Sheepshead Fishing with NEW LURE ** MASSIVE SHEEPSHEAD HERE **
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 9 мар 2023
- I used this new lure to try to catch sheepshead, will it work? In this video I head out sheepshead fishing on the upper Gulf Coast. I first used Fiddler crabs to locate sheepshead around bridges. While inshore fishing around these bridges with Fiddler Crabs for sheepshead, we found SEVERAL solid inshore fish and tons of sheepshead!!

Lost my dad, this July 6 will make 2 years since he's been gone, one of the last good fishing trips we took we caught the limit on sheepshead between us both, your video made me revisit a great day with my dad, thanks!😊
Oh man I’m so sorry to hear that
@@southernsalt thanks man,
You'll have those memories forever. I cherish mine.
Great fishing 🐟 day ,
You can get by with 12 lb line, but put a 3 or 4 foot piece of clear plastic air tubing above swivel to protect line from barnacles. Line can slide through tubing when it gets against a piling.
That’s actually a really good idea that I’ve never heard of before. Thanks!!
Seems like you would totally defeat the purpose of the small line. If your goin to put tubing over your line you may as well use a 120 lb mono leader
The leader would still be exposed. He’s talking about using tubing around the knot which’s where most of my line drag occurs.
@@J.o.e_K ok
@@J.o.e_K 3-4 feet of protection is not the same as a whole spool of 120 test.
im from Galveston TX and have to say sheepshead is an underrated fish for eating and targeting. Keep up the great content!
Thanks brother!
That is a really cool bait bucket for those fiddlers. I’m glade you said it because I love eating puppy drums and most people say they’re trash.
No doubt, they’re delicious!!
I'm from Mass. But I have family in FL and I love watching videos like this so I can fish when I visit them. My family has always been big on fishing. They know alot about ocean fishing. But it's always cool to learn something new
That’s awesome man, I bet y’all have some awesome fishing up in Mass!
man I have seen some of the very cool striper fishing videos from tubers out in Mass or the east and northeast. So envious of that I do not have massive stripers in my part of Texas! Bet yall have a blast catching those!
I love using light tackle in salt water,you can actualy feel the power of the fish great video man
Definitely, some folks won’t understand the fun we get from going a little lighter
My newest rod is a 75cm two-section telescopic rod that fits in my small backpack, it’s solid enough, it feels great and it looks great, especially with the reel I bought for it, colours match nicely 👍
I’m forty now, but since my early twenties my gear has just kept getting smaller and lighter, and the level of fun I’ve had with it gets better and better, lol
For me, not only is it more fun feeling every little movement, but you know that if you hook a big one you’re really going to have to work hard to land it 👌 🎣
I live in south east Texas. Fish around Galveston mostly. I love pier fishing and sheepshead Are one of favorites. We catch a lot of different species off of the piers. Thanks for sharing this information and Video. I’m in my 60’s but like you I really enjoy trying different techniques. Keep putting in the work. We do Enjoy it!
Thanks, I really appreciate it!!
Nice video and I’m from South Carolina. I have went sheep head fishing, one time and it was the best fishing I have ever done in my life..
Nice! It is pretty dang fun for sure!!
Your channel is consistently good! Always learn something and witness your passion for fishing. Awesome, thank you!
Thank you!!
Great content…I really appreciate your trying different lures and baits! That’s a lot of what is so great about fishing.
I’m from mid Wisconsin and I use my ‘ older Hobie’ it’s only 9.5 ft long , but enjoy using it. I visited Florida and walked around some of the bridges and the waters were fishy. I ve never caught a sheepshead. My motor boat is rigged up for Great Lakes salmon. But it’s getting to the point that the Hobie is more fun Thanks a bunch!!! Keep up the good work!!!!
Thank you! Love seeing viewers from up your way, thanks for supporting the channel!!
Hanging out on the OBX, NC impatiently waiting for warmer weather. Thanks for all the great content.
Thanks brother, hopefully warmer weather is right around the corner!!
Smithfield, N C here, enjoy your videos, I love fishing our coastal waters here as well as fresh water…. Tight lines brother 😎
Very nice, thanks for watching the channel!!
We use 30 lb J Braid gold and 20 lb Vanish Flouro with 3/0 live bait hooks.
Good deal!
Seeing happy people such as yourself makes me feel awesome. Great fishing, have a merry Christmas this year.
Thanks brother Merry Christmas to you!!
Your immense respect for these beautiful animals shows and I appreciate that. That's how you can tell a true sportsman from a hack.
I'm born and raised in Orange County, CA. Have done almost all my fishing here, inshore and offshore. Have done quite a bit of bank fishing in Anchorage, AK as well.
Love your scientific approach to the new lure. Will definitely subscribe.
Awesome man I really appreciate it!!
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year, I enjoy the upbeat content you've got a new subscriber!
