Harry Jemison, the owner of Jemison's Bait and Tackle Shop, won a major battle Tuesday in his fight with Mobile County.
Jemison met with County Commissioner Mike Dean. Dean agreed to let Jemison stay in his building just south of Alabama Port until the lease is up in 2013. As part of the agreement, Jemison will waive the $3 launch fee for all fishermen.
The county wants to build a boat launch and fishing pier but needs Jemison's spot for people to park. Commissioners had planned to boot Jemison off the property in October.
