    I’ve dove on the ones off Pensacola. Right after they were dropped, it was pretty awesome to go down and see a tank with its gun pointing out into the water sitting on the white sand. The last time I dove them, they had subsided under the sand quite a bit. Some of them, only the tread was left exposed. Glad to see the ones off Gulf Shores are still upright.

  • @Steve-ev6vx

I've done the inshore, pier, and surf fishing, but I would love to go further out and do some deep water fishing. I live in WV, so I only get to saltwater fish when we go to the beach on vacation. Thank you for sharing your fishing videos. Stay safe out there, and God bless.

      Army had a huge depot full of m60 tanks after the Cold War and instead of disposing in a "landfill/graveyard" they decommissioned / stripped em and made them into numerous reefs that are still providing structure for fish today!
