Additional Information
this site is continuously fished on, with many jagged edges and outcrops in wreck, fishing line constantly gets snagged and wrapped tightly around corals, soft corals, and especially sponges. I use sea snips to carefully remove excess line. some cannot be removed without damaging corals, so I must leave it.
fishing hooks and sinkers
