Carolina Fishing TV: Swansboro Sheepshead Part II

[@Snap10aa]

Great videos guys. Thanks a million.

[@dwkfym1]

doing this off of a kayak must be amazingly fun! I caught my first one a week ago. very delicious

[@Bbfishman]

wow man..exciting stuff, seems like these fish are comparable to Blackfish/Tautog up here in NY...we use Fiddler Crabs and once u drop it in the water, your baits gone before you even hit the bottom lol....very fun fishing

[@dougmac8904]

Thanks guys, I learn a lot

[@rickking4443]

I used to live within walking distance of that bridge . I caught a doz. fiddlers and was fishing off of a pier just the other side of this bridge . Sheeps strike is so fast I used all of my bait and didnt catch one . After i used my last crab the sheep that had stole all my bait came up to the top of the water just to see where all those crabs were coming from (or to laugh at me ) These are small compared to whats there . I saw a guy catch a 9 pounder while I was there . Swansboro NC best fishing I ever seen I caught a 20 inch flounder standing right beside the ice house restaurant too.

Great Video I and 2, I fish Morehead City bridge every couple years in July, and never have had much luck, though. The current really rips through there so I have always used heavier weights, thanks going to try lighter weight tackle this year too.

[@seth_thompson07]

Andrea Perseghin Im not criticizing the Morehead bridge but the water isnt as deep as it is under the Swansboro bridge. The current is just as bad but the fishing is a lot better. Ive fished both over my years and our bridge has smoked other spots. The lightest tackle i would consider would be atleast a 3500 reel on a 7' medium action rod with a sensitive tip with 20 pound test power braid and 30lbs. test mono leader

[@steveowens8289]

I caught a 24" sheepshead on live shrimp in Corpus Christi on 1/17/13!!!! along w/ 5others 16 to 20". awful bony to filet ,grilled whole over mesquite fire, awesome!!!

[@landonmartino7873]

I have fished there!!!! Back right is a restaurant called the icehouse!!!

[@TungNguyen-gh6wn]

good video

[@chivasx90]

how do you catch them ? what size hook and bait? because i always see them in the bridge where i fish at big ones and i use a small tiny hook and a piece of shrimp but they never bite!!!

[@Dudgi66]

i wish i was able to salt water fish like this... guess i gotta wait till vacation next year...

[@poisonXvenom]

@nitr0junki3 actually you can call it a pylon as well..

[@springs2112]

Did well fishing this way (first time) near Topsail. They didn't mention in the video how Puffer Fish will come and steal numerous Fiddler Crabs off the hook!

[@StuckonLand]

Hey man, love your videos! What set up were you guy's using, love the look of that spinning reel on the cork rod.

[@carlosnavada7416]

nice video I love sheephead but can't seem to catch them I live in N.C. how late in the year can you fish for them?

[@wooosponge]

I'm new to NC and had a question about what to use for bait for sheephead I've got them on live shrimp but I was wondering if theres anything better

[@bassmafia69brooks36]

wooosponge fiddler crabs

[@blakarican2]

When he was talking about cooking them my moth was watering

[@kipperwhite2976]

Wonder if sand fleas wud be good bait 4 um?? any idea?? TY

[@danielcarter5537]

How stout of a rod would I need to catch sheepshead? Looks like they fight pretty hard for their size.

[@TheAfnormoyle]

i catch them way bigger every time i go under the Destin bridge in FL- 6-10 lbs.Free line barnacles

[@silverblade626]

i thought there was a limit for sheepshead. 12 inches is it in florida i thought

[@lsunationalchamps08]

ive caught them all over.. but when i go there is a bridge but i dont really fish under it i just fish all over im not in a boat so...i dont know maybe it depends on where u live but ive caught them everywhere

[@lsunationalchamps08]

yes man u can use shrimp...ive been catchin sheephead since i was like 5 and i go all the time...ive used shrimp every time...

