Safety Hazard

[fishfighter]

any one know some one in wild life and fisheries that can get some rocks flagged or marked some how? there are 2 piles of rocks out the mouth of a canal in vermillion bay that disappear at high tide, i don't have gps coordinates but the rocks are between blue point and mud point, would hate to hear of an accident in this area, rocks were visible when we passed at low tide but didn't see them after the tide came up, there is a tree branch sticking out of them like some one tried to mark the location


may be at one of these 2 gps coordinates

29.767987, -91.865818


29.771069, -91.863782

Jopete can still catch fish, i just don't want him to get hung up on someone's lower unit or a whole boat

Those rocks I belive are a part of the costal erosion plan, I hink they are actually concrete, they are pretty close to the bank .

they may be a part of the erosion plan, but they are at the mouth of what seems to be a navigable canal probably 20 yards off the bank, i didn't have time to get too close to see how deep the water was around them, the reef they "installed" between cypremort and blue point is not a hazard but it is well marked, this one is a hazard and is not marked

LDWF says it isn't their problem, i need to call Coast Gaurd

They used to have a post marking it, it was a pipeline crossing

[wishin i was fishin]

here are some maps showing the rocks. They use to be 50 yards inland. Each year they get further and further out.

there are some old posts that are hazards straight out from there around 100 yards or so that will ruin your day as well
