can someone tell me how far it is to Corolla by water? And what would be the best place to launch my 21FT? Thanks for the info, just trying to catch my first FAT striper. Great site and good info

The best place to launch is Owls Creek inside Rudee Inlet. The distance down to Currituct light (Corrola) is about 25NM.
Good luck I'll Be out there Sat AM