🙌 Merry Christmas to you too brother thank you!!
Tampa, Florida, plenty of bridges here to fish. Definitely following your advice.
Love that area!!
Are you serious, for me Tampa has sucked! It’s over crowded, people everywhere, no where to fish. When I do get the opportunity, it’s been all catfish and sting rays. I’m actually wanting to leave Tampa simply because the fishing sucks! Am I wrong for that??? 😂😂
I’m from Jacksonville Fl..I want to go sheepshead fishing this weekend but I’m scared to put the crabs on the hook 😂
Oh come on now lol. Use gloves lol
Grab the males buy the big claw so they can't pinch you and twist it off. Then they're clawless and won't get you. Females don't have claws. Good luck!
I saw a video the guy addressed being pinched by using long needle nose plyers and catching them from behind by hand. He also said to leave the big claw attached. I also saw another video where the guy said pull the claw off due to sheephead targeting the claw before hitting the crab and hook, causing you to loose fish and crab.
Ever make it my way to Dirty Myrtle Beach, SC ? Awesome channel, can't wait to get back on the water and give your tactics a try! TY for the content, it's very much appreciated.
Never been there before but it’s on the list!!
Baxley Ga here. My kind of Entertainment right here. Just getting into kayak fishing. Going out on the 17th with guide in Brunswick. Cant wait. Keep it up man👍🏼
Awesome, hope y’all go out and slay them!!
Charleston, SC here. I bought the Cranka Crab, but I haven't really been able to use it. (Took two weeks to get delivered). Maybe when it gets warmer I will take my 10ft pond prowler in the river and use them. I usually stay near the edge until I get under the bridge. Great catches.
Thanks brother! I have caught some good sheepshead on the Cranka Crabs!
What depth of water are u looking for in Charleston
@@RE-rx1ts I have no clue honestly. I've tried the Mount Pleasant Pier so far. That's it.
I've been chasing reds and trout. But sheep are next on my list
@@RE-rx1ts I saw a guy on riverfront park (North Charleston) catching sheepshead under the concrete pier
Great video! 20 pound test is usually my go-to for saltwater in general. But lighter is funner.
Thank you and thanks for sharing your setup!!
FYI 30 lb braid has the line diameter of 8 lb mono, and is way stronger, if you’re braid is visible in the water, use a fluorocarbon leader , approx 4-6 ft long.
Another great video, brother! Can't wait for the flatties to stack up. Channel is growing, my man. Exciting!
🙌 man and you’ve supported me from the beginning, thanks brother!!
Great fishing, fun and informative! You really seem like a great guy, hoping you the best! Lee from Ranger Ga
Thanks Lee I appreciate it brother!!
Just stumbled upon your channel and absolutely love your stuff. I usually use 20-25 lb. fluoro. Such an awesome channel. Keep it up!!
Thanks brother, and thanks for sharing your setup!!
Mm l
@@southernsalt You have an interesting accent. Are you Australian?
Dang, you are killing it! 🔥🔥🔥 We can only keep 8 here in S. Florida.
Honestly they need to drop it here below 10 imo. Thanks!!
@@southernsalt Start taking as many as you can fit into your cooler and even the bed of your truck for that matter. Not long from now, everything in the Sea will die as it is Bible prophecy.
I've never used plastic crab baits but with all the vids I've seen of fisherman doing so well with them I bought some. I chose the Savage Gear Duratech crab because it's a dead ringer for the blue crabs we have here. ❤
Watching from Indianapolis area. Lots of excitement! Glad I took a chance on ya.
🙌 🙌
My name’s Eddie, and I’m from Brunswick, Ohio.
This is the second time I run into your channel. I’m planning to go to Florida for my vacation this June.
I have a few artificial lures for fresh water fishing, and I’m wondering if any of them will work with saltwater fish? By the way, AWESOME content. !!!
Man that is awesome, good luck while you’re down here. I use freshwater lures all the time, zoom flukes work amazingly well!
Yes they will. Spoons, jigs and life like crank baits like shad rap will work.
Great video Dude. Seems like an artificial vs worms video need to happen. From Saluda SC
🙌 🙌 I think you’re right lol
I'm in Columbia, SC. I normally fish off piers in Myrtle Beach. Enjoyed your video and will be trying for so Sheepshead this weekend.
I usually run a braided line on all my rods. 15-18lb diameter, 40-50lb test. Nothing's getting off and the abrasion resistance is amazing.
