Bob Quarles reef

[Hoos'ride]

the new bay reef off the the frt pickens gate area out in the bay, has completed the addition of the GB Bridge decking being placed on top of the BP concrete anchors.

I am told, that it has provided an INCREDIBLE ledging type reef that should be a great asset to our area fishery. To me this sounds unprecidented in a shallow water area reef and I am anxious to see what results this reef produces!

I've seen them in other bays, and heard that before a particular hurricane a few years ago, that lobsters were pretty frequent closer-in to shore around Pensacola.

They're prolific breeders. If we could get them established inshore we'd all be eating well.

If you build it, they will come.
