Hey Tsubaki
 
I got your replies, thanks for the info. I guess I'm good to go and as far as the route goes I plan on leaving from Ft. Mac public ramp. Pretty much a straight shot.

Oh, I was looking at something else, not a straight shot.
I plan on running out through Hell Gate make a right and on to Odingsell. Is the dock up Wassaw Creek? Any tips or goodies for my route?

Give me a little time to get a few a maps together to show you some hazards.

Here are some old NOAA maps of the location showing the normal bars and stuff.
Coming from Ft McAllister downstream to Hells Gate.

Hells Gate and the bars at Delegal and Adams Creek.

This is Little Wassaw/Pine Island, Ossabaw Sound and Adams Creek to Odingsell River.

This is the bar at the mouth of Odingsell.

Basically look for the bars coming from Ft McAllister toward Hells Gate. Be EXTRA sure to follow the markers through Hells Gate, it is a huge mud flat with a NARROW channel through it.
Once past Hells Gate, you have a lot of options depending on the weather and or tides.
Option 1 would be to go straight to the R"12" marker (note the sandbar to the north of it) then to the R"10" (note the bar to the south of it) and on to the G"9" and G"7" can (also note the bar South of these two cans). Cut due North from the G"7" to the Southern tip of Wassaw (note the narrow channel and bar at the mouth of the Odingsell River.
Option 2 would be to go to shoot ENE to the channel between the bar at the R"12" marker and the bar that dumps out at Delegal Creek toward Adams Creek. Keeping in deeper water but well away from the shallow water of the bars in Ossabaw Sound and Little Wassaw/Pine Island flats, on to the G"7" can and then Odingsell.
Option 3, if the sound is very rough, take Adams Creek (note the mud flat just before it), then to Odingsell, up to Wassaw Creek.
Once in Wassaw Creek it will be the first dock you come to.

Best thing to do, is plan a day to run each of these routes so you can get familiar with them depending on the situation needed.
Forgot option 4.
You could forego all of these and run straight to Bradley Point down the South Channel, then all the way to the R"4" bouy, then cut to the G"5" and G"7" cans, to Odinsell. IF the waves ain't bad, they usually are.

Better shot of Bradley Point.

One saving grace for this hunt are the tides being near high when you are planning to arrive and leave.
Wednesday it is high at 8:23AM with an 8.4 foot tide and Sunday it will be high at 12:05PM with a 7.8 tide.
So hopefully with this, the sand bars shouldn't be an issue.

I'll try to color some of these routes on the pictures.
And sorry about most of the pictures being crappy, couldn't fit everything needed and get good zoom too, not to mention NOAA wasn't cooperating.

Here's some of the same pictures painted a little.

The usually impossible shot past Bradley point.

And the bar at the southend of Wassaw to the dock.

Good deal! If I can't get there with a GPS and all your pics I guess I don't deserve to go.

Ya'll have fun! Good pics Tsubaki!
