    So, once you’ve had your fill of fishing the grass flats behind the islands, you can find some decent bottom fishing on the ocean side a few miles east of the north tip of Chandeleur Island at the Fish Haven 12 artificial reef sites. Fish Haven 12 is actually 27 separate locations composed of sunken boats and barges, concrete rubble, concrete and steel culverts, etc. Depths range from 45-55 feet, and I’ve caught mangrove and red snapper, white trout, cobia, Spanish mackerel and various sharks here. I’m going to try to attach a complete report for this area, showing exactly where these spots are and what each reef site is composed of, including some color sonar images. It’s a large file, but hopefully it will be of use if you should get a chance to head a few miles offshore during your trip…
