I'm sorry to hear that they pulled em all out. A friend was there a few years before I moved(05) throwing a rattle trap around the posts when he got a hard strike. There was a copper colored flash over 2 feet long and it turned and headed north, never to be slowed down. It seems Redfish like Traps too, he never slowed it down and it spooled the reel he was using while he tried to get moving. Sorry to hear those days are gone. I've heard of the barge but can't help with any coordinates. Good luck with finding them.
