The gulf ?????
After they got the CAP on the deep water blow out in the gulf all the info was cut off up here.
 What is happening now with it still must be some clean up fishing shut down are there still massive effects on the pepole?? They realy didn't show to much to and as soon as they could they never spoke of it again it's even hard to find current info on the net.

I have a fishing report from Cocodrie,LA. Never been better. It is somewhat amazing to me how it didn't affect a larger area, geographically.
I did however hear some predictions of the largest dead spot ever off the Louisiana coast due to the massive ammounts of water and such flowing into the Mississippi River. Kinda like the red tide we have in FL. I am sure our brethren in LA and MS will pipe in. I am curious too..

the reports I have heard said fishing is good and I believe all fishing bans have been lifted in the Gulf since late last year. However many reports say there is quite a bit of oil lining the bottom in deep water due to the use of dispersants. Who really knows though as it is so hard to get a FACTUAL news report on something like this anymore.

It's an election pre-year.. Do you really think that the press is going to print anything, no matter how slight, that might make the present administration look bad? They're so far up his rear they can see his stomach.

Sounds like the fishin and tourism is back up...keeping in mind the economy...I think they aren't talkin about it much because any mention of it puts a question in the minds of tourists who would go there...from what I've heard, I'd book a guide trip down there inna heartbeat...

We never saw any oil along the western LA shoreline. A tarball was found about a mile west of us, but analysis from BP Chemists said not from their well. My front yard is the Gulf of Mexico and I did not see a drop over here. I agree that the DEAD ZONE in the gulf is a bigger concern from runoff now. I've seen miles of dead fish floating on top out to 65 nm offshore, particularly in 2003. This year our fishing was off to a great start, then the large amount of runoff coming down the Mississippi appears to have either run the fish out or worse. With winds less than 12 mph we usually see green water on the beach and good fishing, now it's like chocolate most of the time.

Every river, creek, stream that has very little or no buffer zone from us is seeing the effects. We have killed some off up here by logging to close and eroiding away everything and letting the cattle near or in them ruins them real fast. Not a good spot we have put our selves into.
