About this book
Fishing Grounds of the Gulf of Maine lists geographical and historical material, descriptions of fishing grounds, catch tables, maps and an index to grounds. The description distinguishes the gulf from other bays on the eastern coast by the depth of its coastal waters. Duck Island Ridges are described as narrow rocky ridges running toward Boon Island, with depths from 25 to 30 fathoms.
The account of Duck Island Ridges identifies winter and spring grounds for cusk and haddock, with cusk remaining from April to October. The description records small boats, vessels, line trawlers and gillnetters operating on the grounds, which are used for lobster fishing.
