Murre Hub.  This lies WSW. from Small Point, the center distant 10 3/4 miles and 3 miles SW. from Seguin.  This ground is 3 miles long.  N. and S., with an average width of 1 1/2 miles.  Depths are from 34 to 45 fathoms.  The inner parts are shoalest, and the bottom there is sharp rocks and broken ground.  From this the ground slopes gradually to the south, where the bottom is sand and gravel.  Cod are here from spring to October; hake from June to October; and haddock are present during the winter season.  Fishing is almost entirely by trawling.

Mistaken Ground.  This ground bears N. from the center of New Ledge. from which it is distant about 10 miles; from Portland Lightship Se. 1/2 S 21 miles to the edge and 22 miles to the shoal water.  It is 8 miles long in an E. and W. direction and 5 miles wide.  Depths are from 45 to 100 fathoms, both the shoalest and the deepest soundings being on the western part, where the bottom is mostly rocks and boulders.  There is said to be a small shoal “peak” of 35 fathoms here.  Over the greater part of the ground the bottom is of rocks and gravel.  In proportion to its size this ground is nearly as important as New Ledge, being resorted to by the same species of fish at the same seasons and being visited by the same type of craft, with a larger number of the small crafts operating here and the larger vessels fishing here principally during the worst of the winter weather.

The fishing is by hand line, trawl, and gill netting, with a lessening use of the hand line and an increase in the use of this ground by the gill-net fleet.  Cod and cusk are taken here from May to July and through October and November, the cod predominating on the ridgy bottom in the deep water, on the western and northwestern side.  Hake are also found here in the winter.  Haddock are fairly abundant from December to March.  There are usually many pollock on the shoal in fall and winter.

Tag Ground.  Between Broken Ground and Seguin Island, ESE. from Seguin, distant 5 miles.  A narrow rocky ridge 2 miles long, in a NNE. and SSW. direction, with an uneven bottom and depths from 14 to 30 fathoms.  Principally a summer small-boat ground fished by hand lines, trawls, and gill nets.  Cod are found here the year around.  Haddock are abundant in the winter, hake in the summer months, and the pollock are here also in the summer season when “top schooling.”  Cusk are found in the deep water all the year.

Outer Kettle, also known as Kettle Bottom.  The center of this ground bears S. from Seguin Island, from which the northern edge of the ground is distant 10 miles.  Its length is 12 miles in a N. and S. direction, and its width 10 miles, thus being roughly circular in forum.  It is an uneven piece of bottom consisting of rocks, gravel, and mud.  The depths range from 25 to 75 fathoms.  This is one of the best fishing grounds on this part of the coast.  Cod are the most abundant fish and are taken the year around.  Haddock are plentiful in the winter months and cusk are present all the year in the 50-fathom depths.  Fishing here is by trawl, hand line, and gill nets operated by small boats, sloops, and, in the rougher weather of the winter, larger vessels, which visit it also, generally to make one “set” at a season when a “fish day” (one on which it is possible to fish) is the exception.
