Enoch's Shoal -This shoal lies ENE. 3 miles from Great Duck Island. This is a small hummock on the outer parts of a ridge extending out to It from Great Duck island. It has a sharp, rocky bottom with depths of about I8 fathoms.

Hand lining and trawling are the methods employed to take a few cod in early spring; haddock are here in small numbers in the summer as well as a small quantity of hake. It is a good lobster ground.
