hey, isn't that the boat that was lost in the Bermuda Triangle and profiled on the Discovery channel?! [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

Yup . . . it disappeared in the bermuda triangle via the twilight zone directly to the bottom of narragansett bay 100 years later.

The funny (or sad depending on how you look at it) thing is that a lot of the locals have known about this for some time and that NOAA just found out. A few locals on my bass boards have noted they've know of that for years and that there are a few others NOAA apparently doesn't know about...

Yo John

Being unfamiliar with your waters and fish habitats, do any form of Marine Denizens other than growth hang out on that baby like the Grouper, Snapper, Amberjerks and Permit do here on the Florida Wrecks

Chuck,
I'll jump in for John. That wreck will hold plenty of baitfish and in turn lure in the striped bass, bluefish, and maybe even fluke (summer flounder), black seabass and tautog (blackfish). This wreck is up inside a bay, but if it was in open, deeper water there could be cod and haddock too.

What Scott said [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

That is shallow water and about 7 miles from the ocean (actually Rhode Island Sound). In the winter time it's probably dead as a doornail but come spring, add squid, maybe some mackeral, herring, menhaden (then again maybe not menhaden) some lobsters, japanese nuclear spider crabs... Not much predator fish call it home othern than maybe tog for a month til they move.

The Bay is fairly dead in the winter, too cold for algae so no plankton, and no planton to tiny bait fish, no predators on them...

Be a helluva place to YoYo a bunker in late June [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
