I am curious to know whether or not anyone fishes the Shallotte River. I have yet to see any reports come from that area.
I was considering launching at OIFC next week and heading that way.

Thoughts?

There's good fishing there. I'll be there myself for two weeks starting the 21st

Let me know how you make out. I am trying to go down on the 27th for three days

Drift for flounder in Shallotte River and in the inlet. Careful of the sandbar in the mouth of the river at the ICW. Has grown considerably.

Shallotte is well known for big flounder.......

Sounds like a place worth visiting. Thanks for the feedback

Any problems for a Skiff?

Nah you should be able to see it.

From the looks of things it appears that launching from the Brick Landing boat ramp is the best way to get there

We stay at Ocean Isle and put in at the wildlife ramp there at the fishing center then dock the boat at the house for the time we are there. You will be fine with the sandbar just look for it at low tide. Drifting, get close to it. You can also drift the Shallote Inlet as mentioned earlier. If you feel comfortable with it, you can run the whole river and catch some good fish in the creeks along the way. PM me and I will be able to give you better information for the week after being there a few days.
