Just wondering what sizw boat do you guys think you need to get to the nearshore reefs?? Also how far is the nearshore reefs from the beginning of the jettys??
boat size depends on winds…somedays, you can get there in a jon boat. I started fishing out there in a 17 ft seapro many years ago. Chas nearshore is 2.5 miles almost straight out from the end of the north jetty. Capers and Chas 60 are about 12 miles out/
Whatever you feel comfortable in, but don’t go past jetties(and anywhere in winter) without a PLB and radio.

I take my 21ft sea pro out to the one north of the jetties a lot during the summer. Just gotta watch the winds and weather. I’ve seen jon boats out there many times but only on perfect days. Ain’t no fun being out there and worried. Just plan your trip and have a buddy boat if possible.
Hey Gonefishing, Bad Bob from Anderson. I go out there in my 19’ Polar BB. I don’t like to go out if the seas are bigger than 3-4 so I usually fish the jetties and then make the trip out if the seas are good.

Yeah i have a 18ft Scout. I been to the jetties many times but never been pass the jetties
I will holler at you next time I go down to see if you are going to be there and if the water is right we can buddy boat out to give it a try.
Hoping to go either the last weekend of March or 2 weekend of April
