Default Re: Offshore wind farms

Don't have any scientiffic data, just some first hand observation.
Several 6 pack charters I've been on.

July of '20 & '21 several years after construction. The fluke & sea bass fishing was outstanding within a couple hundred yards to a mile or two of the Block Island wind farm.

October & November '20 & '21. Outstanding blackfish results although we were within a couple miles of the farm. Don't ask me where.
I guess what I'm saying in agreement with Bob & others, --you build it the fish will come. I don't know anything about possible electrical current vibrations from underwater turbine cables, but the fishing was great.

Hopefully our incompetent bureaucrats ( State & Federal ) won't eff this up by restricting access when offshore wind turbines come to our area. I hope my grandkids get to fish near them with similar results to our RI trips.
Tight lines guys and stay safe.
