Thanks to Jim Smith at UptownAngler.com and Spencer Moss at FishingGuidesWorld.com for getting us on a boat.
On Sunday, Stewart Long, Shannon and Mariko from Louisiana Bucket Brigade, and several other volunteers made it to the Chandeleur islands on a boat and in 9mph winds were able to image the slick making its way through the island chain. There appeared to be no booms in place.
The location is around:
