The Carolinas - Cape Lookout shoals/slot?

I may cross over cape Lookout this weekend. I know of course the knuckle is safe passage, but the long way around. I recall last year guys discussing the slot on here, but I can't find the old thread.

If someone can offer up a link, and present day recent passage info it would be much appreciated.:thumbsup:

best way is to follow a charter boat through it and mark it as you go. should be plenty of traffic this weekend.

Here you go ..........

Used these numbers about a month ago ........

My plan is, drive down, gas boat, buy beer/groceries(in that order), launch boat, dock, buy bait, guess where fish are, throw darts at chart, take an average of dart hits, and then guess where the fish are:grin:;?.

I have no plan:o.

LOL Me Either, Your Guess Is as Good As Mine. I like the dart Idea , let me know how it turns out. When you gettin in?

thats all you need

Depending on the direction of the swells and how much water you draw you can still run near the old slough. Head down the west side of the breakers off cape point towards shark island then as you reach the end of the breakers, cross and make a big sweeping U turn around the end of that shoal back towards the lighthouse. The eastern reef is all but completely filled in and there are a couple lumps but you can see them pretty easily. Once you hit 12' or so it's wide open. Next time I get to the boat I'll get a scren shot of the track we ran a couple weeks ago.

If there's an eastern swell forget it, and a large SW swell can make the western reef rather exciting but this weekend sounds like it will be no problem.

Assuming I don't break something else on the trailer this trip I hope to arrive 5-6pm Friday evening.

$#it happens

$#it happens

But why does it always have to happen to me? LOL:banghead:

hey man shit happens to me too, hell about 3 times a day but i just wipe a few times and go about my day:grin:

Redneck, I was banking on you scouting out where the fish are hiding Friday, so I wouldn't have to do anything but buy bait and ice for Sat.

, Well we might get it done anyway, I aint gave up hope yet.

Hey Bass, are yall fishing Sunday Too?

planning to fish Sat, Sun, and Mon, drive home Tues. Gonna make it up as i go.

I have no idea which way to fish, there aint been a good SST shot in a few days? Guess I will just flip a coin if we get to go tomorrow. If you got anywhere you would like for me to check out just let me know.

I know a good place to start... The ocean:grin::grin::grin:

Go to Jimmys Fishing Links, then scroll down to the weather section, he has a link there to Rutgers Universitys SST Site. Its just been too cloudy the last few days to get a good shot.

you know i just got to give yall a hard time

yea we know, we do the same to you too:thumbsup: Well I have it all worked out but its gonna be real late before i get there tonight, gonna try to hit some closer places in the morning cause we will probably get a late start.Maybe Northwest Places or little and big 10. any other ideas let me know.

both sound like good places to start, add 240 rock

ok

I left an anchor around the 240 last July- see if you can find it, you'll know it's mine if it has 20 feet of 5/16" galvanized chain.

Oh yeah, and look for my $40 gerber knife which slid off the baitwell into the big drink.

Ill give Kenneth a ziploc full of air and a maglite and send him afterem.Anything else while he is down there? He gets pissed if I make him go twice.
