Joined the craziness

Went to the Cherry Grove Marsh yesterday afternoon low tide changing. Stayed about an hour was pretty windy. wife caught 1 red 20 in. Went back out this afternoon fot a couple hours several small flounder around 13-14 inches.
Already packed and ain’t even summertime yet.

Wife and I rode by the ramp Sunday. It was a fricken zoo.

Of course it would not let me start a new topic.
Figured I’d go out on a Thursday in the heat of the day. Didn’t matter it was still a madhouse. Best about 2 hours and had my fill of it.

It has filled in almost all the way across the creek about a hundred yards south of the boat landing. They have really messed up the marsh the way they dredged the fingers.
Wife met me at the boat landing. She could not find a place to park. Maybe 4 different kayak tour companies use that as their own personal parking lot now. 40 or 50 kayaks out on the water at any given time no exaggeration… Pretty much give up on Cherry Grove it is way overfished. I would imagine there’s probably 75 boats or more on the water today.(Saturday) There will be several fishing poles hanging off almost every dock along the creek. Almost every fish that I have ever caught and tagged in the marsh has been recaptured the first month.
Oh well this is how I get to spend my memorial Day weekend anyway.

I doubt I will ever fish there again, and I doubt I will ever do any boating inshore here on a weekend again, unless its December to March… Really sucks how this place has become. Hordes of jet skis and inexperienced and clueless boaters.
Moved to Holden Beach when I was a kid in 1970 and have been here ever since. I dont like what I am seeing. But i guess it’s everywhere.

Tried to take my granddaughter to the park Friday.

But the kayak companies have taken over the park completely. Parking the ramp picnic area.

That’s just crazy. I enjoyed that small inlet but it looks like it might be pointless until fall so maybe some of that will slow down.
