Pirate harbor Hole / reef is the second most well known place for Harbor Tarpon,
what is not generally known Is Charlotte Harbor has a lot of Shrimp Trawler working it.
If a trawler get some thing in it's net they will haul it out of the way, either
to the reef or to the Pirate Harbor Hole, So over the years there has been a lot of debris,
dumped there, Occasionally some one will Try to build their own reef,
maybe washing machine or just sink an old boat, If the shrimpers snag it in the nets,
It get moved so they do not have to deal with that again.
It is not a legal reef just a place where things have been put
for ? 60 years or so.   26 47.766  082 06.098
