Wish We Had Better News

Greetings sportfishermen and friends; wish we had better news!

As of this date, we are still hoping to conduct the 6th annual Cajun Canyons Billfish Classic at Cypress Cove as scheduled June 1—June 6, but it does not look good. Presently, Cypress Cove Marina and Lodge is open and doing business, as boats are running Tiger Pass and fishing to the West. We plan on making a more definitive announcement no later than May 10. In the event that the oil spill at Mississippi Canyon 252 dictates that we are forced to cancel or re-schedule our tournament for later dates, we will be offering 100% refunds to all boats that had paid in our early registration.

For additional information, you can go to www.deepwaterhorizonresponse.com Also, NOAA and NMFS have issued a 10 day closure (effective May 2-12, for now) for commercial and recreational fishing from the Mouth of the Mississippi River East to Pensacola, Florida in federal waters; here is a link to the National Marine Fisheries closure map.

In closing, I ask you to say a prayer for the families that lost loved ones in the Deepwater Horizon explosion, everyone affected by this tragedy, and those working around the clock, and include a prayer that the leak be STOPPED!

Regards,

Steve Thomas
