Has anyone gone out off NC for Megs? My friend and I want to plan a trip out there and was wondering if anyone on here had gone and could recommend a boat to either use or stay away from. thanks.

It was a LONG ride out (3.5 hours) and I was seasick as hell...not fun.
Unfortunately, the issue right now is the drought. With such low levels of rainfall over the past year, the rivers aren't flowing. Rivers with no flow aren't great for finding artifacts/fossils, because any silt you stir up in the process doesn't get blown downstream. Pickings will be better when the drought is over.
I can't speak for the other rivers, but the Cooper is running over 3 knots twice a day al the way to Goose Creek. This is due to the tidal forces effecting the river.
