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.
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 :)
I used to live in Tampa and did the same thing off of several bridges. You are right on target with how good the Sheepshead taste! Oh I miss FL! In AZ now. :(
I love what you've got going on with the videos. I am like you, fisherman on a budget. I've put to good use some of your ideas. Thanks for sharing your ups and downs in this thing called LIFE. Tight lines and catch many fish!
Nice Marty! I think your channel is the first channel i ever came back and watched every time you uploaded! Hard to believe its been 2 years since i started watching. Back with the poor mans kayak. My favorite vid is when you took that Jon Boat under the bridge and fished sheepshead with your tiny open face reel. Keep up the good work!!:-)
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 even tried busting up an oyster but I was never successful. Your method of chumming them is awesome and very doable! Thanks for the tips!
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.
Yum, yum, yum, yum, yum! Lol You the man, Marty! Way to take lemons and make lemonade, first with the chore of barnacle removal, and then again with the rain. Awesome video!!! Thanks for sharing!
My dad showed me to chum the water with them years ago, but actually using them as bait never really crossed my mind! Used old frozen crab for the most part. great tip and an awesome video! just subscribed and look forward to more!
hey Marty, i really love watching people catching and cook fishing videos on youtube. so i want to request a bit more catch-and-cook videos ! thanks man your just got another sub , keep up the good work!
Awesome video. Can wait to use the tips. Remind me that I have many snails on my sidewalks... Such a nuance trying ri avoid stepping on them... Then I wondered if they worked well for fish bait... Haven't tried them out yet... Anywho... Great video -JaimeAstin
im so stoned that the slow music and him showing all the creatures on the ladder up close up and said what struck him was bait as he started chislein away and i felt i was watching mass murder lololol
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.
nice catch...i always go to gandy and use a square shovel to scrape them off ,ive hooked into some of those monster black drum 30+ lbs on occasion ! a shot of the teeth of those sheepheads would be interesting to the fans. thxs for gr8 vid
I live up in the Destin, Fort Walton Brach area. And i would love to meet and fish for sheep head with you, using this technique. This is awesome! Great videos!
*lol* When I lived in Ponce Inlet, one of my buddy['s dads would start chucking out diced clam or canned choppd clam around the fishing pier, and you'd see nothing but sheepshead for the next 15 minutes. Lots of fun. :D
Those fish have some unique looking teeth. I found it useful to use a very light colored and light weight steel leader when fishing for Sheep Head. Off the Pan Handle of Florida.
Hey Marti, I just noticed the type of paddle that you are using. 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.
the way he talks is just so calm and mellow i love it.... great stuff bro
not gonna lie dude, that was a really friggen good idea. nice discovery
not really a discovery
Hmmmm never thought to use SH as a po'boy. Dang that sounds good...
john smith You are a FUCKING IDIOT!!!

