      do you sell the bottom sweeper jig? Where would I find the barnacle/chumming rules? Curiousa about Sarasota and AMI

    I chum the same way but hook the crabs differently, there is a soft spot behind the claw that i go through then straight out the back. They stay alive longer that way. Also, have a net handy, when they get to the 5+ lb range there gonna be tough to sling in. Another tip, you cant set the hook too hard. Sometimes it will catch a tooth and never make it through the mouth. Mud crabs seem to do better for me than fiddlers. Also, if you have urchins available, use them. Hands down the way to catch monsters. Cut the spines off with scissors, hook them from the bottom then come out the side. Make a small crack in the shell to get the juice flowing. I use a pretty heavy set up, penn battle 5000 and medium heavy rod. Set the drag fairly tight and hold on. So fun

    This makes a lot of sense to me now after seeing it (both the scraping and use of fiddlers). Time to get out to the bridge and try to catch some of these

    Like for real. I fish out of St. Augustine Florida and Jax a lot. Literally the second people scrape the sides of the pylons clean around the bridges. Which happens every year. The sheepshead numbers dwindle drastically. Been fishing those areas for years and see what it does year after year.

    I like to pull the big claw off if I'm dangling my bait just off the bottom, like from a bridge, because the fish will go for the claw first and cause you to miss your hook set. I toss the claw in before I drop my line, sort of like a micro chum. If I was using this rig on the bottom, I agree with Tony, leave it on, they love that waving claw.

    • @scottmichael3745
      @scottmichael3745 3 роки тому +1

      I use fiddlers all the time. They are NOT water crabs, they breath Air! You'll drown them if submerged in water. They can't dry out either but they pee a lot so most people leave them in a bucket of Cool wet sand for long term storage with drain holes so they don't die in there own piss. If just keeping them for a day, use a small cooler or bait bucket and rinse a few times during the day.

    This ruins sheepshead holes. You scrape off all those barnacles where all those crabs and stuff live. The sheepshead have no reason to come back once you scrape all that off. This is so stupid. I’ve literally sat at a bridge pylon and got 100’s of fish. Weeks later others had scraped the entire pylon after seeing me and I couldn’t catch but a few every time I went back to that hole after they did that.

    This destroys sheepshead habitat more than it helps you catch fish. Those fish will hold on that same structure for months if you don’t take away their food source by scraping it into the water.

    You’re ruining the hole for everyone so you can catch 2 or 3. And those commercial guys who rely on those fish being there suffer. Someone who’s on the water almost daily to support his family has to work harder bc this kind of bad advice.
