About Haney Technical College Reef

Haney Technical College Reef is an artificial reef in federal Gulf waters off Panama City, Florida, at coordinates 29.9255, -85.9918. The site sits in the open Gulf beyond state waters, where placed structure breaks up an otherwise uniform seafloor. That structure gives reef-associated fish cover and a fixed point to hold on, which makes the exact coordinates the key to working the spot. No depth is on record for this reef, so anglers rely on electronics to locate the structure and read its profile on arrival. No target species are documented for this site yet, so observations from each trip help build a clearer picture of what the reef holds through the seasons.
