Good Bye to Sportsman's Pier

We've all known it was coming for a long time but Sportsman's pier is closing down for good this weekend. Originally built in the 1950's, the 1000 foot long Sportsman's Pier has always been a popular destination in Atlantic Beach. Like thousands of other fishermen, our staff also grew up fishing Sportsman's Pier and remember catching some of our first saltwater fish from it. As a final farewell the pier will be having a customer appreciation day on their final day Sunday with free fishing. Press and politicians are expected to appear and Paul Graham of savencpierfishing.com will be presenting an update on the petition. Do your part to help preserve pier fishing in North Carolina, sign your name to the online petition. The pier has had a good drum bite the last few weeks, this weekend could be a great time to land one last fish from Sportsman's Pier.
