Yes I/we see fish all the time at all depths although the species change as you get deeper. They like "structure" as fishermen call it and this thing-whatever it is-fits the bill of course although man-made.

Senter Cove Guy and I routinely see cusk at depths generally between 60 and 100 feet. They are usually solo but once in a while I'll see 2 or 3 near each other.

They are not particularly afraid of divers as I have touched them before and only then did they move.

The biggest cusk I ever saw I filmed with an ROV at approx. 104 feet down off the west side of Bear not too far from the Post Office.

Check out this cusk at approx. 5 seconds in. I estimate it at at least 3 feet long if not a bit more. The ROV got right in his face and only then did he swim off.
