Local marlin champ fears severe impact on fishing - Decaturdaily.com: "Recreational fishing is about an $8 billion industry in Alabama, and the Gulf sport fishing industry contributes more to that sum than any other recreational fishing sector in the state, said Tom Steber, owner of Zeke’s Landing Marina in Orange Beach.

Zeke’s alone has 40 sport fishing charter boats, which draw thousands of anglers annually. In addition to daylong and half-day fishing trips, the charters support numerous salt-water fishing tournaments for all types of game fish: snapper, shark and the granddaddy of them all, marlin."
