Yup, I've seen that before. I know a guy that has at least one more like that I'm sure he would be willing to deal on.

JR says that meteors fall there every night. There are new rocks there each day.

I've got plenty of props that look just like that. That's why I like aluminum ones. I'm saving them for a recycling payday.

IF you go to the Aucilla at night, you can use a spotlight and watch the rocks migrate and breed. baby rocks soon pop up during rock spawning season. they migrate into the river in the winter to spawn.

Rocks 1, Mercury foot 0

When the water is stained & dark, I go with at least 1.5'+ tides, stick to a few "RELATIVELY" safe routes and go with the, "Rocks? What rocks?" mindset.
Then when the waters clear the pucker factor goes way up as I hold my breath and motor over the 17 billion rocks while frantically trying to mark them all.
Then by the time the waters get stained again and I find the time to get back out on the water, I wonder what in the heck all the unnamed waypoints represent... fish or rocks?!

I understand the pucker factor. When the water is clear I have to take my polarized glasses off when I am running out of the river. Even though I look at the tides and know I'll be safe, it is still too scary to me to see all the rocks under me as I go out. The creeks are something else. I know where at least two of the rocks in the creeks are by now as you can see above.
The good news is that I will always know where some of the shallow rocks that warm the water around them in the cooler months are.

I like the rocks. Just think how many people it keeps out your fishing spots. I have fishing buddy's that will not go down there.

I think most of them are encrusted crab traps. I have been out there in a negative low with the yak, and there are probably 10 traps to every big rock.
