125 miles off shore, it won’t spoil the view, folks and the fishing will be GREAT.
12.5 miles off shore won't spoil the view either. There are rigs off the Mississippi beach that are "barely" visible on a good clear day---I think they're closer than 10 miles to the shore. I can't say that the tiny glow of light at night "spoils the view". Now, windmills---THOSE are eyesores (at least the ones in California that I've driven past).
“and the fishing will be GREAT”
Rigs attract little fish that attract bigger fish to eat them that attract fisherman!
In he gulf of California when there wasn’t any breeze and no action when marlin fishing i’ve taken half a dozen baloons and tied them together with a sinker and set them out for an hour and then come back an a lot of times they would have attracted some small fish under them and they would have attracted marlin to the area for me to catch.
Just one of the little tricks i’ve used over the years TO catch close to 300 marlin.
