This Is Too Easy, Best Time Of Year To Catch Sheepshead, Jetty Rocks Fishing With Live Shrimp

The best time to fish a SW Florida inlet is now. The water temperatures are heating up and multiple species of fish are beginning to move into, out of and through major passes along the gulf coast. In this video I'm catching Sheepshead, but there are Spanish Mackerel, Redfish, Snook, Ladyfish, Bluefish, Grouper, Mangrove Snapper and many other species of fish in the inlets right now. All of the Sheepshead I caught on live shrimp, but there were other people using Sand fleas and catching them too.

I'm about to fish tomorrow at John's Pass St Pete , and you are always helpful and entertaining

[@motofarmmx2430]

Now that's some entertainment I wouldn't want to miss lol. The guy snagged to the other guy that is.

[@jettercool]

Caught my very first Sheepshead yesterday on a Cranka Crab. It came as a 19 3/4" Beast. Thank you for all the tips on inshore fishing JC

[@RadReelingFishing]

That's so awesome. Now that you mention it, all of the Sheepshead I caught on the Cranka Crab were big. Hum, maybe I need to get mine out. Thanks for sharing.

[@timpeacoe]

Love the sheepshead action Great video JC thanks for the adventure thanks for bringing us along

[@michaelhornung7266]

Weather looks great there. Sure beats up North. Keep those vids coming. Love them - especially when it’s cold outside-

[@stevehogan8829]

JC, you're having more fun with that cheap rod and reel than most people have with the most expensive equipment. I'm done buying expensive walt water rods and reels... Too many have hit the sand and the bottom of the ocean. I'd rather just buy inexpensive and not worry so much. Those are some tough fish. Caught a keeper size Thursday that had 1/2 or the upper mouth. He was still nice and fat and had no problem eating my shrimp. Their bite can be extremely light. I have to watch that I don't let them swallow the hook.

[@joroboyvn]

My favorite fishing spot, especially when the water warms up. Even if you don't catch anything, you can jump for a swim on the beach side. Stay healthy my friend !!!

[@Takour1]

What city is that in?

[@triciawhidden2633]

Another great video! I caught two Pompano today and several other fish today! It was a beautiful day on the water but a little windy.

[@quang4055]

I hope I'm able to fish at 85 🙏 that was awesome to see

[@RadReelingFishing]

Right on, very inspirational. In the next video there's a guy who is 75 walking about thirty yards over the rocks while he's fighting a big Snook. Pretty sketchy behavior from an older dude, but he did it without hurting himself. Thanks for watching.

[@JimMFishing]

You have a gift with editing. Good move giving that sheeps away that you knew would not make it. No need to see a good fish go to waste.

[@RadReelingFishing]

Thanks for watching and for sharing encouraging words Jim.

Hey JC, thanks for another great vid. Glad to see you back at jetty. Distant memory of sun on my shoulders and wish that I was there with you. 40F and rain here in Boston.

Nice one JC - thanks for the upload! 👍👍

[@jackfunk5765]

Nice. Gonna try the sand key area next weekend.

[@floydaltonmiller]

I always enjoy your videos and even better when you are catching and not just fishing.

[@FaithNFishing]

Always a fun spot to fish and looking forward to the fishing there over the next few weeks! The locals are great!

Got the cheapo rod and real out. I love it👍🐟

Man I live in pensacola Florida and I wish to god the water looked like that. Me and my buddies are all about sheeps an pomps we look forward to this time of year

[@904reelman5]

Water looks crazy, nice fishin 👍

[@FloridaBoyGrizz]

I just got back from fishing . I was fishing off a bridge caught 4 sheepshead no keepers tho. I caught them on shrimp, sand fleas, and then I went looking for fiddler crabs found a few and caught some on those as well. All the keepers came off cus I had to flip the onto the bridge. But ya it was a good day 🤘🏽

Oh my gosh, I can't tell you how funny that was. I was busting up laughing. It went on for about five minutes before the guy figured out what was happening.

[@chrisspearing3972]

Ill give you another trick instead of going him thru the head .BC i pinch the trail off to .i take the hook and go thru the back end .works great for me

Can you tell me where this is please?

I would like to go fishing here

[@snookhookrswfl5610]

You got to the pomp party too late this morning. There were several caught there, three over 20".

[@RadReelingFishing]

Well I hope someone saves one or two of those giants for me. I think you meant to say I was too early because I was there earlier this week. Thanks for watching.

