41 swing bridge

I see they are going to get the old bridge on a barge this week (tomorrow or Wednesday I think) and get it out to sea. It’ll be in the same quadrant as two other barges that were sunk for Grouper species. Is this the areas that were just recently closed tonfishing or an area where it was already a no go?

The bridge stuff is going to the Charleston Deepwater Memorial Reef. It is an MPA and is closed to bottom fishing. Trolling for pelagics there is allowed

So tell me; what happened to the money that the ones that only fish bottom paid in,where did it go ??? Hahaha , just trolling !!! [:0][:0]:wink::wink::wink:

When you see “Old Glory” waving in the breeze, know that it is the dying breaths of our fallen hero’s that makes it wave.

Not sure about current maintenance, but originally the deep reef was funded with private donations.

What about barge #2? Shouldn't bottom fishing be allowed, as it's a mile and a half outside the MPA?

They just reconfigured the MPA boundaries, I believe...

what the hell, let's go try it, I heard it's covered with desirable species.

They pulled the bridge this afternoon. How deep will it’s final resting place be?

I remember seeing 300 feet mentioned somewhere.

Saw this @ ■■■■■■■■■ Day vicinity Thursday AM.
