I've seen that pick, I imagine it was one of the guys that guides offshore for grouper and puts in at Ecky. I believe that you have to get a special permit to do it. They have lots of laws in place to keep people from just dumping stuff.

I always thought "reef balls" was what it takes for someone to go over an oyster bar in 6 inches of water at WOT.
