Catching Sheepshead Fishing With Shrimp Rigging Tips

[@rustyshackleford928]

Thanks JC. I just found your channel a few months back. Now I'm going through older videos learning so much!

[@ADVENTURESOFBZ]

I'll never understand why people give thumbs down to good videos. Makes no sense, my man RAD is informative, clean language and just fun to watch. What's not to like!! I gave my thumbs up!!

[@5000jaycee]

Thank you for all of your content , I have caught tons of fish with all of your help sir ! 💪🏾💪🏾

[@hmanone1063]

Thanks for sharing your ideas. I'm still waiting to hook my first sheepshead. I've focused on pier pilings so it was helpful to see you fishing off the rocks at the jetty.

[@RadReelingFishing]

Apparently during the winter months is the best time to catch them in S. Fl. Thanks for commenting.

@@RadReelingFishing I'm in Venice now in Nov. thanks for the video, I look forward to catching my first Sheephead!

[@chrischevy7461]

Hey JC! Great video.....who needs a boat to go fish? Was watching your video on sheepies under the bridge and around docks. Bring a small garden shovel and scrape those barnacles of the concrete and the docks. Chums 'em up and keeps 'em around a bit longer. Thanks for all the videos!!! You are a rock star man!

[@outdoorztime2923]

Liked and Subscribed Those a beautiful fish! I might just need to take a trip to Florida and give it a try one Spring. With you nice, laid-out tips, you've given all of us a great start. Thanks! 👍

[@mattgurin6168]

Great tips, I fish mono as well. Owner hooks are the only way to go !!

[@jrob5745]

I can't wait to get down there in 1 month! Was even watching the Jetty Cam today wishing i wuz fishin

[@RadReelingFishing]

I stopped by there today. Not much action happening yet. Next month the Sheepshead will be thick, hopefully that is if red tide hasn't damaged the population too much.

Hay JC thanks for making these videos on sheeps heads, me and my dad are trying to catch some ,but we never are able to lol, the videos help us learn though, thanks.

[@WaterandIceOutdoors]

Thanks for the tips! I'm heading down to Clearwater beach this weekend. Learned a little from the locals last year and hopefully will get on them myself this year!

[@RadReelingFishing]

You are welcome. i hope you have good weather and great success.

[@WaterandIceOutdoors]

Rad Reeling Fishing KZbin Is the bite better on sunny or cloudy days? They seem to congregate near docks and piers a lot so maybe sunny days would concentrate them more on the structure for shade? Thanks for the help!

[@soflaoutdoorstv9747]

Awesome video like always! Love sheepshead but they are a pain to clean but definitely with the trouble!

[@spraym88]

Great video... still havent caught my 1st Sheep yet, but I'm going to try again tomorrow here in Clearwater Fl.

[@RadReelingFishing]

The winter months are best for Sheepshead.

[@spraym88]

@@RadReelingFishing I just caught 1 on Sunday, small 8", but my Wife caught a Nice 12 1/2" Sheepshead on live shrimp, Threw it back in but BEAUTIFUL FISH

[@lukemarais41]

@radreelingfishing, search for Silver Steenbras (mussel cracker) in South Africa. The body shape of it is so similar to the Sheepshead, but they get very big. It's a very strong fish as well. I caught a 13lb fish using a 10ft Shimano Vengeance coupled with a Daiwa Laguna 4000bi reel. I thought the rod was going to snap and that was considered a small mussel cracker.

[@RadReelingFishing]

Thanks for commenting...Oh, I understand the linking the search term now.

[@lukemarais41]

@@RadReelingFishing apologies, I wasn't clear enough. I meant a Google search 👍

[@wildmang9728]

I loved this video JC! Sheepshead are good eatin & great fighters!

[@RadReelingFishing]

I agree with you there man. I baked up some sheepshead today for lunch, absolutely amazing!

[@catherineb5066]

Thanks for this ! Dont laugh but sheepshead just happens to be the only fish that I havent been able to catch yet...🎣 oh I have hooked them but they managed to pop off..the bucket seems the safest method to me...

[@mattgurin6168]

Def use sharp hooks,real sharp hooks

[@FrankLadd]

Knocker rig for the win!

[@RadReelingFishing]

It's working.

[@thomashughes9361]

Where were you fishing here? Good info for sheepies👍

[@ljelect]

JC your sheephead skill is good but your Snowbird skill is great :)

[@RadReelingFishing]

Ha ha...I am so ready for an awesome Sheepshead bite. I need to find some in the yak for sure.

[@code1outdoors311]

Cool video. Love that spot. Great sunsets.

