Chowan River - MLF BPT Pre-Practice 

Very cool. Woo is a great guy.

You are 💯 percent correct.

I believe it.

Huge snakes

So much is off limits when we get back there. But the good news is that I can fish the alligator and have some fun on my days off.

It took 29 pounds to win a club tournament two weeks ago. None of the rivers that feed the Albemarle sound are true tidal rivers like the Potomac or James rivers. The salt content in the alligator river is slightly higher due to it being further east . This sometimes has a negative impact on the spawn in that river. The wind direction has the biggest impact on these rivers. There is no “running the tide” like you find in the James river or Potomac River.

I agree there is no running the tide. It’s nothing like Potomac or a ‘true’ tidal river. I was only saying that navionics shows a tide chart. Looks further out than where we will be fishing though. I’m excited to get back there for sure!

It is a tidal river…. But it does not fluctuate very much. (According to the tide charts online.). So it’s not very noticeable. But I agree that the wind is a much bigger deal.

No Brent it is not a tidal river. I live in Edenton. The ocean tides do not affect the he river.

@@marlowe61 I hear ya…. I’m going by my research. It has a tidal chart on the navionics app it shows a tide chart for edenton, NC. Tidetime.org too. Less than one ft fluctuation… but it says it does. Not trying to argue, just saying what my research shows. But I could be wrong. The internet is full of misinformation.

Im sure you have first have knowledge. Im truly not trying to disrespect… just stating what it shows online.

If u go out farther to the alligator it is tidal
