Fishermen from around the country are planning to pack the steps in front of the U.S. Capitol this week to demand changes to a federal fisheries law they say is killing jobs and eroding fishing communities. Recreational Fishermen from Panama City, Destin and Mexico Beach will be loading buses Tuesday morning at Captain Anderson’s Marina and begin their journey to our Nation’s Capital. They will spend the night in Richmond and meet protesters from around the Country at the Capital Building for the rally at noon.

Organizers of the “United We Fish” rally expect an estimated 3-5,000 people at the Feb. 24 protest, including a bipartisan roster of congressmen, fishermen and their advocates from up and down the Atlantic and Gulf coasts and a smattering from the West Coast and Alaska.  READ MORE

As expected, this past weekend’s Mardi Gras celebrations at St. Andrew’s enjoyed a fantastic turnout! The largest Mardi Gras party in the region, the Krewe of St. Andrew’s put on a phenomenal parade with a huge variety of colorful floats, authentic food and lots of wonderful live music. The kid’s parade on Friday, February 12th saw minimal crowds due to very wet and chilly weather, but on Saturday, the sun was shining, the skies were blue, and crowds of people showed up to eat, drink, catch beads and have a great time!
