Just talked to a buddy of mine who's using his boat for clean up. He said they are on the East end of the Island, in the pass, and haven't seen any oil in 3 days. I told him he needs to follow the media because they can sure find it. He said they had a crew on the beach the other day who found a little tar ball. Said they put their cameras down right on top of it. He said Grand Isle is making more money now than they ever have. All motels have no vacancy signs. Every marina is full. You can't hardly get into a restaurant. Said right now the birds are diving, shrimp and trout are jumping and the dophins are playing.

Trout are probably getting nice and fat with no fishing pressure.....hopefully we will get a chance to tie into a few of those hogs before the end of summer.

Get your head out of the sand you idiot, dont you know this is the end of the world. You need to wake up and realize that our days are numbered, we are all going to die and its because of the pelicans having oil on their wings

Lodging has been really tough to find. Almost everything is book solid.

Took me 19 different places to find an opening a couple weeks ago and 17 places this past week.

Restuarants are busy. Guys selling shrimp, bait, and have boat launches are having it tough.

Does anyone know if you can fish the back side of the island now from the shoreline?
