Oil has already hit one of my most used fishing spots. Place is called Marsh Island. Easy way to get there is a boat ramp in cypremort point. The island is a short boat ride from there.

USF has some clout now. Class of 92. Yeah, I am just a pup. Back when we only had stellar basketball and baseball teams. The pigskin changed everything. GO BULLS!!

Sorry I can't be of assistance on the oil spill MSCHROPE.

Not so sure I would run my boat out there in that muck. The oil is one thing, but the dispersants are another. I have heard from some fisherman that are saying it is attacking the plastics and other petroleum-made products on the boat that it contacts. The other problem is there are so many "officials" out in those marshes and waterways, you won't get too far. Look what they did to the CBS reporters that tried to do what you are doing. They just wanted to take their boat out to some bayous and get a true first hand account of what is going on. They were stopped by the CoastGuard and were told they would be arrested. They said it's not us to blame it's BP making us do it. When did BP dictate what our CoastGuard does?! There are some very shady dealings going on out there. Not so sure I would want to go out there, but good luck in your travels.
