The FISH with HUMAN Teeth! Catch Clean Cook Matthew: I really like this video. I grew up in Pensacola, sheepshead were one of my favorite fish to catch. Growing up I couldn't always afford fiddler crab for bait so instead, I'd use whole hermit crab on a J hook and free lined the baits along bridge pilings, jetties, and docks. I would watch for either a line twitch or slack line moving off and set the hook. My PB was 10lbs. Hermit crabs were my go to bait. Sheepshead are great tasting because of their crustacean diet.
You mentioned big black drum, you should hit up Bearded Brad in Orange Beach, AL. He catches monster sized drum locally.

Every year for the past 21 years I ve left my home in Fort Lauderdale to spend a week over summer fishing on Androscoggin lake in Leeds, Maine.
I catch large and small mouth bass up to 6-8 lbs, pickerel, and white perch.
There are trout in the lake also but I ve never pulled one out myself during summer. I did see someone catch a rainbow trout in the lake once but I think you re more likely to catch brown trout if/when you do.
Anyway, it s a beautiful place and I highly recommend it for anyone looking for a scenic getaway.
We stay at Angell Cove Cottages which is the best place on this lake, without a doubt.
Maybe I ll see you out there one year, Vic! We know a lot of the locals and get into lots of shenanigans so we can show you around town.

Enjoyed the video. We have a great sheepshead fishery up here in Jacksonville. Sooo. the big black drum come up into the st. johns river to spawn from the first full moon in March to the full moon in April. They can be targeted the same way as our bull red run in the fall. Three way swivel set up, with deshelled blue crab on a circle hook. The locals don't talk loud about it, but if you get out there, you can catch them 70-100lbs. No bs. Good luck my friend. Tight lines

Black drum actually do get upwards of that 50-60lb class range in Florida. Me and my dad used to go drop half a fist-sized blue crab underneath bridges right next to the pillars and catch em under the Gandy. 50lb mono, 50-60 flouro leader, 5 to 7/o mustad beak hook, 3oz egg on a Carolina rig. Usually about 3-4ft of leader. Havent been in years but im sure its just as good as its always been.

Black drum, Florida get huge. I ve Caught in the 60 pound range, fernandina bch. Jetty and south end inlet.
I think Mrs Moore caught one weight 90 plus back in the day.
Sheepshead was a favorite species in my youth. North jetty and fiddlers were the bait.
So much fun to catch because of the challenge of the non existent bight.
Excellent table fare.

Those mojarra are the best tasting fish out there, just not a ton of meat. I recommend you pan-fry one sometime, you'll love it. Also, they recently prohibited keeping puffers from Martin to Volusia Counties, so make sure you aren't keeping any from that area (not that you did, but just so you know.

Vic I know the exact feeling you're talking about with fishing new baits or catching new species, I get it too, I get excited even when I catch something less desirable if it's a pb or a new species for me. I always joke with my buddies that it's another page completed in my Pokedex lol

Here in Louisiana, we catch sheepshead like that. One tip to catching them: let them slack your line. Fish tight line with crab or shrimp and you ll notice they always slack your line. Their teeth and the way they feed causes tons of fishermen to miss their bite

Been Sheepie fishing a couple times this month. Got one and got skunked. Fish can be very picky. Fiddler May work one day and then nothing but sand fleas the next day. May depend on where you fish for them as in more open versus coves

Whats a good way to contact you. I got the GIANT black drum spot from the shore. Biggest ive caught is 62 pounds. 30-45 are common. Its not uncommon to catch 40 or 50 in a day. Let me know.

According to John Skinner its good to take the legs of the crab because Sheepsheads are notorious for stealing your bait and just taking it on the legs so they are difficult to hook.
