Re: BP Gulf Coast Oil Spill! Has it affected You?

i live in south mississippi and love to fish the marshes for redfish and speckled trout. our state coast line is closed to both commercial and recreational fishing. i have a trip to grand isle louisiana planned for the weekend of the 14th, and as of now those waters are still open. my problem is that i don't know that i would want to eat the fish i catch even if the government doesn't close the waters. our backup plan is a freshwater lake trip.
bummer.

On the news today the Big Wig speaking for BP said it could be another 8 to 10 days before they even stop the leak!

They should have had some kind of emergency plan developed years before this happened.
Some kind of way to cap it or drop a huge plug in it or something..

They also predict gas prices jumping to 4 bucks a gallon again!
So who will REALLY be paying for the clean up? We are!

Such a shame for the wildlife in the Gulf....very sad.

There is a Duplicate of this thread in Dockside Chat. There are now three individual Oil Spill threads there and we're at about the limit to be able to keep an eye on them
