IS THERE A MOTOR SIZE LIMIT
OR ANY OUTHER RESTRICTIONS
BOAT LANDINGS SO FORTH. :fish
No limits
Be aware half the lake is in NC half in SC, both require their own license
HOW MUCH IS NC LICENSE
Pretty sure it's $35.00 plus a couple buck administration fee( on line)
You'll only need the NC if you go North past the Buster Boyd bridge at Hwy 49
The best landing is probably at the Buster Boyd bridge on highway 49. The Allison landing is on highway 274 about 15 miles off I-77. The Ebenezer landing is probably the closest to I-77. It is on Mount Gallant road 5-6 miles out of Rock Hill. All are excellent landings with multiple lanes and adjacent docks. It depends really on where you want to fish.Quote:

Where are you driving from??
David, you planning on coming up for the NC/SC clash? Like everyone said you'll be safe at any landing. All can handle pontoons and any bass boat out there. Day or night trip let us know and we'll try to point you in the right direction. We don't have but a couple of hazardous areas and we can let you know if you are coming up.
Actually the NC state line starts just above Torrence Creek and runs all the way up the East Bank to Catawba Crk and anything North of Catawba crk is NC. You can fish above Buster boyd if you stay on the west side of the lake, like mill crk and Catawba crk back to the bridge. Id suggest getting the license or a map.Quote:

As some one said the N.C./S.C/ line starts down at Torrence Branch.But plenty of S.C.water to fish if you dont want to spend the$35.00 for N.C. license. Great campground at Ebenezer. Lot of motels close. Maybe even get the spare room at BigDawggs mansion. P.M. if ya need any info. Would love to see ya on the 14th. Check out the sticky at top of page.
You can get a 10 day non resident NC license for $18. Also Crowders Creek is all in South Carolina
I'll send you ALL CK's MEGA-CANT-MISS GPS numbers for 20 bucks!!
All sweet SC SPOTS, I'll even send you Oldfish numbers if your arm gets tired from reeling in the big boys !😎
your fixin to get somebody in a heap of trouble....the NC/SC line is the middle of the river from the mouth of the Southfork river all the way to the Island just north of Torrence creek.........the west bank is SC while the east bank is NC, except for the back of Catawba creek also known as seven oaks, thats in NC....if you fish that area you best have both licenses because the line isn't marked but it somewhere before you go under Hwy 279 bridgeQuote:

Seven Oaks Bridge is in NC according to the N.C.G.S. signs on the bridge. That's what a NC game warden told me. And with the signs on the pilings makes sense. So from the bridge back to the back of the creek is in NC.
From the bridge out is SC.
Hope that helps.
