This just in from my friend who fishes & hunts all over the world:
Hi Bob, I know the fish are thick in the Caribbean Islands, Mexico, Texas, Alabama, Louisiana, and Florida. I have been fishing these areas for over forty years now and I don't think I have seen the fishing any better. I cannot say I have fished "ALL OVER" the Gulf of Mexico but in the above areas I have fished in shore, off shore, deep and shallow, Don't let anybody BS you there are more fish there then I have seen in over 40 years. Between these folks running scared for their jobs and the tree huggers, they are really trying to put the fear of this into the folks who are uneducated about our oceans environment. Watch them close they will pull ANY excuse out of the hat right or wrong that they can use .Lonnie
