Fishing Grounds of the Gulf of Maine

Seguin Sou'Sou'West Ground .-This ground lies SSW. from the western part of Seguin Island, the center distant 4 miles. It is a rocky shoal, ½ mile long by 200 yards wide, with a ½-acre shoal in the center. Depths are 7 to 14 fathoms.

This is evidently a SSW continuation of the Hill Ground. It is fished by small boats for rock cod by hand-lining. Trawling is done in March for cod, and this is also a cod ground in April. It is both a small-boat and a vessel ground and is a lobster ground the year around.

Marks: Elwells Rock touching the western side of Seguin, and Fullers Rock touching the southern part of Bald Head.
