Default Chicken Ranch?

Is the Chicken Ranch the curved high spot just outsde and north west of the rock pile?

When I used to comercial fish we called this spot Nelson Island, is this the same spot?

I always thought that the Chicken ranch was the north end of the banks. Can anybody set me strait?

Thanks

The chicken ranch is 32+ miles from the Newport jaws. I haven't plotted the exact route on the chart, but if you head out toward the N end of the RockPile, hit the RockPile at about 16 miles, then keep going straight for another 16 miles, you are there.

Nelson's island is up North of Newport at about 25 miles if I remember right.

I could give a bit more precise answer if I had the chart in front of me.

Head 240M for 28 miles and you will be there. Nelson Is. is NW of the north end of Stonewall Bank. The banana is the banana looking chart fathom line NW of Stonewall bank inside of Nelson Is.
