re: Louisiana's Specks Five Years Later--a fishing guides take on impact of BP spill

Unfortunately, it seems like nowadays it takes one idiot to make an asinine statement on a message board and the next thing you know there are a multitude of disciples parroting the same misinformation.
Last summer was tough for some, but I mainly fish in the cocodrie area and had my best summer in 8+years fishing there. Most fisherman were simply passing the fish up...and the fish were behind schedule due to the extended winter. Same with people crowing about Venice being subpar.....no shite....the last few years we've had high river levels for longer durations. I theorize that displaced some fish, but not removed them per se.
Personally I like to keep 25 when I can, I keep what I can eat fresh and give the rest away. I never have any that hit the trash.
