Cheney spokesman Reinhard Heydrich Jr. announced the the former Vice President would be spending next week on a fishing and hunting vacation in Grand Isle Louisiana. Planned activities included Alligator hunting, and most notably deep sea Tuna fishing. This comes from one charter operator's description of their tuna fishing trips:

These fish put up quite a fight, sometimes lasting over an hour. We are running between 70 and 100 miles offshore to fish giant floating oil platforms with no pressure from other boats.
Joining Cheney for the fishing trip are daughter Liz, close friends Harry Whittington, Don Rumsfeld, and a former Bush White House photographer. Also rumor has it that Rush Limbag may join Cheney on the fishing trip. While in Grand Isle Cheney's party will take over a luxury Gulf Coast resort.
This announcement by Cheney who kept a very low profile on his last vacation to New Jersey, shows how determined dick is to do damage control for the Oil Industry.
Obviously Cheney is trying to demonstrate that the Deepwater Horizon Disaster is no big deal. Also it might be handy to be 70 miles offshore in a small boat as Cheney's role in arranging lax rules for offshore oil drilling come to light in the National Media.