Roger that
yes and the phrase crusty crab is of course also a fantastic choice of marketing term and phrase very specifically marketed at a very specific audience of gen xrs, millennials, and “older” zoomers who will be super familiar with the Simpsons cartoon having grown up with it or watching it. I clicked on this video for that, exact, reason. I was badly hoping you would catch one with it so that I could justify going out and buying one!😂 And now I will save my money for another package of paddletails that I know for sure works having caught fish with them already
Enjoyed the sheepshead fishing. I've never fished for them before but I heard they're pretty prevalent in the waters around here. I'm in Richlands, NC and lived in Jacksonville, NC for years while stationed at Marine Corps Base, Camp Lejeune. I would fish the Neuse for sea trout and flounder. That's all I would fish for but I heard that sheepshead are a feisty fish. Okay, I'm a NEW SUBSCRIBER to help you hit your 30k subs. Heck, I'm struggling to hit 1.5k much yet your 30k subs. Good on you brother. Best to you and looking forward to more fishing adventures. I gotta go b/c your fishing made me hungry for some Bojangles and that yard bird needs to come see pappa. Full-watch. 👍🏽🤠 3/15/23
Thanks brother I appreciate it and thank you for your service!! I’m heading over to subscribe to you
@@southernsalt 👍
i am in Galveston bays “homewaters” I think I found your channel when you did a collab with one of our local youtubers… or could have been another Alabama tuber fisher. I dunno, important thing is of course, I found your channel last year!
🙌 it was probably MDLR
yes that one!
Gretna Louisiana here. Just came across one of your videos and now you’ve got yourself 1 more subscriber! Keep up the good fishing man.
🙌 thank you!!
First I just found your channel and liked this trip so thank you for sharing! I’m from Raleigh, NC but love our saltwater fishing! I like to run a 20 pound fluorocarbon leader on 15 pound braid for sheepshead.
Awesome man, thanks for sharing your setup!!
Can you talk a little bit in one of your videos about what you're seeing in terms of the bite when you're casting out like that for sheep? I'm so used to fishing vertical for sheep so I'd be curious to know exactly what you're looking for when you're casting to them.
Man really I just pay attention to the depth they’re holding in and I just blind cast around the pilings. I pay close attention to polio with patches of barnacles missing.
Great video we are watching you from orange beach alabama.We enjoy watching you try new baits keep up the great work
Awesome man, thanks!!
In Erwin NC I will be fishing the bridges around Southport and OKI soon…great videos and info!
Thanks and good luck!!

Have had really good luck with this setup. Have only been broken off a couple of times this year

I'm in Burlington Wisconsin. Pretty soon I'll be chasing walleye in the rivers. Just got 8" of snow last night, and more coming this weekend. Pssssssshhhhhhhhhh. Can't wait for Spring!
😯 holy cow man! I don’t think I’ve seen that much snow, hopefully it’ll be warmer for you all soon!
Sherman Tx. Lake Texoma native in the house! Love fishing the coast bur don"t get to fish there as much as I would like. My pb sheeps head is 13 lb. caught when I was 13 fishing off the pier of the Flagship Inn.
Awesome man that’s a giant!!!
I'm from Hickory North Carolina, and just kinda found you without looking, great content!!!!
Awesome, and thank you!!
Nate I’m thinking you might be partial to sheepshead and I can relate to that. I’m from west middle GA and fish Apalachicola, it offers way more than I have time to learn. Keep up the good work!
Hoping to up my game on sheepshead, always enjoy watching you catch them. Helps me learn tricks from good tips! Thanks! Forgotten Coast area
Awesome man, good luck out there!!
eastpoint apalachicola st george carrabelle? thats where i live
I'm watching from Reidsville, NC. Love coastal fishing!
Nice!!
Houston,Tx....I keep 20lb line on deck for the Sheepies..., nice vid man... TIGHT LINES!!!! 👍
Thanks brother! Love visiting Houston and fishing the Bayou Vista / Jones Bay Area!
I've been inspired, I'm going to the Gulf coast this summer, and I'm going to catch sheepshead on my fly tackle, flies, I'll probably tie a fiddler crab fly, and some sand worm and sand flea artificials..
Best thing you said is the flounder will be stacked in there soon. I just don’t care much about fishing for flounder.😂 Great action as alway on your videos Nate.
Thanks brother, I’m beyond excited to get back on flounder!
Hey I live in Beaumont, Tx. Sheepshead are my favorite fish to eat. I like to use 30 lb braided line. I primarily fish from the bank so I prefer the heavier line to get the fish away from structure. I really enjoyed your video and look forward to watching your future content.
Nice!!
Hello mate . New follower . Love your straight forward Ness . Love from London
🙌 🙌
Houston Texas is watching keep the lines tight
🙌 🙌
Viewing from Grapeland Texas, Salute! 😎
🙌
Catch and release is awesome. I know some people would love to have a few for their family.
Nothing wrong with that!
I am Adrian from Grand Rapids, Michigan. Happy fishing, you all!
Awesome!!
Newport NC! You just can't beat fishing in a kayak!
🙌 totally agree!
Southwest Missouri. Lived in West Palm Beach a couple yrs. Now I fish Bull Shoals and Northfork lakes.
