Man...if you could hear all the illegal ideas the fishermen of southern New Jersey come up with to use FADs...wow...
Guys are so hyped by them...one group was trying to engineer a slightly submerged one that they could release to the surface on weekends and fish it...then reset it deeper when done...
...bet they got set back to reality after talking with some experienced marine engineers....
Where I am...floating debris holding fish can become a battleground for some of the weekend warriors who either feel they own the ocean or feel that courtesy is for sissies.
