I wanted to give everyone that uses this landing a heads-up that the dock is now off-limits. I noticed this on Sunday afternoon when I attempted to fish. I fish solo a bunch so without the use of the dock this landing is useless to me. I’ve contacted Fern this morning to get an update and will let everyone know what I hear back.

I havent been to that landing in many years. and the dock was iffy then. One of the reasons I’m no longer a member
Good thing. That was a lawsuit waiting to happen. I have used the landing but not the dock for several months. It was too dangerous IMO

I’ve been sliding over my bow for a while now, maybe they will fix it! (Fingers crossed)

I suspect the days of ncfc are numbered. I hope not

I know my buddy used to put in there and tried to talk to the owners for years about getting it fixed and they never did a thing. Needless to say he stopped using it…

Fern was quick with a response yesterday afternoon. She informed me that Hess has sold the property and she is waiting for the opportunity to speak with the new owners. That discussion will determine the fate of using the landing. She mentioned that the dock would be rebuilt if NCFC is allowed to continue using the landing. Information will be send as soon as she has an update.
Yes Optiker, fingers crossed.

Thanks for the unpate Superdave. If they put a new dock I might join again.
A floater would be nice 
Hey, a guy can wish can’t he??

Not a member but, have put in there with a friend. Great jumping off point for that area. A new dock would be nice, that existing one is a bit scary.

Don’t know if this is the gospel but the word I got is if the lease is renewed which should know in a month or so . That some improvements are possible . Keep your fingers crossed

I’d bet a dollar the new owners won’t go for it. Those days are past I believe. No one can afford to be nice anymore.
I hope I’m wrong, though. The Cooper NEEDS decent access below 526. It would be nice if someone donated one of those long abandoned parcels in Shipyard Creek and DNR put a landing in there. Get some kind of value out of that land rape.

Plans for a landing at south end of the old base was to be in shipyard creek but got shot down a couple years ago by the plant on the other side of the creek. Said it would create too much traffic in and out.

The old landing on the old navy base could be upgraded, it would cost a lot. There could be ample parking spaces made available.
I know money is tight, however, the fishing and water sports community needs some help. Keep contacting all the politican’s until we have new access to the lower Cooper river.

There is no ramp on the Navy base anymore. The old seaplane ramp is mow under tons of earth where the new port is being built

dangerous to be in there when tugs are spinning a ship
Dock or no dock I still would like the landing to stay open so I can join. A nice dock would be awesome there though! Wish they could pave that road also.

The answer here is to get in touch with your representatives about getting some federal funding for a new ramp. Did you know that the City Marina just got a multi-million dollar federal grant to help extend the Megadock? That grant money is funded by excise tax money that fishing tackle manufacturers are required to pay on everything they sell (bet you didn’t know that). The fund is supposed to promote public access to boating. Not sure how extending the Megadock does that. I guess it’s all about who you know.
