of
Wooded Mark Island, "the length of an oar."

Cod Ledges. These are a succession of rocky patches extending 4 1/2 miles
in an ENE. and WSW. direction, with a width of about 1/2 mile. The
southwestern end bears SE. 3/4 S. from Portland Head Light. distant 4
3/4 miles. The northwestern extremity lies 6 or 7 miles ESE. from
Portland Head light. The shoalest parts have from 14 to 18 feet of water
