SLIDELL, La. --

Residents in Slidell say they are seeing dead fish floating ashore on Lake Pontchartrain, days after oil from the BP spill was first spotted in the lake.

Darrin Johnson lives on Carr Drive and said he has seen "thousands of dead fish and crabs" in the canals near his home.

He sent WDSU photos of the dead marine animals.

The first oil was spotted this week in the Rigolets and Lake Pontchartrain in the form of tar balls, and response crews began working quickly to protect the lake.

Uh oh, looks like BP messed up. They forgot to send their night crews over to the Lake to remove all the dead sea life before residents woke up in the morning.
