Catching Pompano, Sheepshead, Snook And Spanish Mackerel Fishing Florida

Catching Pompano, Sheepshead and Spanish Mackerel in SW Florida. Fishing along jetty rocks in a major inlet during this time of year can produce great results. I caught most of the fish on live shrimp. The Pompano was caught on a banna jig and teaser rig.
The man who caught the Snook was using dead bait, I'm not sure what kind though.

I hope I can do that when I am 73. Rock Star indeed, at least in the fishing community.

[@rp726]

Dude that water and view is beautiful

[@daleaturner6797]

The water is so clear there ,wish it was that clear in Tampa. Nice job JC .

[@jonathankubler6053]

I was there on Tuesday and my 7 year old was wearing out the sheepshead. I hooked into a sheepshead and pompano. My son was hoping to meet you there, but I guess we missed you by a day or 2. Keep up the great work and tight lines.

[@jtoker9758]

what time of year?

[@michaelellis7952]

I love your channel! It's guys like you that I enjoy watching fish. You aren't always pushing so new and more expensive rod or reel or bait. Those guys are really annoying to us who know you just need a rod and a reel and a place to fish!!

[@Bluefin_Bart]

Great video!! You were killing it with the shepherd

[@RadReelingFishing]

Too much red tide in SW Florida now. Dead fish all over the place. Go to the east coast.

[@freepalestina48]

any day rad reeling posts is a good day

[@bobahq]

i was up there last sunday morning and there was a ton of people fishing, prob. best to go during the weekday, love your video's

[@RadReelingFishing]

Yeah, we are in the height of season and some spring breaks have already begun.

[@michaelhornung7266]

Very good stuff out there on the jetty. Sure beats being at work. Keep up the good work and keep those vids coming

[@stevehogan8829]

Hey JC. Tearin em up at the Jetty. If you ask me he's a mountain goat hopping over those rocks at 73. I look younger but he's more sure footed. lol

[@llshamelessll]

I want to go fishing with JC. He buys 2 dozen shrimp... Im gonna bring my cooker and eat his bait.... yum!

Haha! Nice! Ya met another Bruno! 🤙🏽

[@seabasssouthflorida]

Great job! Water looks amazing!

[@JeffreyDRein]

That was like a #4 Aberdeen Hook the kind used for catching ballyhoo! I wonder what he was using for bait! & The hook was bent out, he obviously really knew what he was doing! I bet he knew every rock on that jetty... That was the ideal spot to land that fish on that jetty! Hoo ha airborne!

[@MetalRush666]

I'm going to the skyway tonight. I hope I do just as well. Nice ones 🤙

[@floydaltonmiller]

Nice trip again.

[@bradalden8347]

I love the jetties.

[@RadReelingFishing]

Yep, at certain time so of the year it's a sure thing you'll catch a bunch of fish and fun. Thanks for watching and commenting.

[@albertbradeis5144]

That's me in the red hat 😂

[@FaithNFishing]

You mean to tell me you have to fish for hours and hours to get a 15 minute video? 😂 Thinking I have to get out there soon, it is going to be on fire!! Tight lines JC!

[@RadReelingFishing]

Yep, it's starting to heat up there on the Sheepshead bite.

[@ajreyes5090]

Good stuff as always!

That wet noodle rod won't set the hook 😂😂 sorry JC!!

What part of Florida do you fish out of. Another fine video from JC.

[@RadReelingFishing]

I don't reveal locations.

[@keithsanders6881]

I understand that, just wondering if your tactics will work where I fish. Thanks for all your videos. You fish alot like me , without spending a fortune.

[@DanTheFishMan]

I know you don't fish with subscribers.. but I promise I will put you on your best sheep bite ever in the yak. Think about it!

[@2003zq8]

Hey J.C, you ever hit up the other jetty across the inlet? Ive caught some nice snook on that side during the summer.

[@RadReelingFishing]

No I haven't fished there. It's a longer drive for me.

[@frankiev-tech4630]

Hell yeah JC! Nice day in this glorious Florida weather! Still doing great with that cheap reel combo 😆! But I'm beginning to notice that reel sounding geary and clicky...im sure the rod might hang longer but that reel...hmmmm. So far so good though...will be ashame you lose a great fish and it fails.

[@smooveb191]

man that rod and reel has caught its $25 worth of fish

[@frankiev-tech4630]

@@smooveb191 yeah for real...AND some if you count his other videos using it 🤑🤑🤑

@@RadReelingFishing 😂 interesting that rod must be made of wood then!

[@RadReelingFishing]

@@frankiev-tech4630 Ha ha...it creaks at the plastic area of the handle sometimes. The reel is still running smooth. I'm going to do some topwater Snook fishing with it soon and put it through more testing.

Use a stiffer rod buddy you aren't burying the hook

[@llshamelessll]

Dont you disparage that fine 10 dollar walmart rod! lmao...with the Ozark 15 dollar reel.

[@mustluvkatina]

@@llshamelessll rod is fine for trout but sheepshead isn't stiff enough to bury the hook

[@llshamelessll]

@@mustluvkatina Yeah, we know that. That rod is too weak for most jobs...but it was 10 bucks...its a joke. Wait for when he gets a big red on it, should be funny, Im looking forward to when he gets a king mackerel and the reel explodes, should be hilarious.

[@llshamelessll]

Hey JC, is that yellow teaser the most productive for the pompano? How well does the pink work compared to the yellow?

[@RadReelingFishing]

I like them both. Last year I was getting them on the yellow teaser a lot at a different location.

[@fishing_amy]

Big snook

[@silkmothspinnery]

Are there Lookdowns or Moonfish there?

[@RadReelingFishing]

no

I guess you packed your trick hooks...

[@jtoker9758]

What Month was this, do you remembers? You catching those sheeps on live shrimps? And one last one, do you think the south or north side (side you on) the better side to fish?

[@RadReelingFishing]

Forget it...Red tide had destroyed the fishing there. Dead fish all over the place right now.

[@jtoker9758]

@@RadReelingFishing Damn that is terrible.

@@jtoker9758 It's always during the month of March when the Sheepshead are abundant in all of the major inlets in SW Florida. They are there to spawn. They start showing up in pretty good numbers in February.

Hey JC. When your fishing your sheepshead rig are you slowly dragging it or letting it sit?

let it set.

@@RadReelingFishing thanks JC. I'll be trying to catch my first saltwater fish next week just a little north of this spot

[@JoseEspinoza-vr4pm]

Did it make length?

[@eddievlife]

Do you think incoming tide there is better than out going?

[@RadReelingFishing]

Yes I do. The water is almost always clearer on the incoming tide, especially if it's rained very much. After a lot of rain the outgoing tide generally look brown. As a rule I like to fish the incoming tide.

[@eddievlife]

Thanks! I'll keep that in mind next time I'm there!

Did you really say black drum taste better then snook?? You’re nuts

You can't harvest Snook in our area so Black Drum would have been better to catch to keep and eat.
