csmith30259 Posted January 24, 2020 Report Share Posted January 24, 2020 Hi All - Looking to take some friends out fishing. Have a house rented in July and would love to know if anyone has some ideas of good fly fishing spots for myself and friends. I’ll be cruising the beach and around dog island for some tarpon The friends are more conventional gear fishing and I’d like to put them on some fish. And ideas would be appreciated! Thank you all in advance! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bamaskeet Posted January 25, 2020 Report Share Posted January 25, 2020 I suggest you try bait fish around East Pass. Turkey shoals is a good spot for Tarpon and trout with a fly rod. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craSSh Posted January 26, 2020 Report Share Posted January 26, 2020 Years ago, tarpon would get stacked up in Mud Cove at Alligator Point, along with the big sharks. Water clarity is horrible there, so I'm not sure about fly fishing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greenbone Posted February 19, 2020 Report Share Posted February 19, 2020 The south side of Lanark reef is a go to spot for tarpon, you can’t miss it for the staked off guides. And yes ,they are very territorial. There are plenty reefs just off Dog Island if you’re interested in bottom fish’n. Go to Franklin County reefs for a list . Good luck.

Yea I do some tarpon on the Fly there around Lanark Reef and the beaches of Alligator Point. Just wanted to put the crew on some other easy fishing. Do you know of any areas for some reds around dog island? I always here talk of that but can never seem to find the spots. Much appreciated!

greenbone Posted February 20, 2020 Report Share Posted February 20, 2020 The mouth of the harbor on east side of Dog Island, fish the flats below the dunes, either side for reds. The flats at ballast cove, watch your tides, the ballast rocks hardly ever exposed. East pass is still holding some bulls,warning - don’t take a knife to a gun fight. east of marine lab have always held some reds. If you see green 18.5 MA, give me a shout. good luck, Don Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
