J-hook entrance changing

[flounderstalker]

Found these aerial photos of the pass and j-hook...the first one was taken this past january and the second one was taken just a year before that, notice the difference in the entrance of both photos. No wonder I got stuck goin in there last week!

it has changed more since that last photo... you used to have to hug the left shoreline when going in, but now you have to hug the sandbar on the right... that change is only about 2-3 months old.

So what's on the left side now? Is it no longer a steep drop off.

Hope I figure it out next saturday on the way to the beach lol

the left side is silted in now... about 5 inches of water over sand at low tide. hopefully these higher summer tides comming will flush it out a little more. we really need a hurricane to come through and recut alot of poc back out, but that means alot of possible damage to the town which we really dont need with stores like coastal ed's and toasties already closing down...

Thanks for the info, haven't been in there since last fall and even then I touched bottom on the old track.

So are people hugging the right shoreline to get in? We went thru on the left side a lil over a month ago...guess its filling in quick

When a person says that "we need a hurricane" I automatically know they live and make their living at least somewhat inland.

The Sunday beach crowd will start dredging out a pass into the hook any day now.

that sands a little harder to dredge than a good ol mud bottom