We learn this as kids in FL
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.
Martin Garza I wonce caught a sheepshead with a shrimp
Barnacles are my secret weapon for sheepshead. They go nuts for it
That's awesome! Free bait, good fishing and eating!! Thanks!
Larry
You mean Marty
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 :)
The road and bridge department should sponsor you for cleaning their bridges. ;-)
Looked good and tasty!!!
Great job Marty! We are coming to visit the kids and grandkids in Port St Lucie in October. We love catching sheepshead.
I bought a sun dolphin as journey kayak because I was watching your video and you inspired me to buy it!
I really love fishing, I started fishing about a week ago 😏
How’s it gone 5 years later?
@@quackerman211 wow I forgot I even commented it. Due to health issues I haven't fished in years, but I'm hoping to get started again these holidays!
@@mega91111 good luck man I hope you start feeling better
I used to live in Tampa and did the same thing off of several bridges. You are right on target with how good the Sheepshead taste! Oh I miss FL! In AZ now. :(
Great Tip! Never really had thought about using barnacles for bait!
love your videos man, can really feel the wisdom from each of them
I love what you've got going on with the videos. I am like you, fisherman on a budget. I've put to good use some of your ideas. Thanks for sharing your ups and downs in this thing called LIFE. Tight lines and catch many fish!
Nice Marty! I think your channel is the first channel i ever came back and watched every time you uploaded! Hard to believe its been 2 years since i started watching. Back with the poor mans kayak. My favorite vid is when you took that Jon Boat under the bridge and fished sheepshead with your tiny open face reel. Keep up the good work!!:-)
Seen all your videos, keep it up! I'm a fan... You Have to set up some crab traps around your boat!
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 even tried busting up an oyster but I was never successful. Your method of chumming them is awesome and very doable! Thanks for the tips!
Awesome video Marty! Love the scrape, net and chum attack. Keep it up. Love your videos. Learned a lot from you. Tight lines dude!
I love all the time and effort you put in to these! You're defiantly my favorite kayak fisher!
Quixotic is my favorite word :^)
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.
Yum, yum, yum, yum, yum! Lol
You the man, Marty!
Way to take lemons and make lemonade, first with the chore of barnacle removal, and then again with the rain. Awesome video!!! Thanks for sharing!
Wow!
Fishing in a rainy day under a bridge on a canoe... alone... that must feel awesome.
The world is all yours. so jealous
lived in Tampa for years and caught a lot of fish but never have I fished for Sheepshead. Great tips
It's so nice to watch your relaxing, peaceful, good time videos.
You inspired me to buy my own kayak and GoPro! Keep up the great videos man!
Nice sheeperz...good technique...I did some scraping in Port Canaveral for a few months...lots of fun and good eating. Another good video Marty !
Love it man ,I've watched all your videos I think you made the best choice to live on the boat keep it up.
Your videos are refreshing sir. Thank you
My dad showed me to chum the water with them years ago, but actually using them as bait never really crossed my mind! Used old frozen crab for the most part. great tip and an awesome video! just subscribed and look forward to more!
Great video Marty. That last one is HUGE
Hey neighbor. I'm from St.Pete, Love your videos and great ideas.
Love the videos Marty! Keep them coming.
Thats the way to do it !!!! That oyster looked good enough to eat !! Bit of lemon juice...yum !
I am just amazed how simple you make it look!
Waste not, want not. Good stuff Marty, adventure on brother!
Coolness!! Great video. I like how it shows fishing with what's available. You don't need to spend thousands of dollars to catch fish.
I thought I was a hardcore kayak fisherman. Fishing near the middle of the bridge (boat wakes) in the rain with barnacles. You have me beat.
hey Marty, i really love watching people catching and cook fishing videos on youtube. so i want to request a bit more catch-and-cook videos ! thanks man your just got another sub , keep up the good work!
your camera skills and shots are great...such a story teller. love your videos...very pro camera work..
You did it again Marty, Another great video!
innovative as always
Great video. Thanks for all the good tips!
i’ve watched this so many times it brings back memories
Great idea, looks you have a lot of fun no matter the weather... I like that.
It was really cool seeing the rock crabs in with the barnacles!
Awesome video. Can wait to use the tips.
Remind me that I have many snails on my sidewalks... Such a nuance trying ri avoid stepping on them... Then I wondered if they worked well for fish bait... Haven't tried them out yet... Anywho...
Great video

Awesome! Loved that vid! Keep them coming.
Sheepshead are always a fun catch, I remember once down at my dock space, I caught a sheepshead with a dip net, easy dinner for me that night.
You're really good at fishing!
Love watching your videos! Keep it up!
Loved it..wish youd do more of these types of videos.
I really like the way you commentate your videos
Agreed! Kind of like a "Mr. Roger's" calming voice sort of way. Not too much talking, just right.
It's good to know you can always get sheepshead quick and easily from the bridges:) Nice one Marty!! Mmmm
nice catch...i always go to gandy and use a square shovel to scrape them off ,ive hooked into some of those monster black drum 30+ lbs on occasion ! a shot of the teeth of those sheepheads would be interesting to the fans. thxs for gr8 vid

Chummin' with barnacles lol. Sure can be tough to get a good hookset on the ice rod. The Zoff strikes again!
Those fish have some unique looking teeth. I found it useful to use a very light colored and light weight steel leader when fishing for Sheep Head. Off the Pan Handle of Florida.
