Jalopies Used As Fish Lures
The Texas Fish and Game Commission and coastal state commissions propose using junked cars as artificial reefs. Six hundred old auto bodies are sunk six miles off Freeport in 60 feet of water, attracting seaweed, small fish, and larger sport fish. The site is marked with lighted buoys to guide boat captains and protect shipping traffic. This creates a market for junked cars and provides fishing opportunities.
