Convict Fishing - Skyway fishing pier catch and cook! In this episode I show you how to target sheepshead with a cork, it's a special technique. I have been fishing for sheepshead for years in this manner. I use a bobber stop bead, slip cork, swivel, 20lb leader and a number two hook. You have to be patient with these convict and it does get a little frustrating but if you stick with it then it can be very rewarding. After catching I show you how to saute them up, my goodness this recipe is great! I challenge you to give it a try and let me know your thoughts.

Give a thumbs up folks if you want more videos like this. I implemented a little of everything, tutorial, fishing and the cooking.

My brother hooked a damned Tarpon on that thing one time, it was too big to pull it out of the water. It was the catch of a lifetime. That must have been exciting. RIP Roger.

This is one of my favorite videos you've produced just because it's a different way of catching Sheepshead. I watched it when you first published it. I found some pass crabs the other day. I came hear to see how big the ones you were using were. I might try them as bait for some Sheepshead.

Rita Hurtado The key to shark is bleeding them right away and then not puncturing organs when you fillet them. After that, soak the meat in milk or buttermilk for hours with ice cubes. Dip those babies in fish and chips batter with salt and pepper, fry until golden. It's heavenly.

I have been fishing the piers for twenty years or more, back in the day when the piers were nice they had fillet stations. I have been cleaning fish on that bridge for years and thousands of carcasses thrown back. I would recommend keeping them whole until you are ready to exit the pier. BTW, I used to clean my grouper right in front of the FWC officers. ;)

@jimgoff268 6 жыл бұрын

But, watching your videos and want to try fishing the skyway, is it or is it not, illegal to do? Based on what I read, it is. The game warden doesn’t want to hear from me if stopped on the bridge “ some guy from KZfaq said”. Just like drinking and driving, you just haven’t been caught yet. I now regret buying your shirt. If it hadn’t been washed already, I would return it. At least you could admit your mistake instead of making an excuse for it.
