Sheepshead fishing is lots of fun, but it is a different style of fishing that requires a different approach than most of our inshore species. Today, I will be showing you how I fish for sheepshead. From the rods and reels, hooks, and weights, to detecting their delicate bite. I hope it's helpful. If you enjoy this video, please remember to subscribe, like, share and comment.

Awesome fish, getting me fired up to hit the rigs whenever this wind chills out. Nice job on the big sheep release as well. She'll make someone elses day for sure.

[@FishBumpTV]

Thanks Capt! Yep, That was a Big Girl, I always try to let those big females go if I can. It is prime time, if the weather will just give us a break. Good Luck out there!

I caught a sheepshead on the grass flats one day. It was a surprise for sure

[@FishBumpTV]

Wow, that's unusual! We catch a lot during the cooler months, but always around structure. Thanks for watching and commenting!

[@FishBumpTV]

Thanks Man! We are proud of him!

[@mk-xh6jt]

Much Respect for letting the big breeders go..over 20 .The big one's have already disappeared in my area because of Meat Pigs

[@FishBumpTV]

Thanks, the same thing is happening here. People can be very greedy, it is a shame for sure! We all need to do our part to help the resource. Thanks for watching!

[@rsrs3128]

You ever try the fg knot? Its a great knot for mono to braid

[@FishBumpTV]

The fg is a good knot for sure! I still like a good uni to uni most of the time though. Just a personal preference thing. I appreciate you watching and commenting!

[@bwizzle4194]

This is my favorite target species. I catch them in the bayous that large at the right time.

[@FishBumpTV]

I couldn't agree more, they fight hard, taste good and they like the colder weather when it can be more difficult to catch other species. Caught a 11 pound sheep last year, that was my PB. Now I'm looking for a 12. Appreciate ya watching, and thanks for the comment!

[@bwizzle4194]

@Fish Bump TV Yes for the Florida panhandle big sheeps and both red and black drum are the hardest fighting inshore fish. Sheeps by far are the best table fair.

[@geraldmicallef6575]

You cannot miss with live crab's.

[@FishBumpTV]

Yes, they do like the crabs! Thanks for watching!

[@michaelsain5084]

Nice video

[@FishBumpTV]

Thanks Mike! I really Appreciate it!

[@Soily55]

I missed the part of the video. How heavy is your split shot?

[@FishBumpTV]

I like a #2 split shot, with a 1/0 owner ssw hook. Thanks for watching!

[@jeremiahmelville1356]

How deep is the water there ?

[@williamcampbell6589]

I wish I the opportunities to do this

[@FishBumpTV]

Those sheepshead are a lot of fun to catch. Appreciate you watching!

[@garlandalmarode6396]

Using J hooks?

[@williamcampbell6589]

Well I tie the same knots on my leader and hook. Maybe I'm doing something right.

[@FishBumpTV]

The right hook and knot are a good place to start. Get yourself some fiddler crabs or live shrimp, and find some good barnacle encrusted structure. The sheepshead will happen!

[@midwestkayakco]

Good stuff guys! Enter me in the giveaway please!

[@FishBumpTV]

Thanks, appreciate you watching!

[@TokyoNightGirlLofi]

💞Wow💛💛💛💗💗💗💛

[@FishBumpTV]

Thanks!

[@fredeb67]

Do you ever think of using a piece of squid to keep the bite going or will they even bite squid. Squid is tough and hard to remove from the hook.

[@FishBumpTV]

That's a good question. I have never tried squid for sheepshead. I hope to make another sheepshead video soon, maybe I will try squid against the shrimp and crab and see how it compares. Thanks for your thoughts, and welcome to the channel!

[@fredeb67]

@@FishBumpTV I would try squid in conjunction with crab or shrimp.

[@FishBumpTV]

I will give that a try, Thanks!
