Hi John,
The few times I've seen scouts camping on the island was adjacent to the New Harbor Channel in the dunes. That place is perfect for salt water fishing in August - probably plenty of fluke, scup, and occasional bass/bluefish. Freshwater ponds in August may be pretty choked with weed. Not sure how many scouts you'll be able to get into some of the ponds because of limited access areas. Here are a few that have good populations of panfish, occasional largemouth/pickeral. John E. Tug Hole off of Pilot Hill Road - you'll be fishing just off the dirt road so use caution because of other vehicles. Mitchells Pond off Lakeside Drive - caution again for cars/mopeds. There is also a pond I call the Airport Pond which is just SW of the airport off the west side of Center Road. This area is off the road and has room for maybe two/three vehicles. Well, there you have my sweet water spot burn - teach them C&R. Oh, very important - bring your own worms! - the island soil is too sandy to find many. Call me if you need any other details.
