What do you do when conditions are crummy for fishing?
Do you try to stick to the plan and tough it out?
Or stay at home and clean the boat?
Luke and I were recently faced with this problem and had a big decision to make.
The tides were bad, weather was bleh, strike score was low, and to make matters worse, we were paying our video guy, Cody, to be with us.
We had to go fishing and instead of trying to stick to our previous plan, we made a new one: let's go fishing for sheepshead in the canals.
And to make it harder on ourselves, we weren't going to get live shrimp or fiddler crabs, but instead were only going to use fake crabs.
Up until recently, we never thought you could catch sheepshead on artificial lures but we've been testing these lures out and wow...
Want to see how we did?
Watch this video.
You'll learn:
- what the best docks and pilings for sheepshead are
- what the top mistakes people make when fishing for sheepshead are
- how to position your boat, approach a dock, and make a perfect cast to catch more sheepshead
And much more.
Enjoy!

I LOVE catching sheepshead. This time of year early winter is incredible here in south Louisiana. The big 5 to 8 lb sheepshead come into the marsh and the fight is on. Nothing per pound pulls like a sheepshead. We fish the oyster beds with market bait and catch easily 20 a day. It is one of the best tasting fish out there. Why people treat them like trash fish is beyond me. I find a lot of anglers are missing out because they dont know how to clean them easily, cook them correctly and know there are many artificial baits you can catch them on. Come to south Louisiana and fight these big sheepshead. So large you cant open your hand wide enough to hold them and you will be hooked.

Why not add spot lock to your trolling motor makes it a heck of a lot easier to stay on target and fish those areas more productively?

@Saltstrong 4 жыл бұрын

I prefer the tiller motor for my skiff because it's better for the shallows where I spend most of my time.

@Snookchaser007 3 жыл бұрын

Spot lock is great for offshore but inshore a hand controller is king when fighting a fish in tight spots or in tide you often need to adjust the boats positioning quickly trying to find a button for power and another for steering on a remote leaves your hand off the reel for several seconds which can allow slack in line leading to a lost fish a hand control uses gross motor skill instead of fine and can often be turned enough with just a bump of you knee keeping both hands on the reel also all your battery is used on the motor instead of half being used for steering which can be important fishing tidal areas on an all day trip or multiple day trip in remote areas without access to power to recharge while those little remotes and spot lock are trendy I will take tiller all day inshore
