Floyd Simmons
(photographs are courtesy of the Carteret County Historical /society—Simmons collection)
Simmons served as a hunting and fishing guide during the 20s and 30s using at times either Ocracoke, Portsmouth or Beacon Island (in Pamlico sound) as his base. In the mid-30s, he established the Edgewater Club in Morehead City. A hunting/fishing camp at Cape Lookout was added as a resource for guests.
At Portsmouth, he used the Gilgo house as base.
Simmons used his “Flying Dolphan” to take guests to hunting adventures.
