of bait on hand. Time spent running to the store is time that could be spent on
the water. Sammy Corbett found a simple fix to the problem.
“I remember he used
to live on Pelican
Drive in Wrightsville
Beach,” says child-hood
friend Robbie
Wolf. “He drained
his parents’ swim-ming
pool and
pumped salt water in
so he could store live
bait in it.”
When you live and
breathe fishing, you
don’t let a little spell
of bad weather stop
you.
“Me and him went trout
fishing one day and
we were about to
freeze,” Wolf says.
“He lit cans of
Sterno and made a
fire in the middle of
the boat.”
Those two stories sum up Sammy Corbett. He’s a fisherman. Period.
It’s all he’s ever wanted to do. He’ll do whatever it takes to get to and
stay on the water. Day after day, hour after hour.
