[@jwnagy]

Im heading to tampa in mid December. Any suggestions for good areas to fish for sheepshead without being hassled?

[@jimsmith4643]

What lures would work?

[@jthompson1080]

That was awesome

[@Saltyscales]

Thanks James!

[@zackwilliams5990]

Doesn’t get better than backyard fishing and bringing sum meet onto the dock

[@Saltyscales]

It is great, we could have caught a bunch more they are plentiful.

[@41bigdeer]

Awesome video Josh. Nice 🐟...

[@Saltyscales]

Glad you enjoyed it Danny

[@tylerpepe8226]

Can you still catch sheepshead from shore in March? I'll be fishing in St Petersburgh

[@Saltyscales]

They be there but not like the are in Jan/feb

[@odoylerulez1427]

I know that exact fishing spot 🙈, great video and fish josh and chris!

[@Saltyscales]

Secret spot shhhh

[@yaboye5955]

Do they have a dock for the public there?

[@The_PNW_Mountaineer]

Does shrimp work? Love the content man!

[@Saltyscales]

Shrimp is effective, yes indeed.

[@The_PNW_Mountaineer]

@@Saltyscales thanks man! I’ll be down there in November

How to catch sheepshead? Step #1 : Buy a waterfront house! 😎🤑

[@Saltyscales]

Doesn't hurt, however sheepshead can be caught at most bridges and piers this time of year.

[@simedogz]

where did you find those crabs? did you buy them somewhere?

[@Saltyscales]

We catch them on docks, bridges and mangroves.

[@stephanietaylor7928]

I am so excited to see what 2022 has in store for you. You are an inspiration to so many, thank you for bringing your passion into all of our lives! ;)

[@Saltyscales]

I appreciate that Stephanie, I am looking forward to bringing some great content to you all in 2022.

[@connorcaruso6306]

Where and how did you get the crabs

[@Saltyscales]

Most bait stores around me have them. Ruskin bait and tackle has them but you can also catch them.

[@davescheer5038]

“ Josh breaks out the man chizzle” ! Ya the water clarity is great , but the fishy’s can see ya to , which makes em a bit harder to catch, were are you getting crabs at , a lot of bait shops can’t get em, ya I know but I’m old , disabled , fat and lazy ! I’m work’n on it at least the last part , New Years resolution, 🙄. Well Batman didn’t see Robin hauling any sheepies on the dock but at least he caught a small red , well what’s next for 2022 ? 🤔

[@Saltyscales]

Have to break out the big guns lol. Robin struggles sometimes, he will get it eventually.

[@cdcoomer]

I live on this canal and all I ever catch are catfish! Lol

[@born2fishtvkahasangmo696]

Wow very strong fish happy new year buddy.🎄⛄

[@Saltyscales]

Thanks and Happy New Year

[@christiewaters4263]

What is the rod and reel combo you use for sheepshead?

[@Saltyscales]

Love the Okuma DTR and Cedros reel or even the ITX by Okuma.

[@pushjacksonthefishassassin8180]

Great content as always. I have the same exact rod, great inshore combo

[@SavagereaperGaming]

I wanna catch them so bad I’m in Florida and I have never caught a single sheepshead my 4 year here so far someone put me in they backyard 😅😢

[@javman6168]

Where can you find fiddler crabs during the winter?

[@Saltyscales]

Down by Cockroach you can catch them or you can purchase them from the bait store.

[@ToddA34]

What bait store can you get them at?

[@Wes_side_fishing]

Great video guys keep it up and Happy new year may God bless your families and adventures

[@Saltyscales]

Thanks Wes and Happy New Year buddy

[@garydirks8223]

Very under rated fish. Fun to catch and good to eat also. Did you filet and fry or cook them on the half shell?

[@Saltyscales]

I fillet them up and gave them to my mother in law.

[@jimdrechsel3611]

Thank you for the video Josh. There’s a lot of docks out there. Can you help narrow it down? What setting are you looking for to try a location? How long can we expect the sheepshead bite inshore?

[@Saltyscales]

Hey Jim, Sheepshead are everywhere right now. Find some quality docks with deeper water near and you will have sheepies.

[@jimdrechsel3611]

@@Saltyscales thank you Josh. Keep them coming! Next time please show a close up how to hook shrimp. I have used them for sheepshead but they are very fussy if they see the hooks. I’d be interested in seeing how you hook them and what hooks you use. Thank you

[@Saltyscales]

@@jimdrechsel3611 hey Jim, I show you how to hook fiddlers and the hooks used in the video.

[@larrylee9178]

Josh, you are in the Tampa Bay area, right, it's great seeing you catching a mess of convict, merry Christmas and happy new year, I'm late but anyway, peace ✌

[@Saltyscales]

Yes sir, Happy New Year!

[@CaptChrisCanning]

Slay day off the dock! Can’t ask for much more… fishing and bringing home the groceries. Personally I think 2022 I might need some more sheepshead practice 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@Saltyscales]

Good times for sure, lets get out there and catch some more.
