Imagine being a fish and having one of those loads come down on you. Like the movie " The last days of Pompeii ".

Better yet, hanging out in one of the many fishpots, only to be buried in it.

Does this mean more albies out there?

Some pretty solid bluefishing there this year from early August until......well, they still might be out there, Jamaica's last night trip two weeks ago hammered them. Hope this dump doesn't have a negative effect.

If anything, more structure should help.

Sure hope they discriminate where they dump. I assume they would. Went on the site for the coordinates and am hoping they are expanding the peripherals of the existing structures. Would be a shame if they dumped on the existing structure and kill the life. Been fishing the reef and there are lots wrecks and structures reasonably close.

Re: Rock To Be Deployed On Shark River Reef Site

They usually dump it in an open area by itself or near another area that already has structure... there is already ALOT of rock on that reef but anything that dumped in our water is a bonus n good for fishing. S E corner of reef could use it the most
