Conditions are changing and the winds are not only going to keep us from going out but they will blow the oil in the wrong direction. Looks like the situation will worsen. This has the potential to go as far as Texas before it is over and also to the west side of Florida. They better close that hole soon we are done.
Fishing is not a matter of life or death. It's more important than that.

The oil has pushed much further south now as well. It showed up around my rig yesterday. It's not what you think of when you hear crude oil. It looks like baseball size lumps of oil with almost a bright orange color. The sheen gives off the appearance of an almost sparkling or glitter like surface. The reef fish keep going up to eat it like they do with the seaweed. Not a good situation at all.

One of the Captains has gotten the attention of the BP company after some boats hired have had problems. We now have 3 inshore boats for the shallow marsh (BAYOU) and 3 offshore boats for the other areas. These boats are on stand-by 24-7 to take BP reps, goast Guard, (Yep they ran aground in the bayou) specisl news people, and other people directly associated with the oil spill. The basic setup is 7:00 am to 5:00 pm. Anything else will be by request and the response time has to be there.
I just pulled a 7 day hitch starting tomorrow. That should be it for me for about a month. Seeing I live down here and am retired I may be used more. If not I should fare well at this point. I am glad Capt. Peace Marvel made this happen. It was almost a given after the second day of operations down here. Not like looking at a chart and navigating. Many people went out and never were found. Different kind of area and also very delicate.

For those that saw the birds on TV at Ft. Jackson the deep diving bird was from the north and a litle late to leave. He was the first to get oiled. The Pelican I think there were 2 so far are now clean. The cormerant was on my boat for 2 days and 1 night. It came on the boat 55 miles offshore. It is not found north of brownsville texas. It is smaller than the ones we know and brown. By the time we came to the dock it had free run of the boat. It was not oiled just starved and needing fresh water badly. My bird made world news. It is now in great shape but loves old blond fishermen.
Life is Good!
