How to Leave Oregon Inlet in a SMALL Boat in the Dark! (Tips, Tricks, and Mistakes to be Aware Of)

The Oregon Inlet in North Carolina is notorious for its difficulty in learning how to cross in a boat. This is especially true for smaller boats that don't necessarily know the area very well. In this video, learn from The Professor (Ron Edwards) and The Student (Marcus Sheridan) as they show you exactly how they leave Oregon Inlet (from Pirates Cove Marina) at 5am in the morning from their 28' Steigercraft Pilot House.

Love the stiger

Nice I will try go out there this year! Thank you

Just found your channel! Awesome that we fish the same waters, The Chesapeake bay and south. Figured I would comment on the first video... binge watching the rest! Tight lines boys! Its not common knowledge in an ever changing, dynamic environment! Most have no clue... I'd love to fish with you guys someday, bay, deep water, mud puddle... wouldn't matter!

[@saltwaterfishinguniversity]

Awesome Thud!! Appreciate the kind words very much! Where do you fish out of in Virginia by the way? I hope we can cross paths on the waters.

[@thudtrades1850]

@@saltwaterfishinguniversity I fish out of Back river, Hampton, Poquoson.. South of the bay is either a charter or I am in the surf.

@@thudtrades1850 Awesome. Let's see if we can get you down to Oregon Inlet one day this summer. Sometimes we have room for another on the boat, I'll let you know!

[@thudtrades1850]

@@saltwaterfishinguniversity That would be absolutely awesome! I'd be willing to help with maintenance days as well, I'm not a pro but, far from green.

Small boat, I was thinking 14ft Carolina Skiff then I clicked on the video

[@saltwaterfishinguniversity]

Well, small as in "not a sportfishing boat " 😄

You dont wanna take a piece of shit like that out there

[@SD-kp1yk]

how to follow someone out that knows what they are doing. Need a Flir for that LOL! I do absolutely hate navigating at night through pilot house glass it's very limiting... Cool vid

[@saltwaterfishinguniversity]

Appreciate that SD. Yes, it all comes down to following someone that actually knows the waters!

[@jerimahjohnson8698]

From the bridge the actual waves dont look bad. But the sand bars thats a while other thing.

[@Pitoling186]

How about getting back in...That could b just as scary... I've definitely waited and followed a more experienced captain in a few times...jones inlet in L.I ny gets very sketchy

[@saltwaterfishinguniversity]

Great point! Coming back in can be just as bad for sure.

[@spinfish1434]

To get back in, just follow your Track Line on your GPS.

[@warlordop713]

@@spinfish1434sometimes it doesn’t work.

[@cddenmon4693]

I guess my question is.... if you have gps navigation ,radar and a flir why would you need to follow anyone else out?

[@bidenisatraitor7633]

Because the sand bar steadily changed...those captains run it daily

When it comes to Oregon inlet in a small boat, make sure it's flat calm or close to it, or don't go. Sincerely, USCG Station Oregon Inlet.
