    Thanks for sharing! As a kid (many years ago!!), I would fish under the bridge that connects Corpus Christi and Padre island, Texas. The sheepshead were always around the concrete pillars.

    When the water is clear and sheephead are eating barnacles off pillions they ignore shrimp completely even inches from their face.

    Excellent video, thanks Marty. I know I'm not your "teacher / sensei" here but it makes me feel really proud to not only see you using your instincts to attack your fishing from a completely different angle, but also playing your catch so well rather than trying to simply skull drag them to the surface. Keep it up buddy :)

    This is great! I'm going to try this the next time I go to the coast. I've seen some monster Sheepshead on the Texas coast but could never get them to bite.

    I went sheephead fishing with my dad, uncle and cousin near Yulee. Never really fished my entire life but the 3 of them were originally from that area.
    Used fiddler crabs and couldn't believe the "art" to catching sheephead. One of the best times of my life.

    Hey buddy that was an awesome video. I grew up in the Ft Myers area and have done a very similar thing. We would get an old garden hoe and straighten it out and use it to scrape barnacles. We would just use little pieces of shrimp on a little hook. pretty much the same idea. Man I love some sheephead my favorite drum!!! I haven't seen all your videos yet but I would love to see you go after some cobia another awesome eating fighting fish.

I had one very similar to that before, it actually broke so we got it replace by one that had a much more flat end to it and bigger (it also had padding were you hold it with your hands). I noticed a difference immediately. I reccomend you try one out!! Love the vid Marti!!

    I never used the barnacles themselves as bait, but I do use them for chum, Use a heavy wood or metal pole and scrap a few furrows in the barnacles just below the waterline. Then I would drop a live fiddler crab right there. Worked like a charm, and not too many trash fish go for those fiddlers.
