Every video I have seen of guys fishing at the wind farms offshore have been pretty impressive.. I personally have no skin in the game, probably won't be salt water fishing any more, but those rigs would take a lot of heat off the other reef/rock areas in the NY Bight.. Any permanent structures in the ocean attract life in abundance, and within a few short years are teeming with fish... I guess I don't understand what the big problem is for most NJ anglers with the windmills,.. Not looking for arguments, just better understanding as to why no one wants them.... bob

They killed a lot of marine mammals already.
