The small shoal falls off rapidly on all sides. It has a depths of 30 fathoms. Over a space 1/4 mile in diameter the bottom is gravelly. Seasons and species are as on Inner Horse Reef. (ln spring and fall this is a good cod ground. Hake are found close to the edge in summer. Fishing is by small craft, generally. using trawl and handline. It is a good lobster ground.) |
