Oregon Inlet Cut Report......
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I thought I would just give a short report on how the run from Wanchese to the inlet was Saturday.
On the morning run out we went around through hells gate and there is plenty of water all the way to the bridge.
Coming back in we went through the cut. We took the channel with the green and red round markers as soon as you go back under the bridge to the right. It is a little shallow for the first 100yds or so. The depth was from 2.9-4.5 ft but after that it was fine all the way back around to the main channel heading north to Wanchese. Looks like there was another channel due west of this channel and saw a few charters running it. There is a bar between the old channel and the channel due west. I didn't see any entrance markers for the channel they were running but it merged with the old channel well before you get to the starboard turn to OI fishing Center.....Mark
The bar across the Inlet is was 7ft at low tide where we came through in the afternoon. We had a pretty good swell in the morning but no problem making it out or back in........Mark
I will update when I go out again....
