Fishing Grounds of the Gulf of Maine

East Cashes Ridge Due E. from the buoy on Ammens Rock about 12 miles lies a ridge that rises from the 100 to 120 fathom depths about it to a depth of about 80 fathoms over a bottom of broken ground, mud, and shells. This shoaler piece is some 3 miles long. N. by E. and S. by NW., by 1 mile wide.

It furnishes good fishing for cod, hake, and cusk in the spring, April being the best season.
