  • This famous bridge has some of the largest Sheepshead I've ever seen! In this video I head out kayak fishing around bridges for sheepshead. The bait of choice for this trip is live fiddler crabs. It only took a couple of minutes for us to start hooking up with sheepshead on nearly every cast!

    Here I am thinking you're the Flounder whisperer, and SURPRISE you're putting on a masterclass on catching convicts. One of things I love about the channel is you're a conservationist at heart. Not scraping barnacles to protect the future of the ecosystem is something I never even considered. Raising the collective cognition, love it man!

      Thanks brother! Yeah it took me a while to realize some of my best spots were drying up and when I looked harder I realized all the barnacles were gone from people chumming the pilings. There may not be much to it but it’s my theory anyway lol

      Leave you boat in the water for 3 to 7 days it will have barnacle’s all over the haul . They grow so rapid it will blow your mind

    QUESTION... do you ever fish WEEKS BAY or FISH RIVER?
    My best friend has a house 4 miles up fish river and I'll be going there as frequent as possible. Looking for tips and tricks of that area. It is pretty solid brakish water, catching bass along with reds a lot of the times. Wandering if sheepshead will go up in the brakish water.
