If it were me I would permit them in Alabama. If you call Alabama they will drive to you, normally within a few hours of your call, and you are ready to go the next day. You don't have to go through 90% of the BS that Escambia County puts you through, and its not too much more of a run to drop them in Alabama waters. You run right over LAARS West while running to Alabama, so you might find some new spots while in route, and your reefs will be in much more productive waters. Just my $.02
