4th of July tourney

[Hackberry Hustler]

This is really getting out of hand. First, the star gets pushed back now the rodeo is cancelled. All because there is a oil spill that is affecting areas where some people fish. If any of you have ever fished the rodeo before you know that the boundaries are anywhere you want to go as long as you make it back by weigh-in on the last day. But, because some of the boats that usually place BIG every year are out of Venice or Grand Isle there will be no rodeo. I thought this was the SWLA fishin club rodeo not the venice fishin club. I am sympathetic to whats goin on on the east side of the state, but in case some people havnt noticed this is not affecting but about one third of our coastline. Two thirds are still fishable. I am really angry at how the news media only is showing small areas of marsh with oil and reporting llike it is all of louisiana. If you go to NOAA's website there are satellite photos updated almost daily showing the oil drifting east. the majority of it is from the mississippi delta east.
