Archers Creek

Is it legal to go thru Archers Creek from Beaufort River to Broad River any time? Ranger 22, T-Top, 12" drift, 200 hp

Ranger: Here is the link you need. https://www.law.cornell.edu/cfr/text/33/334.480. You can call the Provost Marshall’s office and get real time info at 843-228-3444. Forget about running that boat through there on low tide.
If this link doesn’t work, just google up Archers Creek Parris Island look at the link to Cornell.

Sometimes it’s closed, depending on what the USMC is doing on Parris Is. One thing is for sure. When it’s closed you will be greeted by a RIB and 4 guys with machine guns, and will know it’s closed.

I’ve met those guys in the rubber boat. Their “people skills” are lacking!

Their sense of humor is even worse :face_with_head_bandage:

Cold morning I strolled over to their boat because it was on anchor. Found them covered up with tarps sleeping in the bottom of the boat. I woke em up and asked if I could fish and they were like yeah yeah whatever and laid back down so I proceeded on over to a flat (in the off limits to civilians area while the range is in use) and started picking off the reds in a huge school. Must have been 300-500 fish. Marines were shooting on the range and were the whole time I was fishing. All the sudden sirens were going off and cease fire was called and my sleeping buddies were woken up by someone who I’m sure wasn’t very happy with them or me! They fired up the big boat and came barreling over to me… I’m in 12" or less of water. They threw up a rooster tail and got stuck on the flat all the while they’re cussing and shaking fists at me. I was like what’s the problem cause they told me I could fish… I used the trolling motor and came off the flat fired up he big motor laughed at them a few times and hauled @$$ left them siting there stuck!

Just want to say THANKS to all the 4 Stars that responded. New to the area and just trying to get my bearings, fished salt water all my life in Florida Panhandle, same fish different tech.

That’s a funny story Adam :smiley: I’ve had a couple of run ins with them myself. Never unpleasant, but usually firm.

I think Archer’s is usually open Saturday afternoons, all day Sundays, and after 5pm on weekdays. Call 843-228-3183 for confirmation.
