What’s the penalty for sinking them 40-50 miles out to make your own reef?

you’d have to go 200 miles to get out of US govt jurisdiction. Federal prison and heavy fines (per day) would await you if you did that

There is an artificial reef program you can use but it’s a bitch

Off the coast of orange beach they sink chicken coops often. They act as reefs. I’m sure there’s a long bureaucratic permit that’s goes with it tho

All of the shallow Main pass wells are scheduled to be pulled, along with east bay, and the deep (300’) SP 67/70 platforms.

They are going to ruin triple tail fishing as we know it.

Alabama is light years ahead of us on developing Private/Public Reef systems. It is a shame we can't get anything similar to be even considered in Baton Rouge.

So let’s pretend that someone had a few salvage offshore boats.
Motors removed, fuel tanks removed.

Tell me you have a camp on False River, without telling me you have a camp on False River.

Who would know, just do it.

I’m thinking hard about creating reefs with whatever I can get my hands on. I’ve been watching some insta videos of people sinking the trunk section and a few large limbs of trees. And weighing them down. Would be great to have that tall structure floating, but I’d imagine it would get swept away in a hurricane even in 200ft of water.

This videos were in Mexico so idk if trees would attract snapper, but it would be a cheap option if so

Edit, just googled doing this and AI is telling me worms would eat the wood within months if I did manage to keep it on the bottom

Since this one seems to be fun to dream about, I have formulated a solution…..

Sailboat.

They are cheap as shite.

Alls I need is someone who knows how to sail one.
