Fishing with Live Crabs For Sheepshead - Catch and Cook

[@natetheocles5671]

I dont know how the exposure algorithm works on KZbin but you need a few million more followers. Great videos

[@ddselvig]

The problem with so many missed strikes is most likely that the sinker is too close to the hook. You should look into moving that sinker about 12" above the hook which would make the fish less likely to bite the sinker during the strike.

[@TheBowen747]

a sliding sinker set up with a 1.5 ft long leader .. what ya think.. carolina rig lol

[@dylanlarose9171]

Thats immediately what I was thinking after seeing about 6 takes back to back and missed hooksets. It appears that the weight is pulling the hook free of the fish before they have time to get in fully into their mouth. That being said, I know nothing of this fishery so maybe there is a reason that someone can explain why you would want the weight right with the hook. better detection on the strike is needed? I see the line is pretty light weight.

[@wyliestivers2634]

Sheepshead is some killer eating, great video.

[@7thevanfishing]

Good stuff man. Nothing like sheepshead fishing!

[@ADVENTURESOFBZ]

My man B needs 20k subs. He does such a great job. Knowledgeable, no cuss words(i cuss myself but its nice to not hear it sometimes), great fish, and just overall great quality content!! Good job my man👊

[@hezeizak743]

Awesome stuff bro. Love the fishing and the eats. Peace to you from Java, Indonesia, Hezekiah & Izak

[@chucksmith5002]

Nice Sheepshead and good presentation on fixing the fish

[@patrickromeo3278]

Love the Classic Bucs shirt! We had season tickets back in the 70's! Buc fan for life here. Nice catch and cook.

[@Steve-Jody]

Stumbled on your tube site. Glad you changed hooks, I’m sure you heard me talking to my TV LOL. Fiddlers on east coast is go to . My YF Bay with tower ain’t chasing mangrove crabs ! Good tip for my Hells Bay when I’m back inshore

[@vidalia6014]

Nice video. The filets with the Caprese salad looks like a great presentation.

[@kendrawillis3322]

Sheepshead are everywhere over here on NC coast! I didn’t think about using fiddler crabs as bait thanks man and happy fishing 🎣

[@josephkrakauskas9340]

What would you use for bait in nc i live in nc as well

[@carvinlambert6899]

@@josephkrakauskas9340 Get cha some of them Dudes, or Sand Fleas . Toss one out along a Bridge piling.. using light sinker split shot...about 16 inches from a good steel bream hook.

[@tgshort7638]

I caught tons of them on the bellaire bluff causeway Crab and sheepshead. I also like going out at low tide and scraping barnacles off the mangrove roots they are freaking awesome sheepshead bait too

[@wabassin11t30]

First time watching your channel! Very glad to see that you’re a Tampa Bay fan. I’m a die hard fan since 76, now living in wa state.

[@Reaverman0420]

Nice fishin, sheepshead is delicious and cant not point out the bucs shirt bruh....respect to the fellow florida man 😊

[@michaeldart5646]

Sand fleas was the best bait I ever used to catch sheepshead under bocha ceaga bridge...down next to the clay house an levrocks P.s. I probably spelled them both wrong,but if your from the area...you know were I'm talking about..st.pete beach area not too far from the swigwham

[@calvinbrodhead6199]

That's a great technique for fishing the Howard Franklin. Nice job dialing that in

[@juliancarvalhofishing9734]

Very good Fishing. Hugs from Brazil. One more subscribed!

흥미롭네 BGM도 맘에들고 전체적으로 릴렉스한 분위기라 영상 보는 재미가 있네~

[@jaywarren226]

That was interesting, I would have never thought that a sinker next to the hook would ever work. Thanks for the tip will try it.

[@SeeYaDude]

It's called a "knocker rig". It's a popular rig for bottom fishing offshore, but it works great for inshore species too

[@bennagem2965]

I do the same thing with live shrimp when fishing for redfish. Works great if the line between the weight and hook isn’t too long.

[@baritony8763]

Well thought-out & crafted video.Not to mention the content itself. Super.

[@tcat5933]

Love the Buco Bruce shirt!

