I've fished Barnett for 12-15 years in my own boat and NEVER hit a piece of rebar that hurt my boat. Only time I ever messed my hull up, was at Grenada. I hit something just out from Redgrass in shallow water and gouged a hole in it. I idle, then take out of gear, put it back in gear, then back out on Barnett in a few places. That and stay in the channel when running. Just have to be careful
