Pasley Cove is a shallow coastal indentation located along the western Arctic coast of Nunavut, approximately six miles south-southeast of Cape Lambert. This remote, high-Arctic cove is characterized by its limited depth and notable navigational hazards, including a shoal that extends from its eastern entrance point. The surrounding landscape is typical of the Canadian Arctic Archipelago, with a history of use by Indigenous hunters and early explorers. As a tidal saltwater environment, fishing here is entirely dictated by the rhythms of the Arctic Ocean, with access and success heavily influenced by local bathymetry and extreme seasonal conditions.

The most prominent feature is the shoal extending from the east entrance point of the cove. This underwater structure is a classic spot to target, as it likely creates current seams, depth changes, and ambush points for predatory fish. The edges of this shoal and the deeper water just outside the cove's entrance are logical areas to focus effort.