[@xxxog8446]

This is crazy! I live within walking distance of the jetty he fishes in this video and I was planning on fishing for sheepshead tomorrow morning at this same place and just decided to do some research

[@RadReelingFishing]

Please let me know how you did. It's a little early for sheepshead to be there, especially after all of the red tide we've had. Thanks for watching and commenting.

[@xxxog8446]

Rad Reeling Fishing I saw 20-30 sheepshead there in the early morning about a week ago but I haven’t seen anyone catch any. I haven’t seen them since but still tried and had no luck.

[@addictiontothewild]

Man love this video bro. You got me HYPE BRO. Love the how to buddy.

[@RadReelingFishing]

Thanks, I had no idea they were so easy to catch when they are spawning in the winter, ridiculous how many you can see cruising along the rocks.

[@addictiontothewild]

Rad Reeling Fishing Yeah that's cool to know. Keep up the work buddy

[@Locolokisimo]

Good video man wanted to ask how much is to register the oldtown 106 am also here in Florida thanks for the videos keep it coming 👍🏼

[@RadReelingFishing]

Thanks for watching. Make sure you register the kayak as a canoe or kayak not a boat. I think it was about $20. Here's a page to help: www.flhsmv.gov/motor-vehicles-tags-titles/vessels/vessel-titling-registrations/

[@richardlombardi7199]

Great video that’s my second favorite spot for the Sheepshead

[@RadReelingFishing]

Ha ha...I hope they migrate in this year when the water temp cools down and the red tide dies off. That is, if there are any sheepshead still alive in our area.

[@richardlombardi7199]

Yeah amen to that

[@delaunayftv4984]

👍👍👍👍👍👍☺️☺️☺️☺️🥵

[@benibenben8653]

I feel your frustration with all the people interrupting you. I don’t mind showing people my methods but it seems they always come at the wrong time... I need a boat

Rad Reeling Fishing as far as I know they showed up 2 years ago and never again after that and when they did was around 10 was caught and by one dude only lmao.

Thanks for the complement. I fish the south Florida area.

[@miamiwax5504]

You know what they say, if u ever wanna start a conversation with a tourist in Florida, just go fishing.

[@1539Mickey]

JC, Do you keep a tight line to the sinker or let it go slack and let the fish run a little ? I may try the knocker rig on Black Fish up here. ( New Jersey ) They are similar to Sheepshead. Thanks, Mickey

[@RadReelingFishing]

I do a little of both Mickey. Thanks for commenting. I'd say a very delicate tight line with interleaves of allowing slack for the sinker to move with the current.

[@1539Mickey]

Thanks for the reply and the technical info in the description. I can always learn something from fishing videos if the fisherman describes what they are doing or adds a description. Thanks for the info. Mickey

He bleeped out the name of the beach for sandfleas too. I'm not even in Florida and I thought that was kinda silly. Sandfleas are on every beach.

Its silly because he'll ask what guys are using and how they are rigging there stuff but he wont reveal locations lol.

[@rrgH20polo]

Good Job Man. ?...how are you hooking the shrimp. In the head? Do they have to be alive. And how far are the casting it out from the rocks? Thanks

[@RadReelingFishing]

Hey thanks for asking. I hook the shrimp from undernieth in the head area just in front of the black spot and up through the top of the head. Yes, I was casting out from the rocks. I experimented at different distances, about twenty feet out from the rocks is where I was casting.

[@southrootedoutsideoutdoors2052]

Good video new to your channel

[@papertiger988]

Messing around with a fabric tape measure .... well, it requires too many hands and takes too much time. Let me suggest that you take a paint marker and mark 10" and 12" and 21" increments onto your fishing rod .... Then all you have to do is pass the fish by the marks on your rod to determine their legality. 10" for Mangrove Snappers; 12" for Sheepshead ... etc. I think it might make your life a bit easier and keep you from having to bring one more tool fishing.

[@kylel3918]

How do you like your penn pursuit

[@RadReelingFishing]

They are excellent for the money. I had a couple of minor issues and made a video here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/r3emaoypnNWgm68 The new Pursuit 3s have a different drag system.

[@hoosierangler210]

When measuring the fish, I don’t think you’re supposed to follow the contour of the fish. That can give you an accurate measurement. Great video though.

[@getch222]

hook em and cook em!

[@andy6043]

If you have to measure it, it's too small ! A big sheep head is 18-20" +

[@RadReelingFishing]

I love this comment, ha ha...yeah, that area get's fished really hard when the sheepshead are running. Not too many big boys dodge the coolers therefore measuring is necessary if you want to take a few home.
