Thread: What structure??

Was fishing while I was down the week of the tropical storm. Fishing about 2-300 yards east of the broken road in Ft. Morgan. Noticed these out in the surf. What are they?

I don't know what the structure was for, but there used to be several pilings driven there.

There are cypress stumps and knees a little farther east, but I don't think that's them.

Edit: There's a large (135' x 20') structure visible 275 yds east of the road on the latest Google Earth. It is large enough to be concrete, maybe an old pier.

Here is an image. Older Google Earth only showed the round posts.

Thank you I appreciate that. !!

Overview and corrected length.

Well, the length is not corrected on the pic., but I estimate it about 135 feet long.

15 or 20 years ago, we fished those structures. For flounder. That road was rough, but not near rough as it is now. A couple of years after that, we couldn't find it and decided that our enjoyment of adult beverages had confused us about where the structure was. There was good fishing around it, and some structure below the surface where you snagged easily, but it was fun. Wish I knew why we didn't see it the next time we went.

Based on Google Earth I would say ot was shifting sand. This most recent picture is the only one that shows the big structure in the last 25 years.

Here it is in 2012.

2006 it is under the beach sand.

Shipwreck?
