NEWS OUT OF.... MAYPORT VILLAGE:
I know ya'll may not ever fish offshore and care about the artificial reef system that's our counties aquatic park off our beaches. But it can benefit all anglers.
Especially, since we're all going to be taking it on the chin from this day on, when it comes to the fight for the right to fish!
Jacksonville Anglers and the Jacksonville Offshore Sport Fishing club's roots were building the first artifical reefs off the First Coast.
So with that said, while you're sitting around behind the keyboard. Take just a second to help make that bruise on the chin a bit less painful.
Send a simple email to the Jaxport Board of directors. And tell them, you support making the BlackBeard Ferry Boat a new reef, offshore.
"DON'T SCRAPE IT.....MAKE IT A NEW ENVIRONMENT!!
Here's more info from the Jacksonville Offshore Sport Fishing Club "pioneers in artificial reef building" email:
We have a chance to get the old Ferry, the Blackbeard to dunk as a reef off Jacksonville. It wouldn’t hurt to E-mail the Jax Port Board of Directors to express an interest in making a reef out of it. Below is a link to the Board. Express the 50 years of reef building that the JOSFC has done, and the over $600 Million in revenue that sport fishing brings into the Greater Jax. Area EVERY YEAR, and ask that they consider donating it for a reef.
