your right the water did get a little rougher around the point but we turned around to eat lunch at Outriggers.Guess e should have went to Top water.
Is that the big wooden pole that is right off the point? That is my marker to turn and run into Top Water. I always stay to the outside. I can't seem to ever get into Outriggers on weekends, very limited boat parking and going into the channel on the side at low tide makes me nervous, supposed to be some rocks on the opposite side.

Give me a call if you guys go out, we try to go somewhere on Sundays if the weather is good. I will PM you my phone.

Thats the one..Atleast thats the one that is on my chart where it says Todd's dump.

Outriggers is pretty hard to get into on the weekendsI was talking to the owner yesterday and he said they are getting ready to add another 190' of dock and dredge the channel so you can get in and out very easily. Also said they have alot planned since Seabrook beach club closed.

I'll give you a shout next time im out. Gotta get the starter issue fixed.

I think you guys are talking about this spot. It looks like you should stay on the inside of the post/marker

It doesn't make sense that you should be that close to the bank, but you will regret it if you don't! Todd's Dump has claimed some boats!

I belive I may have photos of some torn #6 skegs and some "scuffing" on the bottom of a 36 skater.

You learn something new every day. i was told to hug the wooden marker pole with the sign on it to the outside, I always go tight to it. It sure looks like there is better water to the inside. I have been told that at lower tides that inside the marker can be shallow. Now I am confused. I have a track marked on my GPS that I follow.

What i really have a problem with is all the white pvc poles marking stuff. Way to hard to see at speed and the glare. Atleast paint them red or yellow or something.

They shouldn't be hard to see at the speed of smell.
