I have been fortunate enought to have fished the Venice LA area over the past decade. It is the finest fishery I have ever been priviledged to experience. The recent oil spills have devasted the Bayous.
Good Times and Great Friends…
If someone can tell me how to make these pictures larger I would be very appreciative

I have to ask what kind of fish that is that looks like some kind of deep water sailfish. Haven’t seen that one before.
Capt Devlin was not sure of the fish and other guides said it was the biggest Lancet they have ever seen.
Looks like a ribbon fish on steroids. </font id=“blue”>
(**(), that thing is freaky looking fish…that would scare the sheeitte out of some folks if we pulled something up like that…Nice yellows BTW!

Yes, somtimes I wonder havent these people been through enough? Now a catastrophy that may very well change the face of a entire area. Fishing, seafood, tourism…unbelievable! I just hope and pray they get control of this monster before she goes into the Stream…else we may all feel their pain.
The real catastrophy will be how government and special interests will use this to oversensationalize and capitalize on people’s passions to get what they want (and what hurts us).

Press Release
NOAA ISSUES LIMITED FISHERY CLOSURES
For Immediate Release, May 3, 2010:
Sunday May 2, 2010 marked the first limited fishery closure by the National Marine Fisheries Service in
the Gulf of Mexico due to the BP oil spill. The area closed to all fishing is in the Exclusive Economic
Zone (EEZ) off the east coast of LA, coast of MS, and approximately over 30 miles outside AL state
waters. FL state waters extend 9 miles from the coast and the EEZ closure begins approximately 35
miles off the coast of FL and extends south west into the gulf. The area closed is directly affected by
the spill but all other areas of the EEZ are open. FL state waters are open as well as AL state waters
and some MS state waters. LA state waters west of the spill, all TX state waters, all FL state waters
south through the FL Keys and all other areas of the EEZ are open for all fishing except for normal
seasonal fishery closures.
While this disaster is devastating to fishermen, fishery businesses (charterboat, commercial, and
private recreational), and communities, for the first time in such a disaster NOAA officials have listened
to recreational and commercial fishermen to do all they can to keep as much area open to fishing as is
possible. CCGF applauds this new cooperative effort from NOAA with the fishing community. Fishing
is a lifestyle that will survive this disaster and cooperative efforts between NOAA and fishermen will
help save this lifestyle.
We plead with all media organizations to spread the word of the open areas to fishing as this will help
tremendously with lessening the social and economic impacts that this disaster will produce. The
NOAA officials have pledged to continuously monitor the spill area and to only issue fishery closur
Hot Whiskey,

What a loss.
