I knew a lot of Riggers, Petroleum Engineers and Geologists that told stories about those Platforms but, even tho I worked in the Petroleum Industry (O&G) for many years of my life, I never wanted to get on a Platform. The closest that I ever got was in my Boat with my Sons "fishing". We caught lots of fish while anchored and casting towards the base of the Structure.

Are Y'all allowed to catch and release from the bottom of the Platform during off time???


OK, so that other one wasn't my Last Question! :laughing7: :laughing7: :laughing7: :laughing7: :laughing7: :laughing7:

Yes! I watched a couple of videos a while back about life on a platform. Fascinating.

You can fish off of some of these rigs, and others you can’t. Since they operate off of DPS, some don’t want a bunch of fishing line caught up in their thrusters.
