Goodbye, summer fishing opportunities....

[WTL]

Nobody has spoken much of it on the board, but its the elephant on the coast down here. We are all waiting to see what the oil is going to do.

And times like these tend to make me reflective. We fish from when we are young men, some of us are now ancient, others in between....

How often does the possibility strike when we can fish a place no more?

Well, I have always worried about my smallmouth streams being polluted or dammed, and a little about g'ville and the grass or kissimmee going residential, but now...

...the gulf of Mexico being sterilized?

This is just bigger than I can get my head around. I am going to try and hit the bay if the wind slows down one more time before the oil starts hitting the beaches. Don't know how far in the bay the oil will go, but reports are they just cant stop it.
