Rabbit Island still exists but not as large as most of these maps will show. Most of the time under water and yes it can produce very good in late summer and fall. The reefs you're seeing on your gps are mostly gone or been flatten out by recent hurricanes. BUT there are remnants still there waiting to bust up a lower unit! BE careful running this area. Fishermen run through this area going to Eugene Isl rigs for specks. You will se anywhere from 7 ft to 3ft of water over those reefs. The next set of reefs going south would be the Nickel; this reef will expose at low tide. Give wide berth to this reef if running further. There is another reef SE of the Nickel that we call Lil Nickel. This reef tends to be deeper and much smaller but again some of this will expose during a low tide. The Nickel reef has no fish at any time of the year! Just keep on goin south to hit the rigs......
