Invisible Rocks and Giant Lizards

[GregAndrew]

I have found that just about all published under water structure coordinates are off by at least a few hundred feet. Some by far more than that. The only good numbers I have seen are posted on dive forums. Try divebums.com.

I remember back in the late 60's early 70's they used to park fishing barges right on top of the reefs. They would run the fishermen out in skiffs, you could buy a half day ticket or full day ticket. We would fish the pier and watch the guys coming back in on the skiffs to see what they caught. I'm guessing they don't park the barges on top of the reefs anymore or they would be easier to find.

I fish there a lot and know exactly where the rocks are.




They're under the water...




Seriously though, I do know where they are. Let me know the next time you head there on a Saturday and I can show you where they are. They can be pretty good for the bass and the occasional halibut as well as the loner black sea bass, got about an 80lb'r out on the outer piles once.

I appreciate the offer! I'll make a post next time I plan on going and we can make a group out of it. Thanks!

I fished that area couple months ago, however it was the same deal. Couldnt find any reefs of anysort. I did run into couple small stones which produced small bass.

Also the numbers are often centered in the grid complex of reef mounds. The mounds also dont have much relief either w sand moving around.

I pedaled some wide circles, trying to locate any type of relief on the sonar. The most I could see was some very slight texture on the bottom, which would amount to a few bricks stacked up. My sinker hit some of this "texture" and when I wound up my hook had dark red plant on it. Im sure it could be a fishy area, but maybe the king tide and change in weather had everything spooked?
