      As a commercial spearfisherman I can tell you that Steve knows extremely little about spearfishing of almost any kind. He goes spearfishing with the worlds best spearfishermen and they put him on layups. If he had to figure out how to do this kind of stuff on his own, he’d never ever get it. Ever. Not in the Bahamas, in the gulf, east coast Florida, North Carolina. I love this show, but being an expert in this sport, watching his skill level at this, it’s so glaringly obvious that he is a complete novice spearfisherman. I don’t mean this in a bad way. There are not that many people who can become really good at it and most of them have to start young.

      Steve isnt an expert at it. The show is to meet people who are and show how they hunt.
      Steve is just the host we all love.

      @Eric-dr5bj 9 หลายเดือนก่อน

      ​@@joepelosi7058It depends on quite a few things. You don't really pay per person but for the boat unless you can get others to join in your trip. Fuel is expensive so a 50 mile trip is very different than a 500 mile trip. Also don't forget they won't take someone inexperienced out to dive as it is far too dangerous. With all that you are looking at 500-1000 per day per person. You can get on a group line and reel boat for half that

    Growing up some of my best memories are from fishing Venice with my dad. Pre-katrina Venice was this tiny, quiet fishing paradise. There were only a handful of charter boats, reel peace, paradise outfitters, super strike, osprey, strike zone...I'm sure I'm missing someone the boats were 26' long and you weren't going to see 26 mph but that didn't matter. What makes Venice unique to the continental US is how fast you get to deep water. 10 miles out of south pass 1000' of water. Mississippi canyon curves in where the river dumps out. So the small fleet of charter boats only had to run on the shelf and the fishing was epic. Open water tuna feeding everywhere, giants on the midnight lump...
    Now Venice is still the same size but the number and size of the charter boats has grown exponentially since the oil spill. The boats are faster, the technology is better the gear is better but it's the same fishery with unsustainable pressure. The map updates can't keep up with how fast the Marsh is sinking, I can't remember the last time I saw open water fish midnight lump died 10 years ago and the east lump appears to be the same...
    Every time I think of Venice when I was growing up to Venice now I think about Buffalo hunters...there is a correlation

    As a Gulf Coast resident I tend to also be torn on the derelict rig situation - it ebbs and flows on what to do about them. The key Steve did leave out is it’s not typically the rig itself - it’s the wells underneath them that are typically a problem - most are capped (but not plugged properly) and some are even still plumbed in and could be brought into production - all on the ocean floor rusting away waiting on a blow out.