[@peacewinwar]

i think black drum is becuase i hooked up to 60 to 70 pound ines and spent a long time to pull them in and they mix in with sheaphead it is funny they stick to the sides of the dock

[@MrNuggy420]

@GAROmx yes

[@cwe5445]

man i love sheepshead but in fl they have to be 12in and only have a bag limit of 10 per person :( but great fish i go after when im spearing

[@WolfPackNJC]

@GAROmx makes great sushi too. probably my favorite

[@javieraguilar5885]

can i catch in january this fish or black drum tip where to go thanks

[@ronalddills4566]

The tail is the best part of the fish

[@darknessfalls714]

were can i get those crabs?

[@nitr0junki3]

btw its a "pile or piling" not a "pylon", thats an orange cone in the highway....and yes, sheephead make great eating

[@MrBruceg3rd]

Sheep head have a muddy smell and taste to me. Is their any way to remove that muddy taste? Thanks

[@peacewinwar]

i use shrimp and no afence i think black drum is better but they mix with sheaphead and they stick to the side of the docks

[@bassratt123]

@rwad486487 o.o i live in grant too,u comercially fish for crabs right?

[@aundrefreeman490]

i caught a sheepshead last weekeend it was heavy we were using a circle hook with dead frozen shrimp

[@Xx3nox]

@chivasx90 you see the hook at 2.48.

[@skytalon74]

Florida limits: 15 per day; per person minimum 12" total

[@jhendrix7911]

lmao... thats the best eating fish ive ever eatin. i agree with hotshot172

[@T377-p1u]

i use bits of crabs and shrimp

[@Saltdogx]

I live like a mile away form there

[@WolfPackNJC]

@GAROmx are you kidding me? these fish are one of the best eatin' in the sea =)

[@seth_thompson07]

i have a huge question for anyone that may know...We sheepshead fish under this same bridge and catch baby croaker and pigfish and put them on a 2/0 peen deep sea reel and a heavy rod. We hang into something almost everytime we throw out and it drags us around and eventually breaks our 200 lbs. leader. we have ruled out stingrays sharks and have gotten to its a fish that crushes the fish hits the bait in a full run does not bite the line in half and is very large. can anyone tell us what this fish may be. We think it may be a huge cobia or tarpon or on a very rare case but probably unlikely a sturgeon. We are dying to catch this huge fish.

[@remj5292]

BLACK DRUM

[@fadeawade03]

They look like Frontosas

[@GAROmx]

@WolfPackNJC didnt know i have released several good ones.

[@redbwoy28]

we chum them by knocking the barnacles off the pilings

[@abc123yt1]

Great video. May I ask for some tips: A) do you let the sinker hit the bottom or do you keep it off the sea floor? Also B) how heavy is the sinker and C) how far is the hook from the sinker (swivel)? I have a hard time catching sheepshead. Please reply.

[@DarkSparkCannabis]

24'' holy shit.. 4 years in florida my biggest was 20''

[@TheJohnlongslong]

sheepshead is the hardest fish you will ever try to catch.

[@GAROmx]

can you eat sheepshead?

[@zofoblueszofoblues8339]

Capts LOLZ

[@johngo1224]

little guy

[@dtpeoples]

This is north carolina, not florida. None of you know what youre talking about. Here in nc theres no size limit because theres lots of them and you dont always get them as big when youre fishing instead of spearfishing. In nc shrimp isnt a good bait to use because theres so many pinfish and trashfish here that will get to it first before the sheepshead. Fiddler crabs are great bait for them. You cannot get a citation for speared sheepshead because spearfishing is stupid.

[@grantcallaway9967]

This isn't Florida that's why it's called carolina fishing.

[@aundrefreeman490]

or he needs to learn how to cook

[@hotshot172]

You might need new taste buds

[@cacique311]

they sure know how to fish, but not even close to be chef.

[@TheCaptbob1]

Sharpen your knives and learn how to fillet properly!
