NRP Question

[boondoggle]

I towed a RR crosstie to Gibson Island from just south of the Baltimore lighthouse Monday evening. Thankfully, I came off plane to negotiate a large crusiers wake and saw it in my path.

If it had been floating, I would have towed it in. It appears to be either jamed in the rocks, or it's several pieces of the pier in maybe an "L" shape with one end sticking up. Most people who know the area go VERY slowly directly over the top of the lighthouse base. I did have to yell at one guy who was slow trolling by himself and looking at his rods and not paying much attention to his direction.
It's been in the water long enough now that you can see it's full of algae and rope may have slipped right off.
Personally, I can't imagine why DNR hasn't marked the spot with a marker over the years. I have been boating out of the Bodkin for about 20 years and I have personally watched several boats running at planning speeds come to a very abrupt stop. Heaven only knows how many lower units are down there.

If you mark it with a jug; it will only get moved by the crabbers. Gary, YES, and yes. Always, bring a Chardonay on the boat.
