Anyone else thinking of selling their boat?

Im just wondering what other recreational fisherman are thinking.
I fish the east side of Venice and it looks like that may be out for at least this year if not more. I live near Lake Pontchartrain but have never really had any luck as that appears to be a very different way to fish and I dont know the spots. (and I'm not sure I have the want to learn a new area.......I just got decent at venice after several years.)
Boats not gonna get any newer sittin in the yard and if it does not have any blood on it every now and again it will break.
Sell it wait a few years buy a bigger one? 26>20

Good grief......don't you think you're overreacting just a tad? I honestly think fishing will be back to normal at least inland 2-3 weeks after they get the flow to stop. It may not be until Mid-July.....but hell just think how many fat specks will be out there for us to catch that haven't had fishing pressure in a couple months!

I hope you are right. I am disgusted. Fishing in the summer at Venice is what I look forward to all year.
I realize that this is not important in the grand scheme of this disaster bit I figured others might start feeling the same way.

I asked if this might be a possibility on a local fishing board but the Mod was quick to answer "NO"
I thought that too because Katrina appeared at least to me to have that exact effect.

Hey, I feel the same way, and have had the same worry (small in the grand scheme of things), but unfortunately it's out our hands. Hopefully they can contain this thing and we can get back on the water ASAP!

Wouldn't see why not.......think of how many tons of shrimp are being hatched that are remaining in the ecosystem rather than being caught in a trawl? Hell all of the bycatch as well. It's a huge ecosystem and what we take out of it is probably small in the grand scheme of things, but I'm certain there will be some effect.
My biggest worry is trout eggs becoming trapped in the oil slicks and hurting this years spawning class. Though I'm not a scientist, that may not even hurt them.

In Venice I could load the boat with trout on my way out to dip my big toe in the deep water and get the Red Snapper. Im worried about the Trout eggs....small shrimp that really just roll with the currents. Also I think I read somewhere that Red Snapper only migrate a distance of about 7 miles from where they hatch. If the dispersants suspend that crap in the water column than they will be screwed amongst others. or could be....no one knows. If its laying at the sea floor grouper will be screwed.
Not knowing is the worst part of this

you dear sir are an idiot. Take your big assed boat and go to the Seabrook bridge in NOLA, and I do believe that you will catch your limit.

Venice >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Seabrook
But I'd say use this as an opportunity to learn a new area, maybe something closer to the house that you could get out there for an afternoon after work. Besides, the boat market sucks these days and this oil spill isn't going to help it out at all.

You are either an expert at fishing the seabrook or just a moron. Ive fished seabrook no less than ten times and unless you are familiar with it, and I am not, its a very different fishing technique.
Having actually considered your post I am going to go with....you being a moron.

Yeah, fat and full of toxins, keep dreaming your right wing dream that none of this has consequences, but it will still happen

If the barrier island areas stay closed for any length of time I imagine there will be plenty of boats in the 20ft + range for sale. Hard to fish the marsh and fresh water bayous in a large center console.

Thats what i love about the leftys......they never miss a chance to hope for the worst from people. How in the hell is hoping that the oil has minimum impact on fish / fishing a right wing dream.
BTW drilling will continue....even obama thinks it should.

Can you prove this? To bad Jerald Horst, a former official with LSU AG Center has already come out and said this isn't the case. Nice try though......jackass.

This entire thread is drama. adapt, overcome, improvise... if you can't do what you did before, find something new. Or sell me your boat really cheap.... I would never sell my boat just becuase of this.

you are being hard on the OP. Remember the Republican National committee manual for fundraisers.
Those who give to the RNC are said by the RNC to include
REACTIONARIES. that might include our OP.
those who are FEARFUL. that too, may include our OP.
the other categories of the RNC manual may or may not apply to the OP. conservatives, and finally, people on ego trips about being 'needed'.

Otto the Stupid and Dee Whore-ton, both of you take your Marxist drivel to the Poli board and leave the normal thinking people alone over here.
Go join your fellow Marxist ideologues over on the Poli board, you two . . . run along now.

Ok folks there is no damn drama here......no ties to the RNC......no politics. Its a simple question. Is anyone else thinking of selling their boat because of the spill?
I have taken a wait and see approach but admit that the longer this goes on the more I will lean in the direction of selling.
