Never bought a reef from them, but have several from Walter's Marine out of Orange Beach. Very happy with results!

When was it put down? If it was put down prior to a storm or in shallow water it may have moved or covered up.

When was it put down?? It is possiable a big storm may have moved it or covered it especially if it was in shallow water.

Sorry for the double post locked up on me and it posted twice.

I,ve called and emailed several times and get no response. It's frustrating to spend $450 and get nothing.

Bfish,

You might want to mention to the forum that you got your full refund some time ago but you forgot to spread the good news. Also, please mentioned that you promised to buy a new depth finder with the money so you dont have to put yours in a bucket of water. Take care and tight lines.

So, you can put a "reef" down for $450. Tell me more. How did you start, how long did it take from first contact to deployment and did you get to go along when it was placed? I'm interested in this and looking for actual experiences from people who have placed one. BTW, sorry you had a bad experience and hope you will share your resolution story.

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
