    Well, we’re going through with the trip, despite the oil spill.  I will be in Gulf Shores all of next week (we’re driving down tomorrow).  I’m bringing a canoe and I’m planning on fishing some of the back marshes if I can get access.  Many of them have been closed by the authorities.

    Well I’m happy to report that there is absolutely no shortage of ladyfish in the surf at Ft. Morgan.

    Tacky Jacks Bar & Grill on hwy 180 located at the first marina coming from Old Fort Morgan, I have been able to get good fishing info from the locals there….pretty good hamburger too. There is a fly shop in Fairhope on the east side of Mobile Bay, Spencer Johnson is the owner and always has good info on area fishing

    The reason you are seeing so many fish is probably because the oil is pushing them towards the beach.  I am very saddened by this oil spill, it is a tragic shame and I hope BP is forced to pay and properly clean everything..  We as a country need to make an example out of BP so that other drilling companies will take the proper measures to prevent such things from happening again.  Also maybe this will create more funding for finding GREEN Energy.

    That’s about the saddest post I’ve read here.  This thing really sucks.  If you have ever seen the documentary about Exxon Valdez 20 years after, it is really disturbing how little was actually done to clean it up.  they are still scraping rocks with an oily film.  I fear the same will happen here.

    I watched most of the hearing with Tony Hayward.  What a joke.  “Hayward said he wants his life back”, selfish SOB. 11 of his own are dead and the worlds ocean is jacked up.  Yet he wants his life back.
