Sheepshead Fishing with NEW LURE ** BIG FISH HERE **

[@flawdacountryboy]

The cranka crab is probably my favorite crab lure and have been using them for years but they’ve doubled in price since I started using them. As an economist, I feel there is room in the market for a company like Southern Salt Bait Co to create a competitive lure lol.

[@miamiwax5504]

Temu

[@southernsalt]

🤔 you might be on to something lol

[@Mikesalas1989]

@southernsalt I’d definitely buy urs!!

[@johnr9339]

I'd definitely be interested in buying from Southern Salt.

[@CRANKALureMoreFish]

Fantastic watch and truly appreciate the use and feedback on our CRANKA crabs... Look forward to making them more accessable and better priced to US anglers in the future... Love the content!

[@southernsalt]

Thank you and you definitely have one heck of a lure here for sheepshead!!

[@StanSmithSmittyfish]

I would get a few as back up when the crabs are hard to find for sure. Ordering mine now.

[@southernsalt]

🙌 🙌

[@michaelsmith4507]

Wow you have made my mouth water for some fresh sheepshead one of my favorite fish and they are a tough customer on light tackle. Keep em coming

[@southernsalt]

🙌 mission accomplished lol

[@Clockeman]

Is that Lake Ponchartrain? Used to fish for sheepshead under the bridge by Slidell...one wrapped the the line around a piling and just stayed there until I released the bail ...then I watched it unwind itself...and it was game on again. Smart fish.

[@stevesuperior4760]

Got a kick out of you throwing the lemons in the yard. 👍🏼

[@southernsalt]

😂 🙌

[@gregrice-c4u]

Imported from Australia .. there’s the cost !! still an expensive lure here in Aust ..

[@troypeterson6515]

At $20 a pop, I’d have to say no, but it does make me think that some of the other crab imitation lures out there may be worth trying out. On those days when I can’t catch or buy crabs, those crab lures may just help load the box. Great video, love your content.

[@southernsalt]

🙌 thanks brother!!

[@cspitchley8009]

Gotta get one and try it. What a great haul of sheepshead. Top 3 fish on my list. Love the catch and cook vids.

[@southernsalt]

🙌 thanks brother!!

[@growinghealthyinflorida1060]

You should use procure crab send to attract sheep head better When you use artificial crabs or shrimp.

[@southernsalt]

Yeah, I really was wanting to see how the lure worked without anything added to it.

[@peggyallen5465]

Well, you made a believer out of me. Absolutely, I would buy them!! Probably would have 5 with me at all times. Fiddlers are often hard to come by and with these, why worry about the live bait!

[@southernsalt]

🙌 🙌

[@alaskangirl7675]

When I caught sight of that 4th fish-it was a monster from the deep! Great lure and a cute one too! Thanks for all the great videos.

[@southernsalt]

🙌 🙌

[@mikemoore1687]

Yes sir absolutely I would and will be using the cranka crab. Along with your great point of the claw movement I think it's going to help quite a bit them not being able to Crunch It Off

[@southernsalt]

[@lasserbream]

Cranka crab design and invented in Australia... 😁😁😁👍👍👍

Thanks man!! I’m learning lots with your content!!

[@southernsalt]

Thanks brother glad it’s helpful!!

[@tinacreekmore6959]

Just came across your video. I fish alot. Camping, boating. I use lures and other bait on a hook. When you go to a tackle shop and ask for a bottom sweeper hook they have no idea what you're talking about. It is designed for catching sheepshead, bullred, I didn't know that now I can actually get a fake lure so real. Thank you. ❤

[@southernsalt]

[@ronmixson7637]

Another great video. I didn't get to fish any summer because of a injury, but you shore make me want to go get me some fresh fish. That dish shore makes me want some sheepshead!!!! Love your videos. Thanks for taking us along.

Very nice cook at the end. And of course awesome sheepshead fishing

[@southernsalt]

[@2reelyakrz481]

I've found Crank-a-crabs work extremely well on both pilings and along grass lines with steep mud banks below them. The lures are expensive, but are the best crab lures I've ever used

[@southernsalt]

Nice! I agree with you there.

