And So the devastation begins

I am sad to say this is not a fishing report. I have my boats on with the parish to help clean up the oil.

Today, my job was to take 6 boats out to the Chandelier Islands. There was a report that oil and dead birds were sited. We didn't see any dead birds, but we did see a lot of oil. Actually we ran across the oil at Free Mason island. That is about 4 - 5 miles inside of Chandelier Island. Like I said we did not see any fish but, we say a lot of dead jelly fish. I imagine that it won't be long before we start finding a lot of dead birds. The birds were diving on the little fish in the oil that the Mackerels were chasing to the top.

Guys this is really a said situation we are finding ourselves in. I know we all want to be fishing but, I can't see anyone wanting to eat fish from that area.

Check out some of the pictures of what we saw today.

Please keep us in your prayers.

This report from a local fisherman out of Shell beach.

Why the hell arent there more efforts to fight this thing at the front line. The front line is what ever line is closest to shore. I saw a hay demonstration. LINK

My understanding from a high authority in plaquemines parish said we may begin to here of some home grown ideas in the coming days. Also said that "They" are aware that FLA is using chicken wire barrriers filled with hay and hair to soak up the oil before it hits shore.

Bottom Line the attempt by all.....on every level of govt is failing IMO. They are waiting for it hit shore.
