Eagle Island Ground.  This lies S. from Halfway Rock 2 miles.  It has a rocky bottom with 20 to 25 fathoms.  It is a good cod ground the year around, fished mainly by hand line; there is little trawling here and only a small amount of gill netting.

Flat Ledge; Temple Ledge.  Two miles SW. of Bald Head, Cape Small Point, rises a piece of rocky ground from the 20-fathom depths surrounding it.  Over the shoal in the center are 5 fathoms, and from this the water deepens on all sides, there being 16 fathoms on the deepest part of the ledge and an average of 20 fathoms about it.  The rocky bottom is about 1 1/2 miles long, NE. and SW., by about 3/4 mile wide.  The ledge and the hard bottom about it make good gill-netting grounds for cod in the spring months.  On the ledge a considerable amount of hand-lining fur cod and pollock is carried on in late May and through June.  In the normal seasons of the mackerel fishery this is a good ground on which to seine these fish in June.  July, and August.  It is also a good lobster ground and is a haddock ground in July and August.  Marks:  Wallace House in Bald Head Cove on the western edge of Bald Head; Flag Island and the eastern Brown Cow Into line.

The Gully:  Mark Island Gully.  Bring Seguin over Fullers Rock, 6 miles from Mark Island.  This gully lies inside The Elbow.  The bottom is sandy on the shoal parts, where there are 50 fathoms; broken and rocky in the deep water in 70 fathoms; and muddy on the edges.  It is a good lobster grounds.

Haddock are taken here in the spring months by trawling; cod are taken on trawl and in gill nets during February and March and from Augusta to November.  Hake are taken during June, July and August by the sane methods as are used in catching the other species.

New Meadows Channel.  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.
