RE: Pensacola Reef builders
I have had alot of experience with reefs in the last 10 years and its my opinion that the concrete reefs (pyramids) work well because of their weight although when deployed close (100' of water or less) are prone to being covered up. I place 2 in about 80 feet of water out of Orange Beach in 04 and after Katrina there were about 2' of the top out of the sand. I had a buddy dive the area and see what he could see. Thats what he told me but I didnt see it myself. Right after that I had 4 placed in 130' and I still fish them today. They are covered in fish. I have also placed chicken coups which are cheaper but also are prone to drift in a storm and rusting out. If you are diving then from what my spearfishing buddies tell me they like to be under 100' so they can stay down longer. Anyway I bought all my pyramidsfrom Walter in Orange Beach. They also will move a wreck if someBastard picks off your numbers. There was a guy in Dauphin Island who deployed my Chicken coups but I dont have his info.Hope this helps
