In all fairness, "wreck fishing" has become a generic term used to describe any type of rough bottom fishing.

the true "wrecks" out there that are inshore and accessible get picked over quickly these days. Not many secrets left.

The dumping grounds/artificial reefs are really pretty similar to a wreck.. Lots of marine life attached to rubble, hiding places,baitfish etc.

I don't have a problem with that term being used.
However, I understand what you are saying. Its been a while since a bottom fishing boat I was on was fishing on an actual "wreck".

The grounds being fished these days, have room and available life to accommodate a lot more pressure than a wreck does..
A wreck can get cleaned out pretty quick by a few visits from a party boat.

A series of reefs that are 3000-4000 acres across has better chance of standing up to the extreme fishing pressure thats being brought to bear in the modern age... bob
