Tell that to Skeeter77346, I do agree that it didn't effect the area's I normally fish with actual oil. But between grand isle and the mouth of the river it was hit hard with it, and it's a lot more there than the normal tar balls that have washed up on Grand Isle forever. It did close down the Delacroix marsh area for quite sometime. I was paying $300 a month camp expenses and couldn't fish, I don't want or did I ask BP for anything. Just stating the effects of the spill sure wasn't anything I hope to go through again.
