Welcome to

There have been reports of some recreational fishermen trying to use their boats to cash in on BP’s Vessels of Opportunities program. The program attempts to help charter boat captains who are forced to stop fishing because of the spill, earn a pay check cleaning up the oil. At an economic recovery taskforce meeting yesterday, Bob Zales, the president of the National Association of Charterboat Operators, warned a BP representative of the imposters trying to steal work from fishing and charter boat captains. To try and keep the program honest… BP is checking fishing licenses and denying applicants who aren’t career fishermen or charter boat captains.
