    Nate, don't let it bother you when people say you're a fraud. They are "LOW LIFERS" and "JEALOUS " of your success on the channel and your knowledge for catching big fish. They probably don't have two nickels to rub together. Thanks for another great video! 👍

    Awesome video as always! In my defense, I never called you out as a fraud. In my video I was just experimenting with the worms and mud crabs in my area of Florida and didn't catch Sheepshead on the worms. I made it clear in my video that I'd proved to myself that the worms didn't work in my area of Florida. Great idea for a video though, good job!

    Second sheeps vid I watched. Crickets, now worms. Like I commented in the other video, I've never caught one. Have to target them soon. Btw, I talked to a guy here in Savannah who catches trout on the small red wrigglers in the spring and fall. Crazy... can't wait to watch more of your videos! Love how excited you get!!

    Wish the haters would take a hike, but glad you did the underwater video because it was badass. Talk about a sheepshead hot spot! I've been fishing salt water with worms for years, and I can attest that Sheepshead LOVE worms. Salt water worms are a staple of their natural diet, so it makes perfect sense they'd slurp any worm you dropped down. Anyone out there saying it's fake because they don't catch anything with them, just proves they don't know how to fish.

    Nice catching SS I'm in the UK and sadly don't have fishing like you do. I used to run an angling boat from Brixham in Devon. Wrasse and rockfish in inshore waters up to maybe 6 lbs, wreck fishing in deeper waters with Cod, Ling, Conger eel, Bass, etc. I was lucky enough to visit the US for two three month holidays up in Superior Wi and Duluth Mn. Fresh water of course but caught Sturgeon up to 94 lbs, Large mouth Bass of 81/2 pounds. Us Limeys don't measure fish in feet and inches,but rely on weight instead. You have a new fan buddy. Tight lines.

That was last year, my nephew is skeptical too but he went with me and he said dude I'll never use anything else if they have a little bit of Sun so they can see it and you don't drop it all the way to the bottom you just have to find the right column of water and it works great and a little bit of sunlight helps a lot

    I don’t know why I’ve never thought of using worms to catch Sheepshead but thinking about it, it actually makes sense. The Ocean bottom is literally CRAWLING with invertebrates and while there aren’t going to be any Earth worms down there, there are HUGE numbers of Polychaetes (segmented worms), flat worms, round worms, etc. and within each category there are probably dozens if not hundreds of different species. There’s a huge biomass down there so why wouldn’t Sheepshead be eating them and Earthworms look close enough for government work

    I'm very impressed with the footage. The water clarity is similar to one of the bays we fish. Maybe a foot or so of visibility. I'm even more impressed (or maybe surprised) that there weren't fobs of croaker and pinfish. We have to fight our way through those guys to even get to the sheepshead.

    Trying to prove or disprove something in fishing is almost impossible. If the fish aren't biting it doesn't matter what bait you use. Knowledge and skills matter too. I tried worms once and didn't catch anything. It only made me believe there were no fish there or they just weren't biting. Still going to try them.

      Depends on the state, some states are Tl and some are FL but for the sake of me measuring to give you the length of the fish I’m always going to go with Total length.

    You should put the camera rig with a Cranka Crab or other fake crab you use to see how hesitant the sheeps are to hit it compared to a real fiddler.
