Weather Delays Dredge Departure for East Pass Work
A series of late-summer squalls delayed the dredge headed for East Pass. Alton Colvin of the U S Army Corps Panama City office said the Hendry Corp of Tampa owned vessel was to leave Tampa Saturday but was stalled by storms through the weekend. He added it should reach Destin within three days of departure and that the downtime will not affect the contract work schedule.

Charter Boats Left Off Panel Stirs Destin Captains
A seven member Marine Fisheries Commission seen as stacked by commercial interests alarms Destin captains who say charter boats were left out. Destin Captain Malcolm Patterson criticizes Gov. Graham for appointing three university professors and three commercial fishermen to the panel. Patterson warns Northwest Florida charter fishing may be ignored as the panel sets bag limits seasons and gear rules. The new members include Barley, Anthony, Briggs, and Fox alongside the governor’s choices.
