About Dan Russell Pier Reef
Dan Russell Pier Reef is an artificial reef in federal Gulf waters off Panama City, Florida, at 30.0681, -85.9750. The site is a man-made structure on the open Gulf bottom, where placed material rises from the surrounding seafloor and creates relief that holds reef-associated fish. No depth reading is on file for this reef, so anglers should check local charts or electronics before setting up over the structure. No target species or seasonal peaks are recorded yet, and catches here reflect whatever the structure is holding on a given day. Like other artificial reefs off the Panhandle coast, it stands out as a fixed point of habitat in otherwise featureless Gulf water.
