Went sheephead fishing yesterday and skunked! Wish I would have saw this video before I went. Great video, will try tips next time!

[@juscruzen]

Nice rod! I love ugly sticks too. Sheephead are awesome and fun to fish! I fish em the same way you do. Sometimes you can see em feeding on barnacles on the top on high tide. That was in Jacksonville Florida.

[@rdo6566]

As always GREAT information! Love the channel!

[@Brandonxchill]

Hey man just came across your video. Been doing my homework on sheeps and you are very in depth! Looking to get on my first ones soon, I’ve been catching most all inshore fish and have yet to get on sheep. Thanks for this video! Tight lines!

[@whitetail2365]

can,t wait to get out fishing my wife and i just bought a winter home in Ormond beach went out to Cassen park one day the fish weren't biting that day i will be back in dec. to try again . thanks for a great video.

[@barrywuthrich8530]

Thanks for the tips. I will have to check the bait camp and see if they carry the sand fleas and crabs. I fish over oyster beds a lot, but I don't know how to open a live oyster to bait it. I'll have to goggle it. But I troll a rattle trap for reds a lot when I'm moving around in my kayak. In the last couple of weeks, I have caught 3 sheepshead trolling the rattle trap. I'm moving about 4 mph, so I feel the hits and sometimes it feels like I miss a few before I finally hook up. When I do, they are hooked very well. I still don't horse them in, because the wire treble hooks on a rattle trap are easy to break. Can't wait to start jigging some crabs over those oyster beds.

Thank you, I'm going to use your methods this weekend

[@adrianprimous820]

Love the information! U explain that good!

[@jerryhartlein]

Really clear instruction....

[@johnwilliams7352]

I use a different rig, similar to a drop shot rig. I like seeing how other folks do though. Never to late to learn. Good vid man.

[@JETTIEROCKSFISHINGwithMIKED]

I may try that.. I have been playing around with a double rig as well...

[@johnwilliams7352]

I use a floro leader with a Palomar knot. I find that it helps me feel the bight. I just leave a long tag and tie the weight to the bottom. I put my mask on and went down, it seemed a better presentation on the jetty and bridge piling. I still tie a Carolina on the reef, I have been using one of each. My results are inconclusive though. I generally go barnacles or fiddlers. I like quartered blue crab if the bight is good. Seems to weed out the small ones. Get a lot of black drum and reds on the blue crab though. Not a bad problem to have.

[@JETTIEROCKSFISHINGwithMIKED]

@@johnwilliams7352 a lot of great information there thank you for sharing it with me.. I agree black drum and reds are a good by catch..good problem indeed. Tight lines brother

[@johnwilliams7352]

[@jimlabolito6098]

I have never fished for sheephead but am about to try due to this very clear and succinct tutorial. Thank you for giving your knowledge with patience. One question...I live in the Tallahassee area and wonder if there is anywhere kind of close to start out. I am not far from Panacea and St. Marks. Thanks again for the time you spent doing a this!

[@JETTIEROCKSFISHINGwithMIKED]

Im not familiar with any of those areas...but if you can find a bridge or a jettie..you should be able to find them

[@papajonn87]

I’m going out to fish the docks on the matanzas river this week end. Thank you

[@huey37]

Best step for step tutorial yet, sheephead is my dream catch can you catch in June July or August?

[@JETTIEROCKSFISHINGwithMIKED]

They can be caught all year long. But the colder months are better

[@Maritza1204]

Awesome!!! I can't wait to try it!!! 😁😁😁👍

Hermit crabs do make good bait. You have to break them outta their shell. They’re really good for redfish. We use the along the big end of the Gulf of Mexico

I have tried the droper rig...it does work well..thank you for watching and commenting brother

[@stagger204]

Hey Mike. I am a new subscriber and I must say I am very impressed with your channel. Great info on the bait, thanks. I just received a 7' Ugly Stik Elite in medium/fast action paired with a Penn Slammer III 3500 as a gift. I know the reel is way more than enough for sheepshead, but what is your impression of the rod? It isn't nearly as stiff as I thought it would be. Do you think it will be suitable for the sheepies?

[@hhh-tw2kp]

great vidoe

[@dmdfishin]

Awesome tips brother and man that sheepy was HUGE. We hook our fiddlers the same way also for black fish up here. Love that up and down technique it makes a lot of sense

[@JETTIEROCKSFISHINGwithMIKED]

4 DA KIDZ Fishing thank you brother..one of these days ive got to get up there and catch a black fish...its on my bucket list

[@dmdfishin]

You're welcome brother to get the huge ones you have to make the ocean wreck trips here but was telling the kids one day we should head down to Virginia as they're big down there no matter where you go lmao but they do give a heck of a fight when you have a nice one and the best eating by far in my books

Try hermit crab i hear ppl catch a lot using them here in galveston i caught a 25" sheepshead on a piece of blue crab while fishing for drum at seawolf park here in galveston funny thing is its the only one i ever caught and everyone i talked to said thats giant for a sheepshead it was fighting like a 30lb black drum and it tasted great. If you ever go to galveston look up seawolf park i work there and thats where i fish good luck.
