More experts agree–Oil leak much larger than 5,000 barrels a day

NPR is reporting that the oil spill could be much worse than believed, with up to 70,000 barrels of oil per day leaking into the Gulf of Mexico off the Louisiana coast.

Experts discuss Oil Spill in May 2010 Podcast

Roland Martin — Legendary Fisherman

Legendary fisherman Roland Martin joins Andy Crawford from LouisianaSportsman.com and LSU environmental scientist Ed Overton on The Armchair Anglers Podcast this month to discuss the Gulf of Mexico oil spill off the coast of Louisiana.

To gain an understanding of the pre-existing coastal erosion problems plaguing the Louisiana coast, I suggest watching this seven minute Swish presentation prior to listening to the podcast.

Two notes for bass fisherman listening to the podcast:

• Every inch of marsh destroyed on front end (the coast) pushes the saltwater line further back into the marsh, destroying bass habitat on the back end.
• Marsh bass will eat the heck out of brown shrimp.  Destroying the bottom of the food chain hurts both saltwater and freshwater fish.

Lake Guntersville Predictions

I asked two local big sticks what it would take to win at Lake Guntersville.

Troy Jens of Angling Alabama said, “I hope I am wrong, but I think the weights will be down a little this year.  Our local events have been down substantially.  I expect a 23 pound average to win, and probably 18 a day to get a check”.

Alex Davis, aka “The Spinnerbait Kid“, said, “The fishing is a lot tougher this year compared to last year when the Elites came.  I believe there will still be big bags…it will take 83-87 lbs to win and 36 lbs to get a check”.

I find it interesting that both these guys think that it will take 36 lbs to get a check (Top 47 after 2 days).  Their consensus is that the winning weight will be high 80s to low 90s…meaning my early prediction of Pickwick outfishing Guntersville will prove to be false.

If you want to improve your fishing skills, so that you can enjoy a lifetime of improved fishing success, I suggest you invest a day and fish with these gentlemen.
