    Let me tell you, that stuff is everywhere and it stinks. Some spots were worse than others.

    I couldn’t fish most of the places I wanted to tonight, because I didn’t want to dip my baits in that water or pull a fish from it.

    Yep, defiantly one of those things that make you say HMmmmm.

    You wouldn’t think it would be that hard to track down a 1000 gallons of fuel these days.

    They are saying that only waterfowl may be affected. Does that mean the possibility of “molitov Mallards” this fall. :

    Only waterfowl my butt. Anything that swims on the surface will be affected. And most likely, any vegitation this fuel touches, other than grown trees, will die.
