what flies do you use for specs?

We catch a bunch of seatrout(specks) night fishing for snook. The fly is simple, but kinda hard to describe. Basically, a 2-inch white synthetic tail with a white sparkle collar on a #1 VMC hook. Works great for snook and trout at night.

what worked for me alot fer trout under the docks at night , was a small i mean small fly. tied it down to about the size of a small minnow. peacock top, white flash sides,
ill have to dig it out and take pics.
the far bottom right is the one. i made two. musta lost the 1st. it was the same but had a lil red feathernear the front.
others seem'd to do well at night. the 2nd from top left has a rattle in it. which seem'd to do ok on some snook etc.
the craft foam poppers. were great on super sized lady fish( im talkin' 38+ inchers) and small tarpon at night also.
wish i had pics
but it was all before i had a digital... 8/6/2007 2:57:47 PM
hmmm i have a 5/6 wt rod, what does that limit me to on saltwater fish? I'm confident it could handle specks at least!! Small tarpon would be exciting!!!!!!!

run a super light tippet
and smaller flys. i used to run 2lb test on a 5 ft ultra light on them large lady fish.... bad thing was they were on a flat so,, all they could do was haul ass away,, poor mans bone fish
i also run a 5wt fro bass fishing so, i dont see why it wouldnt do well on some specks and small poons

haha ok cool
i've never fished for tarpon, i know large ones can be caught in mobile bay where i live and since the bay is just a big estuary i'm sure baby ones live here as well. Any tips on how to fish for the tarpon? Spot fishing is made difficult by the muddy bay water, and i don't know if the babies roll like the big ones?
