How many boats will you have??

Farrington Point Wildlife Ramp on Jordan and either Cross Point Landing or Holleman's Crossing Wildlife Ramps on Shearon Harris. All of these are NC Wildlife Commission ramps and you will need a permit to have your tournaments on these. You can apply for your permits by calling the Wildlife Comm. at 919-707-0269. Permits are free. You may want to keep an eye on the larger area tournaments that host a lot of boats and make sure they are not fishing the ramp you want to use on a particular day..it can cause some parking problems.

How about the Seaforth ramp on Jordan?

What is the size limit for bass on Jordan?

You can use Ebenezer Church. Its further down the lake but you dont need a permit. 5 fish limit 2 may be under 14"

One guy in our clb has fished Jordan once before and he suggested Seaforth. The rest of us have never been there.

[Neilslure]

Seaforth doesnt open until 8AM. Poes, Farrington, Robeson Creek and Ebenezer all have 24 hour access, everything else is 8AM. Ebenezer is a state park, they collect some kind of fee for tournaments I have been told.

[Bassman13]

What is the opening time at Seaforth in April, Is it still 8:00am?

Yep, 8AM everyday.

We are now looking at Ebenezer, do we have to get a permit to have a club tournament there?

[RdRngR]

Think so, yes. It's free. Wildlife Comm. 919-707-0269. You need the L1 permit

The Wildlife permit is only valid at their ramps (Farrington only at Jordan), Ebenezer is a state park so they operate under a different system. Call them at

919-362-0586 and they will set you straight. Everyone says a permit is required and ranger warned a club I used to fish when he drove by, yet they dont make things real clear to the public on the topic of tournaments.
