stobs in folly creek on island point

Saltwater Inshore Discussion
1

They are just off of the southern most point of the first island in the middle of folly creek. They are about 2-3 feet or so long and about two inches thick or around and there are a bunch of them. They are in the mud right off the point and visible at low tide. Anyone know what they are for?

I’m thinking they are part of a S.C.O.R.E oyster reef. If you look at the other end of the island at low tide you can see the oyster shell filled gabion baskets. Most likely part of the same project, but you could check with the DNR.

i thought it was for oysters but they have been there a while and i dont see no oysters so i was rethinking what it could be for.

I have always wondered what they are.

probably a commercial oyster lease attempt at regrowth- they’ve been there a while. an old technique is to dip sticks in concrete, which allows a hard enough surface for spat to attach during the summer oyster spawning season. once the sticks are covered in oyster growth, the clumps get heavy enough to slough off with the concrete shell, and then they begin forming a reef if they don’t sink into the mud. the sticks just rot away over time after the concrete is gone.

in that instance, i don’t think it really worked.

You are right barbawang, it is a commercial oystermens leased mariculture area

Should be some Reds around those poles! Hard to get out without getting cut off, but good spot.
