Well, the Marler family are certainly legends here in Destin, especially in the fishing industry. I would reccomend contacting the Destin Fishing Museum, ask for Jean. She is very familar with the history of Destin and I am sure would be happy to help you find further information. Also, if your not already aware Olin Marler Fishing Charters have a connection and someone there may be able to help you. Good Luck!
