| mason's inlet....decided to test it out the other day, and i dont know if anyone here ever uses it, but i was only marking 4-7 foot in the middle of the "inlet." i wouldnt recommend this with a v-hull boat on any tide other than DEAD HIGH or you might be dead high and dry. |

Just wanted to put my 2 cents in,
I have been going in and out of Mason inlet for 15 years, I had a 22' grady and would go in and out on all but dead low tide. The trick to the shallow inlets is reading the water, as for Masons if you were heading out the inlet just as you get to the break, make a hard left you can sea the waves stop breaking there, hit the throttle and cross the first two sets and you will be out.
Maybe i've just been lucky but I've been lucky ALOT then. Dont try it below mid tide in anything over 25' and dont try it if your not confident in yourself, once you commmit thats it "hammer her down...."
And coming in, just ride one of the sets thats an extra 2-5' depending on the size of the waves. I always come in Masons or Riches (usually to dodge the man after a few cold ones from fishing all day.) A suggestion to Noobies, get tow boat US.
If you sink her dont blame me...
