Fishing Grounds of the Gulf of Maine
Rose and Crown Shoal. - This is a small piece of ground 7 miles ESE. from Sankaty Head. The fishing area lies between the Round Shoal and Rose and Crown buoys, making a stretch perhaps 6 miles long by 1 1/2 miles wide. Sometimes good fishing may be had from 6 to 12 mile, from Great Round Shoal bouy.
As elsewhere on and about these shoals, the cod is the principal species caught, pollock being next in importance, and a few haddock.
