Fishin' Hole Reef #2 and #3

I just got off the phone with Hugh Carberry, Reef Coordinator/Principle Biologist for the D F&W.
He gave us 2 "Patch Reefs" for our donation.
I was able to pick them from a chart he sent me.
A patch reef is a cluster of objects designated as a reef unto itself.
I chose two cluster of 3 tanks each!!!
I want to thank Jim for doing the up-front leg work on this project. Hats off to him.
We will be in the 3rd edition of the Reef book due out later this summer. Plus we will be getting two more Plaques!!!
Here's is the chart with the positions marked.

Very cool, congrats Larry.

Congrats Larry!!!Will we be Stocking them with Halibut?

That is awesome, congrats!

Not congrats to Larry but
CONGRATS TO ALL THAT DONATED AND MADE IT POSSIBLE!!!

Looks good. I cant wait to catch some fish off of them.

wow... great job!

That is great news Larry - are these pre-existing patch reefs or newly established tank deployments as a result of our reef fundraising efforts.

They are pre-existing that were put down without specific funding. They will not be putting anything on BLR for another 2-3 years. So I took what we could get.
At least it's not a long run to fish it!!

larry,
will you be getting gps #'s for these?

Yes, as soon as I get the plaques.

That it awesome. Great job Larry and all the contributors.

can we send Shawn out to salvage our tanks and put them in our secret PUNTA GORDA location.....

We do have the capabilty. Who would fund such an undertaking...? You Mike? I promise to give you a break!

I Just noticed this Shawn, ha ha, yep i'll fund it but only if you sink a few extra things for me....and no you cant see whats in those garbage pails with the poured concrete.....

Do you have any extra room in those cans for my little sweetie? ...RR

Way to dump this topic down the tubes

Dave

You have no idea how many of us coasties are here!!!!

oh man. there coming out of the closet now! lets see in the NAVY we had boats, in your coast guard you guys have cutters, what exactly is a cutter? (sounds like a food prep product) lol, just kidding......

cutter; it's armed, it's fast, and yes, they DO throw lead HARD lol...

I just got word from Hugh Carberry at the Div of F & W that the plaques for the Barnegat Light Reef donation is in.
He'll be shipping them today!!!

Thats Great, Congrats Larry, BFH!!

This just came via email

They look great Larry. They will be a nice addition to the office. You can hang them next to the poster of Betty Grable. I know you remember her!!

Jim: Believe it or not - I dated Arlene Grable in high school!!!!!

Did she have legs like her sister. Here goes another one down the tubes. I'm going to bed before it gets worse.

Yeah, that's like her.
But I met her through boating so she didn't have a suit!!

In your wildest dreams.

Call me Harry James...