[@FaithNFishing]

Literally was thinking, "time to change the hook". Was having flashbacks to last Saturday fishing for Sheepers. tight lines!

[@RichM0410]

Enjoying your channel 👍

[@seaangling]

In the UK we turn rocks to find our crab baits, amazing to see you pick them off of a bridge.

[@Funnykid121220]

I love this subscriber for life now keep up the good work. 💯🙏🏾

[@YB-PC-BYourself]

Great videos. Learning a lot about saltwater fishing. No expensive tackle or rods, also shore fishing, but I think my results are going to improve dramatically.

[@fl.a1exx]

Huge fan, been subbed for a long time and me and my dad are big sheepshead fisherman (more him than me) i would suggest just a mustad short shank j hook and under 4 ft and if its deep just use a split shot or egg weight. Also, that saltwater pond u fished (u know where it is) a while back has some huggeee tarpon. Going this weekend to try to hook up on one and on the dock by the ramp my dad has caught 3 or 4 almost 18 inch sheepshead so i would suggest that to. Ima stop blabbing now have a blessed day man and stay safe

[@LuLu-kk5gs]

I have some Everglades season that all u need but I cook my with mustard and corn meal

[@stephenshamp2482]

Awesome shirt Brent Nice sheepshead !!

I figured it was an appropriate time to wear it

[@eliocamacho6680]

Good way to represent the home team go bucs. Thank you for yet another great video keep up the good work I’m gonna try to go for some sheepshead also

[@mirandamaher9465]

We made sheepshead a new way the other day, new fave. Butter seared with a little old bay, sauzon tropical and cavenders greek seasoning . It was spicy with a hint of citrus , so good.

[@FlatsFisher73]

New to the channel like the content. Love the ole school bucs shirt!

The channel between Mira vista and where you were is the deepest part in the Saint Joseph sound

[@xgtmg]

I lived in Temple Terrace back when we said "Throw Ray in the Bay". Maybe before your time as a Bucks fan. Sheepshead have been hitting hard here in the Carolinas. I agree with the Monkey Dust as the seasoning. Great video.

[@randallmiser2976]

Good job! One tip, olive oil oxidizes after 150° Healthier to cook in clean lard! I know what we've been taught but lard is best.

[@smat2788]

That'll be cool if you do a show fishing in the Everglades 👍

[@joshhigdon4951]

You got to set the hook with bait hooks! Lol. I grew up fishing for largemouth and hook sets make or break it. When I use circle hooks now, it takes me forever to stop setting. Great channel and content. Subbed for sure!

[@marklee6538]

im addicted to those peanut butter pretzels, keep up the good work.

[@robertwang5591]

Hi Brent ,use circle hook do not pull (jerk),when the fish biting you just reeling in, the fish will hook up it self, you will catch more fish. good luck.

[@person390]

I cought a nice bluecrab after I cought it I used the side of it cut that in two hooked through a joint and trimmed some of the leg back. 25 inches and he slammed it to out of a brackish water pond. Redfish

[@josesantiago3350]

For Sheepshead Use A Circle Hook And Never Put That Weight Next To The Hook Also You Need To Let The Line Tide And Use One Hand To Hold The Rod And With The Other Hand Holding The Line That Way You Can Feel The They Eat Your Bait And You Gonna Catch A Lot Of Sheepshead

[@bkblackmon1402]

Great Job!

[@pesca503usa]

Hi I'm a new subscriber nice video👍here in Cali I cough 2 sheephead by the yetty. Take care.

[@peterbrogi4245]

Try running the hook through a leg right at the body it will stay on a lot better. Fished for tautog in my young life in Massachusetts that way. That should help you out with losing so many crabs

[@fooballyou]

Brady + Gronk to Bucs= Brent wearing throw back, nice touch! Google up "Bottom Sweeper Jig" for sheepys. Keeps the crab standing up off the bottom in prime picking position for the convicts. Some of the other fishing youtubers swear by them. Thanks for the video....

