Seguin Ridge.  This ridge is SSW. from Seguin Island, distant 5 miles.  Four miles long.  ESE. and WSW by 1/2 mile wide.  There are a number of small rocky spots—­hummocks of 9 to 14 fathoms in depth.  In general 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 is a good cod ground in the fall and also a lobster ground.  A few pollock are seined here in the spring.  Fishing is by hand lines, gill netting, and trawling.  Marks:  Pond Island Light on the eastern spur of Seguin; Wooded Mark Island on Bald Head (Small Point).

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

McIntire Reef.  This reef is SSW. from Bald Head (Cape Small Point).  The distance to the center is 4 1/2 miles.  This is 2 miles long.  NE. and SW., by 1/2 mile wide.  Marks are Yarmouth Island Hill over Mark Island and Pond Island Light on the northern part of Fullers Rock.  This reef is very broken and hummocky and has a rocky bottom and depths from 14 to 20 fathoms.  A shoal of 7 fathoms is on the northwest part, where there is good hand-lining for cod.  It is a good lobster ground.  Just east of this ground is a piece of bottom composed of hard mud and shells where hake usually are abundant in summer.

Seguin Hub.  This lies SSE. 5 1/2 miles from Seguin Light.  There is a collection of half a dozen small hummocks rising from the 65 or 70 fathoms of the surrounding muddy bottom to 30 or 35 fathoms of rocky bottom.  These are hand-line spots.  Species and seasons are as on Seguin Ground, except that a great proportion of hake are taken here on mud from 60 fathoms down.  It is a cod ground in spring and summer.  Marks:  Hunnewell Point Woods on Seguin; Damariscotta Hill over Damariscove Island.

Cow Ground.  Nearly SW. from Bald Head, the center distant 6 1/2 miles.  This is nearly 4 miles long in a NE. and SW. direction and 1 1/2 miles wide.  The northeast portion is rough and rocky and has depths from 16 to 18 fathoms.  On the southwest part gravel and stones predominate, and the bottom slopes off to 20 or 30 fathom depths.  Trawling and hand-lining are the principal methods employed here, but there is an increasing amount of gill netting.  Cod and pollock are the principal fishes taken here, mainly in the spring.  This is a lobster ground from November to April.