[@kenp247]

$20 is pricey, but they obviously work. I'd definitely be using a heavier leader. I appreciate the review!!

[@977vet]

You are a good cook.

[@southernsalt]

Thank you!!

[@TheDoggieluver123]

I’d go back to crickets if fiddlers were unavailable. However, I just built a fiddler crab trap and placed it out on a culvert, can’t wait to see how it works.

[@southernsalt]

Awesome man, I need to set up a few traps myself!

[@kylelewis4685]

Here is south Florida I use the savage gear duratech crabs with blue crab pro-cure for sheepshead when I cant get fiddler crabs. Gonna get a couple of those cranka's foe Christmas and check them out.

[@southernsalt]

Let us know what you think!

That’s my home water man hope to meet you out there one day. I’ve caught some bigs off both of those bridges.

It’s very likely brother, if you ever see stop by and say hey!

[@urbanbackyardcontainergardenin]

That lure works really well 😊. Expensive but I guess worth it😊😊

[@bruceleggard5734]

Have you ever used Savage Gear crab lures? I have used them extensively for Blackfish in the Northeast with great success (although with attractant). But the cost benefit is worth it.

[@southernsalt]

Nice! I have used them and have caught a few sheepshead on them as well

[@belliott538]

I do love me some Sheepshead… never tried frying them… I usually broil em in the oven with a garlic lemon butter baste along with some diced tomato on top. Call it poor man’s lobster. And grilled over a pecan & mesquite fire with the same basting sauce with or without tomatoes. As to Butter, Bacon and Beer… Hell, I’m to old to make a purtty Corpse… so no need to start worrying now.

[@southernsalt]

Man that sounds amazing!

[@Dnguyen228]

Hey Nathan have you tried the savage gear crab yet? I know they carry them locally at the field and stream in mobile and it’s $8 for 2.

[@southernsalt]

Yeah I tried it last year. I think I caught 1 on it.

[@lowbudgetrc352]

Great video brother! At the price point I definitely would have to pass on that lure. It does put ‘em in the boat tho! What would you say is your top 5 sheepshead artificial lures? Keep up the great work! Tight lines!!!

[@southernsalt]

Thanks man! Definitely the crab then the 2”Vudu shrimp. From there it gets tough lol.

[@larrylewis1390]

For $20.00, those lures better be catching fish on EVERY cast. Thanks for the video!

😂 thanks brother!!

[@kitchencarvings4621]

I bet it would be fun to take a 8 or 9 wt. fly rod and a full sink line and use a crab or shrimp pattern around those pilings

[@southernsalt]

Now that would be fun for sure!!

[@kitchencarvings4621]

[@southernsalt]

A few of them. I’m going to find some more budget friendly crabs to use.

[@micbarca9777]

I would absolutely use it if I could 3 for $20 which is still expensive. I guess I'll be dragging my butt to the flats chasing crabs I'm the summer and diggin em up in the winter. Great video. Maybe they'll sponsor you. I was surprised by the success, but when I first saw it on your video I thought it was the best concept pfe artificial crab lures I've ever seen. Would be awesome to be able to make your own. Is the body a soft plastic or a hard fiberglass?

[@southernsalt]

It is definitely one of the best made crabs I’ve ever seen, I got some cheaper crabs on the way I’ll be trying soon.

Hey bud, I really enjoy your channel and content. To answer the question. I cannot imagine that the average workingman would never invest $20 per bait. Especially under the circumstances of the bridge column, and how often the line is cut by the barnacles in oysters.

How important is it to clean off the catfish slime from the line? Will that discourage bites if left on?

[@shawnholton8996]

Very important! Fluorocarbon is nearly invisible in water and having the slime on there definitely makes it visible and it could affect the sink rate of your leader material also.

[@southernsalt]

Very important. The slime will make your line detectable by the sheepshead which have incredible eye sight
