If you can't get any fiddler crab you can always get a soft plastic from savage gear that'll be realistic looking an get some proline attractant spray in creyfish frog an nightcrawler which is awesome to use. It helps attract fish.

Long, long ago, when my father would take my brother and me pier fishing in the Galveston area, sheepshead were considered trash fish. That was true of pretty much everything besides specks, reds, and flounder. We might keep the occasional large whiting, but we threw back a lot of good-eating fish. I didn’t find out sheepshead were good to eat until I was a grownup!

I hear where you are coming from Dan. Here in Australia, I threw a whole lot of ‘rubbish ‘ fish over the side while in pursuit of more desirable species. 30 years later, I quietly curse myself for those ‘bad’ days of yesteryear when all we caught was ‘rubbish’ and came home empty handed when we had a good feed but poor knowledge. Today, I still love catching the classic edibles, but I don’t mind catching yesteryear’s ‘crap’.

Here in the Florida Panhandle we use Fiddlers all the time throwing them on a small hook and no sinker and letting them drift under the docks. Almost always produces red fish and sheepshead it’s a great time on light tackle. I prefer them over mud crabs

When I was a kid, first time ever going to the ocean, my dad took me on a fishing trip. First day was on a smaller boat in the bay and the second and third days would be in the Gulf Stream on his friends big charter boat. Well the first morning at the docks I asked about all the tiny crabs handing around amd if fish would eat them. The guide said fish would eat them and if I caught one then he would let me use it for bait. My eyes lit up. I went to WORK. I found a net on a boat and asked to borrow it. I chased those crabs everywhere. 😂 I ended up catching a couple dozen and we had the best day catching those sheepshead fish.

My dad was a captain and I grew up at a marina fishing for sheepshead. The best crabs to use are those little black ones that hang on the pilings. We would freeline a crab on a #2 gold hook. Those sheepshead just can't ignore a crab.

If you gonna throw the fish back would like to see it treated a bit better, like the one you leverage your pliers on its eye to get the hook out was a bit meh. Ah well maybe im just to sentimental, I would probably put some soft mat on the floor as well so they damage themselves less. But great footage you inspire me to go out and get a kano to fish myself, greetings from the Netherlands.
