This past week was the 62nd annual Mississippi Deep Sea Fishing Rodeo, but there were a few noticeable differences from years past. There were no sharks, Spanish mackerel, bluefish or bonita.
Even though the Mississippi Sound and a majority of the federal waters in the Gulf of Mexico were closed by NOAA because of the BP Deepwater Horizon oil disaster,the rodeo was still a success.
The number of anglers were down from a typical rodeo of 500 to slightly more than 200 and next years event is expected to move back to the Gulfport Small Craft Harbor.

When are they going to begin really trying to clean this up? There is alot of oil in all kinds of places, and it won’t dissapear on its own.
I know they’re doing everything they can think of, and then some.
