They're sneaky feeders that's for sure! Bobber fishing is how it all started

Do a tutorial on how you rigged your rod

I did a Sheepshead fishing tutorial that includes a rigging section for some of my favorite rigs, including the slip float rig. Hope it's helpful! --> kzfaq.info/get/bejne/apydett1sdyUdoU.html

Thanks Rob!

Thanks my man, appreciate you watching!

Thanks! Works great when it's windy, sure it would help out newer sheepshead fishermen as well!

Thanks! It works great people use it for a lot of inshore species with other live baits and it's super effective floated along a grass line or structure

That's a good point! I think it helped because If the bobber didn't move like it was supposed to I know the sheepshead is sitting there munching on my bait.

Thanks man!

That's been my experience and it makes it really helpful having the float to see the slightest nudge!

How does a fosh move a cork up? Liek up and out of the water? In the air?

@@jckdnls9292 as the fish swims towards the surface of the water, it takes the pressure off the weight, the cork will move up and lay on it's side

I've actually used cylinder floats (like you use for bream or crappie) ... same concept, when they hit those (a lot like crappie do) it will usually just lay the float down on it's side as they feed up.

Yeah. Been there done that yrs ago

True that, much easier to use too

Hey thanks for watching Matthew! I made a video over the summer that went into more detail on a similar rig if you'd like to check it out: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/e5qjh72Ayri5fps.html

Thanks! Hope the rig works for you. And nice, I've only had my Pescador Pilot for a couple months but I love it so far. I'm fishing out of Charleston, SC.

@@MakeTimeForFishing Your area looks almost identical to mine. It looks like you have a great fisher down there! I have had my yak since right after they came out. I immediately took apart the upper and lower drives and packed them with Marine grease... making sure that all metal surfaces were at least coated in grease. She has seen nothing but salt her whole life. Rammed into many sand/oyster bars, logs, and even a submerged concrete piling once at full speed. Barely even any scratches. Just dont ever pedal backwards even in soft mud. That will cause the thin side of the blades to dig in and it will get nicked. I just took my gearboxes apart again a month ago for the first time since I packed the grease in there. Still looks like new! Not bad. I thought it was going to be bad in there since she has been getting harder to pedal lately. However, it turns out that the pedals themselves had some grim built up on them... and that they were over-tightened. Cleaned up the grime and loosened the hardware a little... and now it is 2x easier to pedal. lol Will only make a difference on those long days of slow cruising though, I think. Most importantly though, it will feel better to me. Oh, and when going over a sand bar really quick you do not have to fully tuck the drive up into the hull most times. Just pull the pin, use your foot to push the drive forward and hold it up (but not into the hull), then paddle over the bar. Saves a lot of time and turns the task into something easy peasy.

I appreciate all the tips! I did pack it full of marine grease when I got mine but I do need to do some tightening on the prop I think, has a little back and forth wiggle but I love the drive.

This was from about 2 hours before to a little after low tide. Current was strong that day but with the kayak I'm able to get right behind the pilings which helps a lot.

Yes I probably could have used a smaller bobber and/or a larger weight to decrease the overall buoyancy. I do actually have some of those "English bobbers" laying around, maybe I'll try those next time. Thanks for the ideas!

Thanks John! Glad you like my videos! Sounds like you've been getting on the fish quickly! Fiddlers and other live crabs are excellent bait for sheeps but you can also use oysters and mussels just a more fragile bait to work with. It depends on how cold it's been and the bait shop but many carry fiddlers. Goodluck!

Wooh, welcome! Thanks for the sub!

Thanks Anthony! It's a great area to fish! And yes I prefer to fish the couple hours around low tide but I've caught them at all points in the tide cycle there!

Thanks! Size 1 or 1/0 would be better but j hooks traditionally work better for sheepshead with the shape of their mouth.

Thanks so much! Yes, what I'm doing is lifting up to confirm I feel a fish there then I set the hook with the line already tight. I use a very small size 1 owner mosquito hook and it's crazy sharp so even a small hookset usually gets them well hooked. Thanks for watching!

@@MakeTimeForFishing Got it. Thanks!

@@ej1547 Sharp hooks is one of the keys to getting the sheepshead hook set. Their mouths are so hard that it is very easy to get your hook point bent just a small amount. I keep a hook sharpener with me all the time and a regular check on my hook point.

I love it, huge improvement! I made a rudder extension modification with fiberglass and raised the seat up an inch or 2 with a 2x4. Both helped a ton

@@MakeTimeForFishing What did the rudder extension do? I'm local as well. Where did you pick up the kayak? Thanks!

The rudder extension made the turning radius tighter. And I got mine used on marketplace

Thanks! I'm using the Pescador Pilot from Perception. Their Pilot Drive is definitely fast

It should I think you'd have to use a heavier weight and a float big enough to support it. But best thing would be to get straight in the current break behind a piling.

It's a slip bobber. I fished a few different depths between 3 feet and up to 8 feet or so.

I made this video a while back that better shows how to tie it: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/e5qjh72Ayri5fps.html

I'm in Charleston, SC

It's actually more like 3.5 - 4 mph with mild effort but it is pretty fast!

These were KastKing Sol Armis gloves. I've used a few different pairs over the last year or so, they don't tend to last long with dock fishing they get sliced up.

I'm down in Charleston, SC

Thanks! I'm in Charleston, SC

Fiddler crabs!

This is Charleston, SC

@@MakeTimeForFishing thank you we are retired folks from PA , and thinking to come down there to fish is there any spot we can fish from land ?

There are several piers you can fish and quite a few good beaches for fishing as well!

@@MakeTimeForFishing Thank you very much for your time

No this is in Charleston, SC. I know the creeks can look pretty similar, though.

@@MakeTimeForFishing yeah I could tell it was over that way somewhere. I was close!

Definitely not far off!

I primarily use the oysters in the winter when the fiddlers aren't available. I'll be using them again soon
