Spoke with a former student and friend who operates two charter boats out of Orange Beach. I had left him a message last week inquiring about setting up a possible fishing trip during our beach stay next week, and actually felt a little guilty when the severity of the oil spill disaster became more clear. As of now, however, the slick is being held off the Florida coast by a friendly northerly wind. Boats are still fishing - apparently a lot of cobia being taken. Artificial reef fishing is still yielding red snapper - catch and release only. Two future FODs.
Anyway, the fam may be able to make a fishing trip. At least until the wind changes.
