| I went out to the CB Inlet the other day at low tide. Man, it looked as bad as I have seen it in a few years. There was only about 100 yards of channel to follow and to get to it, you had to almost go on Masonboro Island. There were several islands in the middle where the old channel had been. If you haven't gone thru there this year, be careful. If you don't use it much, pay attention to the depth finder and follow the bouys all the way out. Just trying to give advice so I don't see anymore people running aground or involuntarily go swimming in the inlet. |

| Thanks for the info, have heard a few horror stories about that inlet this year already. We left and returned from there 2 wks ago, actually that is the main inlet we use, have not had any trouble so far this year and plan on using it this weekend. It may have been dreged recently,they were in the area on our last trip. We saw 8.5 on depth finder about 3 hrs after high tide. Anyone using this inlet definately needs to be aware of the tide and use extreme caution!! Hooked |

we used to go out CB all the time, lately it's just been easier to go out masonboro. CB can get kind of stressful.
