Not sure if this is in the right section or not but does anyone know the clearance of the 903 bridge by Holly Grove Marina on Lake Gaston. I know it will fluctuate with the water. I have a Carolina Skiff with a T Top. I'm thinking I need about seven feet. We are renting a house up the creek and I really don't want to have to stay on that side. Thanks for any input.

That's more of a concrete tile pipe than an actual bridge. Been a while but a bass boat is no problem. I don't think you'll get much with a top through it.
On google earth you'll notice the boats that you can see tied to docks aren't pontoon boats or anything with a top.

Used to spend a lot of time on Gaston. I'd rather fish Gaston than Kerr. Good blue cat fishery.
Used to catch more striper on Kerr but the striper you caught on Gaston were better quality. I don't know how it is now.
Pea Hill creek is one of my favorite places. Six Pound Creek. Goat Island.
Family has a place on Popular Creek. Used to be my dad's boss mans place when I was a kid so we used to go a lot growing up.

Gston's water level stays relatively the same within a foot. Not at all like Kerr lake
I called the marina and they said they get pontoons with the tops up through it. By the looks of it, that's hard to believe. Ive been wanting/needing to make my T Top foldable now I guess I better get on it. Are there any boat launches on that side of the bridge.
Well we spent a week up at Lake Gaston and had a great time. Fishing was decent, had one nice Largemouth maybe 4lbs or so. The 903 bridge at Holly Grove Marina was passable for my 218 DLV Carolina Skiff with a T Top. The width was more of an issue then the height. I would estimate the height was about 8 feet and width about 9'. I had maybe 6 inches of clearance on the sides. Keep it real slow and straight and most boats will make it through. This is no guarantee so if you crash into the bridge don't come blaming me.
