APPENDIX. 231 
(6) A good spot for pollack on the ebb is found by 
getting the two lamps on the lifeboat pier at the Great 
Western Docks in line with the spire of the Catholic 
Cathedral, and the Smeaton Tower on the Hoe over the 
west end of West Hoe Terrace. 
(7) Another excellent ground for large pollack and 
pouting a couple of hours before high water: Get the 
clock of the Victualling Yard between the two pillars at 
the entrance of the coastguard station at Devil’s Point, 
and the flagstaff on the Hoe in the centre of West Hoe 
Terrace. 
(8) The Mezstone : There is good whiffing for pollack, 
with occasional bass, all round this rock throughout the 
summer, early morning being the best time. Beyond 
the Mewstone to the eastward is a group of rocks known 
as the “Slimers,” and just south of these is one, of the 
best spots in the neighbourhood for large bream; best 
time, half tide. : 
(9) The Shagstone: A rock standing by itself between 
the breakwater and the Mewstone, easily found by the 
beacon on it. 
(9) The Breakwater: There is some fishing from a 
boat anchored just outside the east end of the break- 
water on the flood tide, rather heavy leads being 
necessary. At the west end of the breakwater is a good 
spot for large pollack and sometimes bass, also outside 
on the rocky shoal between the Knap and Panther 
buoys. 
(10) The Knap Deep: This consists of a bed of rocks 
bordering the Horn Channel, and rising a fathom or two 
above the bottom. It lies about 600 yards eastward of 
the Knap Buoy, which should be brought in line with 
Kingsand, and the edge of the platform of the break- 
water lighthouse against the casement of the Stonehouse 
battery. This is also a first-rate night ground for conger. 
Unfortunately, this ground lies right in the way of 
vessels entering and leaving the Sound, so that a con- 
spicuous mast-head light must be used. 
(11) ‘The Zinker Shoal, another pollack ground: It is 
marked by a buoy at either end, known respectively as 
the East and West Tinker, outside east end of Break- 
water.
