Point, with 20 stands. Lupton represented the southerfi end of the 
sound, Brant Island and Point of Marsh the western and central parts, 
Gull Rock the northwestern side, and Portsmouth the eastern part.

stations were omitted from the weekly visitation, and this was 
because of adverse weather conditions when very little fishing was 
carried on even by pound netters.
