Skeet Posted July 13, 2013 Report Posted July 13, 2013 Guys...I want to try some fishing in lighthouse cove and I have heard that there are some spots that you can run up on some reefs and screw up a boat. Any tips on where to avoid and what to look for??
westend1 Posted July 13, 2013 Report Posted July 13, 2013 Just slow down and use your depth finder. As you come out of the channel on the cove side, you will time time to stop the boat if you arent going too fast. it goes from 40 to 15 to 2 ft i pretty quick, but not so fast that you can't see it coming.
bullets13 Posted July 13, 2013 Report Posted July 13, 2013 We saw a guy destroy his trolling motor out there last year. You bettermove around REAL slow!
tvc184 Posted July 14, 2013 Report Posted July 14, 2013 Go out there on a real low tide. Then you will have a healthy respect for the hazards and also see where they are.
Skeet Posted July 14, 2013 Author Report Posted July 14, 2013 I found a photo on bing maps of lighthouse cove on a low tide....there's some pretty serious obstructions out there. Thanks for the input. Do you think the best fishing is off and around those reefs or all around in the cove?
westend1 Posted July 14, 2013 Report Posted July 14, 2013 My suggestion. Anchor off the northern most reef and fish the water toward the channel. Unless it's real early or late, the fish will hang in 10 ft of water.
