7 AM Mobile Bay. Austil Reef

[Niner]

Went fishing today. Good day.

Are the posts to indicate where the reef is located Robert?

I took a sea related snap at the weekend, this is Craster harbour in Northumberland.

The tide is out and the rock reef near the harbour entrance is in full view.

Those posts mark the edges of the reef, as you notice, Joe. The reef consists of oyster shells and all sorts of man made rubble. It's better to anchor on the edges. Generally the down wind side is best. The ship channel in the dead center of the bay is off to the right by about a good two thirds of a mile. The reef itself is about three miles off shore from the Western bank.



Saw something unusual the trip before last. Looked like a bridge inspection. It's under that bridge you go to get to the reef in the other pictures.

Looks like a specialist vehicle/cherry picker. I wouldn't like to be in that bucket myself !
