How do offshore wind farm turbines affect fishing? The answer might be complicated, but the fishing next to this offshore wind turbine wasn't. We started the trip with a great catch over open bottom before spot locking our position next to the giant structure. As sometimes happens, the trolling motor on this 32-footer made all the difference.

Interesting about the Old Gulp juice. I noticed 2 years ago the exact opposite. I put a new grub on the teaser and an old one on the bucktail. Catch a fish and swap. The fish would always be on the new. The older stuff has a more potent smell and is browner in color. I assumed the fish could smell the rancid old juice. After that test, i dumped all my older juice and picked up the Gulp Recharge bottles (probably 4 to get enough juice). Its not the same, but it worked just as good as the new juice.

GE bought these guys, Alstom Haliade 150 6 MW which means it has 150m or 164 yard diameter that has a rated(peak) output of 6 million watts. There is a new version which is supposed to go into serial production this year. The GE Haliad X, 220m diameter, 13mw(million watts). Hope they put up lots more. Make a bunch of electricity, and good fish habitat too.

Trying to learn more since the feds are leasing a prime bottom habitat off us in Cape Fear NC region.

@flounderwetspot8524 2 года назад

They’re planting an absolute ton of these off of nj, the concern is migrating species like fluke, bass, tog that move off shore and inshore seasonally and how the power cables along the sea floor will affect them. Whales and porpoise are known to be sensitive to electromagnetic changes on the sea floor as well. At the meetings they explained that they’re good for 28-35 years before needing to be rebuilt, but take approximately 30 years to pay them selves off. You should have heard the pissed off locals and fisherman once that sentence came out of the representatives mouths. They just aren’t the productive clean energy they need to be yet. Step in the right direction, yes. The be all answer? Hardly.

@Elios0000 2 года назад

yeah in most cases off shore wind is dumb. in the case of an island like here its not to bad and way better then burring oil or diesel. what really need is more nuclear

@daversj 2 года назад

@@Elios0000 the payback on nuclear takes forever. Thats why no new nuclear in US. Its pure economics. The outlay is so huge. Offshore wind isn’t cheap but good luck planting wind generators on land in new england. People complain about the aesthetics when they’re 5 miles offshore and can only be seen on a clear day. Smog from burning oil apparently looks better. I’ve dived these towers a few times, they’re teaming with life where there was just pebble bottom. A few birds probably get chopped up from the blades, but now there is a huge habitat for fish. Gulls and sea duck numbers aren’t something to worry about.

@Sharivari16 Год назад

Not saying you are knowingly lying, but there is no conceivable way they take 30 years to pay themselves off. These are GE Haliade 150-6s and while they are some of the most expensive turbines in the US, they pay for themselves within a decade at the very most. That 10 year figure is assuming the cost of the project was extremely inflated and the turbines are always having maintenance issues. The offshore turbines are generally a good investment assuming they are placed in spots with high annual wind speeds. Onshore is still better. Throw them in empty flat states like Kansas and Texas and they'll make farmers loads of money and people rarely complain.
