  • I had the opportunity to come about the 165' Maranatha II to deploy Super Reefs off of the Alabama coast in the Gulf of Mexico. There were 12 of these huge reefs that will soon become part of Alabama's ever growing artificial reef system that provides so much for the area.
    CORRECTION: Ropes are actually moved immediately after deployment.

    I am glad Alabama is investing in and preserving our hunting and fishing. As a warship designer I loved seeing the equipment rooms of that old ship. That old stuff was built simple but strong. Thats why shes still sailing. Thanks for sharing.

    Wow, your channel has really evolved man! You don't remember me, I was Funky Monk among other user names, but I watched you a lot a few years ago when you were doing your kayak trips on the rivers and creeks and camping. Well, you inspired inspired to "Get out there" and now I'm finally doing it. I have a channel now with very few views lol, but that's totally not why I'm doing it. It wasn't planned, but I fell in love with making videos as I adventure full time. I've even given you a shout out or two! Thanks for helping me get off that couch. You actually helped me change my life.

    The black bands are from “banding” and just means you need to tweak your camera settings. Maybe a better lens/camera setup. Good video.

    Trip, did you ask what the cost was for a private reef would be?

    • @TripSmith
      @TripSmith  2 роки тому

      I did. It depends on which one you want. The chicken coops are a few hundred a piece, but you need to do a bunch of them. You can't just do one.
      The Super Reefs are many thousands

      @@TripSmith will do, wish we could have more AR’s in SW FL where we fish but it is a very complicated process that the state has to oversee. Alabama allows folks to build private reefs so long as they comply with the eco regs and pay a small fee
