Yetavon has the right answer ...I don't want to interfere with Druminator and his M&G in Wilmington in June. I think early June will be good .Please put down your dates you prefer. I will use Google Earth and talk to several of you and decide where. Thanks ...Allen

I have been there before here are the cooordinates

Lat 34º 8'26.23"n lon 78º32'43.70"w

there is a landing above and below the area by water at the bridge's but they are a trip in a boat to get there the land to the west is owned by a paper company leased by a hunting club they have been very nice about allowing me access to camp and fish outside of there hunting season aslong as i picked up behind myself there are roads back through the swamp to the river i drove my bus converted to an rv on so acces is good hard to find without instuctions none of the paths are labelled but we had a very nice grassed pad with a dirt boat ramp in deep ( 8'/10') water awsome cat fishing and if you have fished a swamp you know it is more than a river you can just paddle off amongst the cyprus tree's

From what I tell that is Juniper Creek in Bogue , NC, or that is how it is labeled on my map. It looks like it would be a good place , much like Core creek coming off a river there and flooded timber. I also marked a spot a little farther down river that looks good too.

Looks like I have room for a limited number. Parking would be the issue if we could carpool it would be far better that is if yall are interested in the waccamaw that is just the offer I had. Spoke with my guy and he is more than happy to lead us along and offer local support. Which is aplus. The locall's don't particular ly like people taking over there hidden secrets. But as a guest you are respected. If you can understand They. Are alittle. Peculiar about change

I am hoping to be able to go on this trip, and fish with froggy again.

It would be nice if we had a large trailor with a rack to carry the yaks and canoes on this trip. I have a very large 4 wheel trailor, I know, overkill, that I have access to,and money in it, that would carry a few yaks without a rack on it. If there is interest in this let me know, and I'll get TFF to come take a look at it to see what he thinks.
