Are these wrecks open to being fished? If so, that's too bad because we know exactly what will happen.

Yes, open for fishing but no buoys to make it TO easy.
 
Ophelia Brian is 210' and while not the biggest, it is up there with a good group as one of the largest. By the way Ophelia Brian, Deep Freeze and Ultra Freeze were all built by J.J. Sietas in Hamburg, Germany thus making them sister ships.

Sorry, that's not technically accurate. Ships are generally considered to be sisters if they are the same type/class launched by the same builder around the same time frame. You wouldn't really call the aircraft carrier USS GEORGE H.W. BUSH and the submarine USS NEW MEXICO sister ships, even though they were both built in the same year by the same company in Newport News, VA. As mentioned before, the "Freezes" were reefers (and while similar they were not identical) while the newly-named O.B. was general cargo.
 
Thanks Mike, I'll pass the clarification along . . .

Hope to get out for the double dip this Saturday, last week the winds picked up and morning trip was called off.
 
Are the GPS coordinates of this new wreck still top secret or can someone post them?

Sorry, in the rush I forgot to get GPS coordinates :(
