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.

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.

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.

Agree. Was that in the Gulf Stream, JFJF?

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

Understood. I'm a bit ignorant as to the machinations of the stream in your area.
