Sounds like a hell of a fun boat ride and I've always wanted to make that trip in my boat. That said I've fished a couple lodges in Rivers Inlet and will never go back again. Many days with no fish, but when you do hook into one it can be a good one. From my perspective thier is a lot of better water to fish that you are going to be going past. Just my 2 cents. Sounds like a great trip, I would go for it and budget enough time to fish some other spots.
