The creek is open till Aug 15, then it closes to keep people off the Kings. For some dumb reason the DFW says that the mouth of the creek is down on the lower side of the island, when it clearly goes into the Skoke on the topside. They say it is because the river "washed" into the creek. So even when you are clearly fishing the river, they will bust people for fishing on the road side. It makes no sense to me.
