Many different species of fish can be caught over or near artificial reefs. Reefs deeper than 200' are especially productive for large pelagic predators. Anglers can find amberjack, black, gag, warsaw, snowy grouper and giant jewfish among the reefs. Anglers should remember that grouper are very slow growing fish and conservation of this species is critical.

You do not need to be directly on top of a reef to benefit from it. Many species, including sailfish, kingfish, Spanish mackerel, barracuda, mutton snapper, and cobia use the artificial reefs as the center of their feeding forays. Cold, plankton-rich waters are forced by the Gulf Stream  up and over the top of the wreck. Often, in strong currents, an eddy can be seen on the surface, down current from an artificial reef. Gamefish often lurk in this "disturbed" water, feeding on baitfish and pelagic crustaceans.
