Gotcha. I agree. I SE Louisiana, they put a reef in open water of the sulphur Mine, an inland wintertime spot. They put it too deep and all anybody ever catches is a few drum.

Now in that case, their heart was in the right place because back when that lake was good, it was all deep fishing. Boats would be absolutely piled in there catching quality trout and lots of reds. But that deep hole has silted in and all of the pipe has been pulled.

There is a need to put these reefs much shallower. But that poses a nav hazard and is a lawsuit waiting to happen when a shrimper sinks his boat one night.

But there is a happy medium somewhere.