[@jasonstewart1022]

Hey J.C Always look forward to your vids. Headed there in 3 weeks and 6 days! Can't wait! Is the sheepshead bite usually still good the end of March?

[@RadReelingFishing]

Yes it is. Pompano bite is too.

[@chuckerroo5977]

Thats a good one!

[@daltonfishing8872]

Hey im a new fan watch lots of your videos I live in oklahoma and coming to that area you fish for vacation.. I was wondering what size line you use for those fish also the line you use for for snook and the size line you use for Pinfish... Thanks

[@RadReelingFishing]

Pinfish 6 to 15 lb mono. Snook, watch this video, kzbin.info/www/bejne/b6aYd4B8l8yaiLM Snook fishing line depends on where you are fishing and how big they are.

[@LarryCramerVideos]

Greetings JC, enjoying your videos, glad I found your channel. I'm relatively new to the area, live in Largo, and am trying to discover good, productive, from-shore locations to fish. So many of the FB groups simply mock and abuse you for asking where good spots are, hopefully, it's different here. You mentioned the "Jetties" - Where exactly is this video taken, I'd love to give this spot a try.

[@RadReelingFishing]

Thanks for watching. I don't reveal locations on this channel 99% of the time out of respect for the local community of anglers.

[@LarryCramerVideos]

@@RadReelingFishing Thanks for the reply, but that's the problem I was talking about. What about local folks that are here now and need to learn some good spots but don't have the time to spend days and days of trial and error trying to find them. The result is a lot of discouragement and disappointment and dry lines sitting in the garage. Maybe you should add a hot spot tips line for your members or patrons - it would be a good way to build your channel and not let the cat too much out of the bag. What do you think?

[@RadReelingFishing]

@@LarryCramerVideos Thanks for sharing your views. I teach people how to catch fish and why those fish are in certain areas. I've already shared with my viewers on several occasions recently that it's spawning time for Sheepshead and they can be found in the major inlets right now. Basically, any city in SW Fl that has a major inlet is going to be holding plenty of Sheepshead. I have no interest at all in sharing a fishing location or city I'm in with 30,000 subscribers which will soon be 100,000 and eventually grow to a million. I don't have any interest in selling hot spots. You might enjoy watching this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gXfXeKxuoqh-qKM Thanks for commenting.

[@crazydogshock7408]

J.C. good video as always. What species do you consider the best tasting? Also why did you mount the "puck" on the back of your kayak? Would it work better closer to the trolling motor? I was thinking of mounting mine next to the seat and closer to the battery. Thanks.

[@RadReelingFishing]

Thanks for watching. I don't have the puck on my kayak.

[@crazydogshock7408]

@@RadReelingFishing What about the other questions? I would like your opinion, if you don't mind. Thanks

[@RadReelingFishing]

@@crazydogshock7408 That's a tough one to answer. I've always said that Snook was my favorite, but then I had Vermilion Snapper and Black Drum and now I'm not sure which one is my favorite.

When the water temperature gets around 70 degrees

JC how deep is that jetty water?? Looks pretty deep. 6-10 maybe?? And can you maybe show us how you hook a sand flea?? Good stuff buddy.

[@snookhookrswfl5610]

I live here. It's 10'-12', depending on the tide.

[@ADVENTURESOFBZ]

And thank you for the info brotha. Appreciate it

[@RadReelingFishing]

Thanks for watching. I don't know for sure, but I'm guessing in the middle it's about twenty feet deep. It takes a long time for a 1 oz jig to hit the bottom in the middle of the pass. Thanks for commenting.

[@Teango]

Hey JC, do you think February is a good month for Sheepshead fishing in Titusville by the Indian River?

[@RadReelingFishing]

Winter months are usually the best for Sheepshead.

[@Teango]

@@RadReelingFishing so like right now is a good time? Because I was thinking about going to Titusville this Saturday brother.

[@eddievlife]

Any idea why they prefer the shrimp with tails broken off vs on? Can they see that it may not be able to escape without a tail? Seems odd.

[@RadReelingFishing]

Thanks for watching. I'm guessing it just adds additional scent. Also, I put the shrimp tails back in the bucket so when I run out of live shrimp I have all the tails.

they are but right now it’s spawning time do it’s good to throw them back to keep the populationgoing

Currently to date, 12" and you can keep 8, but I have a freezer loaded with fish already.
