Video: Crazy Current
I recently took some video of what it looks like on the surface when the current is screaming in our local waters. To be honest,
this was unusual, but Kevin wanted to try to dive in this kind of current. I'm sure the current was over 4 kts. The front float is a double float and then that is followed by a MAKO HP 15 liter float. He had at least 350 ft of line out on his reel. https://youtu.be/FfBlavKo6NI

Re: Video: Crazy Current
just in case anyone is wondering... The rear float is a 15 liter HighPressure Float which has over 30 lbs of lift.

Re: Video: Crazy Current
Good lord! I thought for a while there that this was a trolling video until I noticed the nearly submerged floats! That is insane to be outside of a channel and still have that type of current.

Re: Video: Crazy Current
Agree. Was that in the Gulf Stream, JFJF?

Re: Video: Crazy Current
It is as described in the narration, a reef in 110 feet of water. The Gulf Stream meanders in and out.

Re: Video: Crazy Current
Understood. I'm a bit ignorant as to the machinations of the stream in your area.