[@fl.a1exx]

Me and my dad (mostly dad) are big sheepshead fishing, we tried them and they didnt work well and we tested them hard

[@codyk7552]

I've had the opposite experience. I switched from size 2 hooks and a split shot for sheepshead to the quarter ounce bottom sweeper jigs and never went back. I feel like my hookup rate improved and I like how stout the hooks are. I've broken a few live bait hooks on good sized sheepshead.

[@love2fish78]

Proudly hit that like button for the 400th baby!! That salad looked delish!!! We all love that sheepshead with a “dash” of #EvergladesSeasoning What was the name of that salad again? Is it a simple recipe? Awesome video!! Keep’m coming!! 🇺🇸🇺🇸 #FloridaCheck #TastyTuesday

[@SeeYaDude]

It's called a caprese salad. It's quite possibly the easiest recipe out there, which is why I love it

[@richardkeith6822]

Really like watching your videos!! Just wondering, have you ever jig fished for Squid?👍

[@SeeYaDude]

I have not. I've only accidentally caught squid a couple times in my life

[@typicalsoup]

Nice video! I love the kayak your using, but I noticed that there's a fish storage which I have never seen before. Do you know the type of kayak you were using?

[@SeeYaDude]

It's a Malibu Stealth-9 Kayak. Here's a link to it if you wanna check it out: amzn.to/2tYlR0p

[@drewphy2391]

New to fishing, i don't understand how the fish made such small fillets. It looks much better size than two bitty lil pieces like that, did you swap out the fish on us?

[@SeeYaDude]

Sheepshead have large rib cages so you don't get as much meat off of them as you'd expect, plus this one was just within the legal size limit

[@wardengrn]

Love sheepshead fishing and awesome to eat. Fish straight up and down near oysters, posts and rocks. Best is very light on weight as can get away with current. Split shot just 12 inches from hook is great but not always possible. With bait in water on bottom, slowly bounce it up and down in area you want to fish to make sure no snags and then fish bait by going up and down 12-14 inches. When the bait stops moving as pulling up snatch it quick, and you wont miss many of them at all. It is good to chum a spot with crushed mussels, barnacles or crabs. They will show up to your snag free spot and give you a good fight with 10pds. They eat barnacles, mussels, shrimp and favorite is crabs like fiddlers.

[@sparkyhillard9098]

I recently moved to an area on the Chesapeake Bay. That's a sheep's head. I'm still kind of new to some of the saltwater stuff. I know they are around this area. How deep of water should I be fishing? And it's a good to find them in the backwaters and shallows like where you find red fish and speckled trout

[@TheFishfinderman]

I caught a lot of these before but I never bother bringing them home. Nice video anyway.

[@v33zy79]

There are a group of monster sheep that hang around the docks by my work, but they never hit at the crabs. Only pesky baby snappers pick them off the hooks so quickly. Krieger on Archer is your cartoon doppelgänger btw 🤘🏻

[@person390]

Get a crokersack like oysters come in or shelles corn comes in . Put a brik in it and a container of chicken liver drop it in the water away from were you are fishing . That should hold the little pesky fish .Bait of choice for sheepshead will be crayfish you can get at the seafood shop ,live shrimp no see line chop up a crab they work good run the hook through the joint about the size of your thumbnail but a fat piece . Dont use sercle hooks use a truturn hook dependable brand . Stealth is key . They like staying around pileings in the shadows watching the sunny side . They will move up and down on the pileing so dont fish to deep 3 to 6 feet then go deep . Good luck

[@Bakkasura]

Size 4 circle hooks, you can find some thick little circle hooks and you won't miss as many sheepshead in my experience.

[@hondorockz]

[@joshuacarter9868]

[@SeeYaDude]

No, these are called Mangrove Crabs

The drag tension should be higher l'd reckon to catch more fish.

[@doubletreblefishing507]

Do smaller blue crabs work at all in your opinion?

[@SeeYaDude]

I've never tried them, but I'm sure they'd work. I know people have had success using chunks of blue crab as bait

[@scottmichael3745]

Hell yes blue crab chunks work for sheephead. But you'll get less bites because of the size of the bait but the fish tend to be larger.

[@austingaddy6540]
