    Lost my dad, this July 6 will make 2 years since he's been gone, one of the last good fishing trips we took we caught the limit on sheepshead between us both, your video made me revisit a great day with my dad, thanks!😊

    Your immense respect for these beautiful animals shows and I appreciate that. That's how you can tell a true sportsman from a hack.
    I'm born and raised in Orange County, CA. Have done almost all my fishing here, inshore and offshore. Have done quite a bit of bank fishing in Anchorage, AK as well.
    Love your scientific approach to the new lure. Will definitely subscribe.

    You can get by with 12 lb line, but put a 3 or 4 foot piece of clear plastic air tubing above swivel to protect line from barnacles. Line can slide through tubing when it gets against a piling.

      Seems like you would totally defeat the purpose of the small line. If your goin to put tubing over your line you may as well use a 120 lb mono leader

    • @southernsalt
      @southernsalt  Рік тому +8

      The leader would still be exposed. He’s talking about using tubing around the knot which’s where most of my line drag occurs.

      My newest rod is a 75cm two-section telescopic rod that fits in my small backpack, it’s solid enough, it feels great and it looks great, especially with the reel I bought for it, colours match nicely 👍
      I’m forty now, but since my early twenties my gear has just kept getting smaller and lighter, and the level of fun I’ve had with it gets better and better, lol
      For me, not only is it more fun feeling every little movement, but you know that if you hook a big one you’re really going to have to work hard to land it 👌 🎣

    Charleston, SC here. I bought the Cranka Crab, but I haven't really been able to use it. (Took two weeks to get delivered). Maybe when it gets warmer I will take my 10ft pond prowler in the river and use them. I usually stay near the edge until I get under the bridge. Great catches.

      I saw a video the guy addressed being pinched by using long needle nose plyers and catching them from behind by hand. He also said to leave the big claw attached. I also saw another video where the guy said pull the claw off due to sheephead targeting the claw before hitting the crab and hook, causing you to loose fish and crab.

    yes and the phrase crusty crab is of course also a fantastic choice of marketing term and phrase very specifically marketed at a very specific audience of gen xrs, millennials, and “older” zoomers who will be super familiar with the Simpsons cartoon having grown up with it or watching it. I clicked on this video for that, exact, reason. I was badly hoping you would catch one with it so that I could justify going out and buying one!😂 And now I will save my money for another package of paddletails that I know for sure works having caught fish with them already

    Enjoyed the sheepshead fishing. I've never fished for them before but I heard they're pretty prevalent in the waters around here. I'm in Richlands, NC and lived in Jacksonville, NC for years while stationed at Marine Corps Base, Camp Lejeune. I would fish the Neuse for sea trout and flounder. That's all I would fish for but I heard that sheepshead are a feisty fish. Okay, I'm a NEW SUBSCRIBER to help you hit your 30k subs. Heck, I'm struggling to hit 1.5k much yet your 30k subs. Good on you brother. Best to you and looking forward to more fishing adventures. I gotta go b/c your fishing made me hungry for some Bojangles and that yard bird needs to come see pappa.

    Sarasota Florida. Dug up some fiddler crabs today, will try them out. I do shore fishing but because of the 3 hurricanes we got this year, most of the fishing spots are closed for cleanup.

    I fish with 12 to 17 lbs line depending on the situation I fish that day, but I give the fish a fighting chance, I enjoy the fight not just using a broomstick like some do. Fishing is a great past time and enjoyment. My kids and now grandkids now enjoy catching the Convicts.

      @@southernsalt definitely but .most people in this era of fishing go overboard in some many ways from keeping over the limit to just being A holes. I love fishing the bridges also but my passion for Sheepies is Flats around oyster bars while wading in Tampa Bay area.

    The type of fishing line I'd prefer to use when fishing for sheep head's black dum an flownder fish 🐠🐟🐠🐟 is mono filament line or breaded line at 40 to 60 now if you're fishing off rooks or even fishing off cliffs then onistly it's best to use 80 to 120 lbs test lines
