Yes, the oyster reefs still exist. The center reef on your display is about where Nickel reef is located. There are reefs extending from the SE tip of MI which are the remnants of Shell Keys. Many of the reefs are just submerged at high tide and several are awash by 2ft or more at low tide. I am new to inshore fishing in the area and have only made a run out there once late last summer. Used live shrimp, live pogey, and fished on credit and only caught gafftops. I did fish them near low tide. I think it would have been better fishing on the rise/high tide. Those reefs should be heating up soon.
