Feeding Anglers For 30 Years .... Wilmington, NC’s “Saltworks” By: Captain Tim Wilson
Back in 1992, I was new to the Wilmington, Wrightsville Beach area. I was learning to saltwater fish. I had a little 18' center console and the least expensive rods and reels I could find. I was working for Sea Tow as a deckhand while learning to be a "fishing guide". Every day on my way to work I passed by this little café kind of place just a few blocks from Wrightsville Beach and decided to see what it was all about. I stopped in this kind of rustic place and grabbed a menu. Not sure what to order, I asked a passing waitress what she would recommend. Her response was, "Nearly everybody likes the hot dogs and beans". So, taking a walk on the wild side, that's what I ordered. As I waited for my order, I looked around at the other folks dining there. I couldn't help but notice that most of the guys had coon eyes, dark tans, and caps on with sunglasses hanging around their necks. I saw that I was in a crowd of real FISHERMEN!