Awesome!! Love west palm beach!
mmm some of the best tasting fish, I have some sheepshead fishing secrets I will never reveal lol
Oh come on lol
Just subscribed! Watching here on the west coast of Florida.
🙌 🙌!!
Always love your videos. From Crossville ,Tn . Will be down in dauphin island late may and early June. Whats the state of the bay then? Thanks for taking us with you on these videos. I always feel like I am there with you when I watch. Keep it up maybe we'll get to meet some day.
Man that’s awesome!! May is killer time for fishing around here. Plenty of trout, redfish and flounder!!
Hey Nate ;Great content love your videos, especially those sheepshead I love sheepshead fishing here in Jupiter Florida,,,and I just ate my first Black drum man I wont be throwing many of them back , delicious,I use 15lb braid and 25Lb. flouro or mono..
Thanks for sharing Brother
Yessir 🙌 that’s awesome brother, thanks for sharing!!
This is my first time watching you, and I'm in Clear Spring, Maryland. Nice video!
Awesome man!!
i love to have two setups a light braid 10 pound test...and actually a 40 pound braid... one for fun the other one for harvesting for dinner... it all depends what is the mindset that day.
Right on, I like it!
Longview, Texas, born and raised in Houston so did alot of fishing around Galveston and Freeport
Awesome!!
im happy to see you hit your goal of 40k subs before the year !
Thank you!!
Been watching for awhile, Avon Indiana, keep; on fishing.
Awesome man, thanks for supporting the channel!!
Enjoyed your video. Haven't done a lot of inland fishing on the gulf side mostly down way south around Key Largo (Card Sound bridge). Good fish down there but from my experience not quiet as large as yours. We only kept what we could eat while fresh. To stock the freezer we went for larger slabs as they last longer in the freezer. Slabs would be anything, amber jacks, snook, grouper, and occasionally a large Jew fish. Hollering from near the mountains in NW ga.
🙌 🙌
Yellow Bluff, Georgia great videos 👍
Thanks brother!!
Just subscribed from San Antonio TX. Great content my guy!
🙌 🙌 I appreciate it brother!
I fish for walleyes, steelheads, and salmon in Michigan; occasionally, I catch a big catfish. I use 8lb monofilament for everything. It's makes fishing faster and more fun fighting the fish. You just have to be patient; and it requires some finesse.
🙌
I fish with 10 lb braid and 25 lb mono leader to catch sheep heads all the time. Great video my friend
Thanks brother!!
Another fish should be on your bucket list if u need to hook up on to a Snook brother . Side line stripping spool and u will love it.
Lake Charles Louisiana!
I use 15lb braid/15 mono or fluorocarbon for sheeps, and 10braid/20 mono in the flats. I like the Salt Strong Power Prawn Jr with ProCure Shrimp gel on it.
Good Fishin!
Awesome man! So it seems from the comments that my setup is pretty standard. There’s a few that go heavier but 15-20 pound setups seem to be the most used setup.
Wow big fish😮
🙌
And another great insite to bridge fishing. Thanks again for your work, is the hardest part editing the videos? 😀
Thanks brother! It dang sure use to be the hardest thing, it’s a breeze now lol
Here on the Chesapeake Bay Bridge Tunnel, we use 30lb leader.
Right on!
Nice work when you can get it. Thanks from New Jersey Monmouth County shore.
Thanks man!!
Aww man that was good stuff amigo!!
Thanks brother!!
Great video Nate!
Thanks brother!!
I fish with 12 to 17 lbs line depending on the situation I fish that day, but I give the fish a fighting chance, I enjoy the fight not just using a broomstick like some do. Fishing is a great past time and enjoyment. My kids and now grandkids now enjoy catching the Convicts.
Same here brother, it’s more about the fight and the the challenge than the catch!
@@southernsalt definitely but .most people in this era of fishing go overboard in some many ways from keeping over the limit to just being A holes. I love fishing the bridges also but my passion for Sheepies is Flats around oyster bars while wading in Tampa Bay area.
Lexington North Carolina. Enjoy your videos.
Nice!! Thanks man I appreciate it!
NYC Long Island. Thanks for the info definitely appreciate it!
Nice!!
Reddick florida checking in!!👋
🙌 🙌
I can't wait until you start the flounder fishing videos Robert carawan in little river sc
Me either! I’ll start fishing for them next week!
Those chasebaits crabs are killer on porgy too!
Laredo, Texas. Great channel.
Thanks brother!!
I fish in New Smyrna Beach FL. I love the content and just subbed.
Awesome, thanks brother!!
I catch all my sheeps head on 10pound braid and 20-25pound leader. I agree with you, lighter tackle is way funner, catches just as much and in reality its lower profile so less spooking fish. Easy peasy.
🙌
