Up north we fish for a fish Tau Tog (Black Fish) we use all of the rigs that you use but our Black fish sweeper rig is slightly different. It holds the crab noticibly higher off the sand. Go to S&S John Skinner Porgy and Blackfish jigs to take a look. Love your videos

Thank you!!

[@jeremysilcox9362]

I love all 4 rigs, but I have 2 more I use at times too. I use a drop shot rig like bass fishing and with a palomar knot. The other one I use is a slip cork rig.

[@southernsalt]

Definitely 2 that’ll get the job done!!

[@mackjenkins7721]

Thanks for the video! Looking to get into Kayak fishing myself. What brand/model kayak do you use for saltwater?

[@southernsalt]

I use the Old Town AP120

[@mikeoneill81]

Awesome help! Thank you. What bridge is that? I’m from Enterprise, AL and I want to drive down and catch my first sheephead.

[@southernsalt]

Thanks man I appreciate it! Just about any bridge or structure will have them in the fall through early spring down here.

[@royschlickeisen2539]

[@davidmcnairn1015]

I use a slip cork. But whatever works for you. Thank you for the contact.

[@southernsalt]

Nice!

[@hawnjoe925]

[@southernsalt]

Awesome, thank you!!

[@stevenm.faulconer1031]

What sort of bucket are you using for the fiddlers? Been using different containers and they are all leaving me wanting.

[@southernsalt]

The best fiddler bucket I’ve found is a cricket cage

[@Sumpinsfishie1]

So what would youbuse in heavy current? We have a tide differential of 8-9 ft here, so that current gets pretty strong. Also, what would you suggest using if you are fishing oyster beds (especially from shore)?

[@southernsalt]

You’d probably have to go with a Carolina rig and step your weight up until you’re line can hold next to the piling.

[@kylemoffett7859]

Based on your 4 examples, it seems like the studs are in the lower water column. Has that been your experience?

[@southernsalt]

80 percent of the time I get them on the bottom but sometimes they’re just beneath the surface

[@danc4454]

I have a Lynx which I know you like but how are you liking the auto pilot? I saw your video on it but curious if you are still enjoying it. Debating on adding it to arsenal.

[@southernsalt]

Absolutely love the Autopilot, highly recommended it!!

[@daltonjohnson3289]

You need to come get on the boat with me Nate and do a commercial day at the island

[@southernsalt]

🙌 🙌

[@ryanboykin1035]

Great video! Never fished for sheepshead. Is there not an artificial choice for them?

[@southernsalt]

Thanks brother! Yeah I use tiny vudoo shrimp and Cranka crabs. I’ll put a video out soon!

[@mechanic350]

Can you tell me the part number and name of your net?

[@justinpootin4021]

I use slip bobber or split shot rig

[@southernsalt]

Nice!

[@TidewaterFishing]

what Camra do you use?

[@southernsalt]

GoPro hero 10

[@theoutsidertv]

Try the ol slip cork crappie rig

[@southernsalt]

🙌

[@BIGJOHNSHVAC]

I am a novice, are the sheepshead inshore now? I fish in the perdido bay area

[@southernsalt]

Yes the big ones just started moving in.
