I might throw the boat in for one of those days. Right now the bite is moving around a little as boats are finding them north and south out of Rudee. If you are putting in at Owls Creek the only ramp in Rudee they have had several days (weekends) where the police have shut down the ramps do to parking and trafic. They do have overflow parking but even that has filled up very quickly causing them to shut down the ramps as early as 9:00am on weekends. I've heard of people getting to the ramps around 7:00am only to find 1/4 mile back ups taking up to an hour and more to launch boats and thats before they even close down the ramps. I'm not trying to put a damper on your trip but thought you may want to know what has happened the past couple of weekends. If its cold out usually it will reduce the boats making it much easier to launch. As a back up plan you may want to get directions to other ramps located around the Lynhaven River. By the Lesnier Bridge their is a nice public ramp and a few other private ramps. That brings you out into the bay but you are only about 5 miles from Cap Henry and the ocean. I just noticed that the 25th is a friday so you should be ok putting in at Owls Creek but may have to use the overflow parking. If you make a left out of the ramp parking lot it is the first right about 1/2 block up the road. I will try to take that day off and hook up with you guys.
