I grew up on Vbay and always considered the Trash Pile a little west of those coordinates. I learned it from the ole timers I fished with back in the day when we didn't know what a GPS was. We used to draw a line from the salt mine on weeks island to the second marker (#18) out of the commercial canal, and center yourself halfway between that marker and mud point. The problem with this today is that mud point is nearly 1/4 mile shorter. Anyway, the stumps are nearly gone, but there still irregularities on the bottom that you will pick up with your sonar. I picked them up on Monday, when we stopped there for a little while. I think the exact location has always been debated. Most just fish where the rest of the boats are, so it's the first guy's fault if it's the wrong place!
