Thread: Sheepshead rigs and tips

Careful iron man-you'll have some Florida sportsman or sanctimonious cuss coming down on you for talk like that! Truth is when it comes to the force feed it's the rookies with their lack of rod control and cloudy vision that ruin it for the rest of us! I always find my own pilon away from others and wait for the right moment-same way I've been doing it since 1975!

If it wasn't allowed I wouldn't due it......but rookie I am when it comes to that(you discribe me perfect,!!!lack of rod control and cloudy vision)....so I will leave and find my own honey hole to practice....never have tried for the sheep head or ate one....deffently on my bucket list to catch and eat

A lot like hunting from a tree stand.
You got to load up and wait for yer shot.
Real effective for mullet as well.
I have also seen it used for googan relief!!!

4/13-17 we will scratch that one off the bucket list-pending water clarity.

Bacon will catch flounder when they are not really biting. I know of a wreck in 15 feet of water in the big bend area. Might have to see if the sheepies are on it and it's twin this weekend. I've never caught one or even fished for one.

Thanks for the tip, Geno, I hope it works. Have any of you other guys tried it?
