A Fishing Bait That Sheepshead Simply Can't Resist 

Keep doing what you’ve been doing JC! Your supporter, like myself, will keep watching you make great videos.

It really don’t matter what others think about what you need to do. Your the one pulling the big ones in and we see you catch them all the time. JC you keep the good work up. I see great things coming for you.

I live in Pa now, and the one thing I miss is fishing near bridges and near inlets. I used to fish almost every day. I used eat what I caught and more than once made supper for 30 people. OMG do I miss those days of catching, cleaning, and cooking, what I caught. Thank you for reminding me how special fishing is.

Next time you get a bait stealer like that one guy try this. Drop down then lift up slowly so you can feel the weight of the fish. Your videos are some of the most informative inshore fishing information out there, thanks.

Man, I’m glad you use some of the cheap stuff and share it on your channel. I can’t afford the expensive gear and enjoy learning about ways to save so I can keep fishing. Keep up the good work!

Another great video to help me unwind after a 9 hour shift on my feet. Love your attitude.. Don't change a thing. You've caught hundreds if not thousands of fish in front of us, obviously you know what you're doing. I've got rods from Star, St Croix and bull Bay, but for some reason every time I go out the front door the first one I reach4 is my Ugly Stik intercoastal.. All $46 worth LOL if you ever find yourself on the east coast in the Melbourne area let me know, we got some killer fishing over here.

Great video as usual! I have been using the same rod for a ouple years now. You do you and keep the great videos coming!

As a freshwater fisherman, when I get to saltwater fish.....tiered of fishing on credit I changed to a kahle and it helped out tremendously. Glad you ventured out and had success !

Definitely right! It doesn't take expensive setups to catch fish! Keep doing what you do JC!

Man, you're a household name in my family, literally. My mom knows you because every time you catch a fish you give a thumbs up my nana absolutely ADORES and LOVES you. Her favorite episode was with the floating grill. Man, I've never heard her say "THERE YA GO!" and start clapping when you finally made it work, LOL. As far as you using the cheap product, screw what they say, dude. I bought a Penn Pursuit 4 based on your advice and I'm going to Walmart Friday to buy me a Zebco rod with a cheap reel for sheepshead too! I honestly don't think they know how the structure works. You've been catching a crap ton of fish on cheap rods, so at this point, I'd just ignore it. Every damn person comes onto RU-vid pretending they're a specialist in SOME kind of field. Keep up the good work, might invest in me a good ole' sportsman.

I'm originally from Fort Myers and it's nice to see ya fishing farely close to my home and heart. Cheap gear works just as good as the rest up to a point. I wouldn't shark fish with cheap stuff but for smaller table fare it doesn't take much money to put together a usable setup. As you've proven. Wish you and the channel the best of luck! Sincerely, a sub🤙

Awesome video as always JC. I really enjoy watching your contents. You seem like a down to earth guy and that’s what I like about you. You relate to most of us regular folks. Keep up a great work good Sir 👍🏼. Thank you very much

Hay JC , love your videos, especially the catch and cook !!! I live probably 10 miles from you , even though red tide is leaving our area. Have you ever thought about metal detecting ? The beaches or out of your kayak were you can only get .Keep up the great work , love it. !!!!!

I never heard one of those sheepshead complain about what you caught them with. Love your attitude JC!

Your channel is amazing. It’s amazing what you do. I think it’s pretty freaking awesome. Can’t wait for the next one buddy awesome sheep head.

Thank you for showing that easy leader knot. I was trying to figure that out yesterday and now I know!

Hello JC happy fishing🎣 Sunday always enjoying your fishing🎣 videos thank you JC for this tip I will tie this next time I go pier fishing🎣

Awesome fishing can’t wait to get down there and fish learning some of your techniques so some of your rigs that you are using

Enjoyed the video and also all the helpful information.

Thanks for another great adventure! I learn something new every time .🙂

You are awesome! Thank you for telling me it’s ok not ti brake my back when on expensive tackle and gear!!

Great job on those sheepshead I had one of those cheap Walmarts rods for like 5-years 😃💪

Hey, most of us are Walmart fisherman… keep ‘em coming

Nice video! Agee wholeheartedly about the gear you use. Expensive stuff will cut just as quick, it’ll just cost more! Tight lines!

Great video and some nice sheep 💪

JC hi, I am super excited every time you release a new video , I don't know where you find the energy and how you remain so committed and excited every time you catch a fish whether its big or small. I am from South Africa and have fished from the age of 5 so that makes it 65 years of fishing. My question is would it at all be possible for you to courier range of your favorite pompano jigs and teasers to SA. Prepaid prior to dispatching. Let me know if you would be interested in helping out an old sea dog.

Yea JC. you got the best day ,great parking ,got best bait and got you some great fish ,Nice Nice Brother,I said it many times don't use too stiff of a rod for those sheepers you need flex for those powerful runs or you'll pull the hook ,yea man you got it,WTG JC. thanks for sharing Brother .

I caught more fish using fishing gear from Aliexpress than most of those guys who buy their stuff from those expensive fishing stores so I know exactly what you’re talking about!

Great video JC. I wonder how many fish those guys with the expensive gear get compared to the number you put in the box? Keep up the great work!

Awesome JC!!!

Happy Easter JC!

Dude such great content and info. The good vibes are felt!! Good luck and respect 🫡

Couldn’t agree more with your statement Jc my reel is the cabo pt series which was not cheap but I’m harsh on my reels and it’s the only one that last the torture I put it threw as far as line and leader I use the same Omni leader for all my fishing needs unless shark fishing but my braids are all of off Amazon spooled my 6/0 up with 600 yards of either 80-100 pound braid can’t remember the weight class for only 27 bucks power pro or these other name brands would of easily been 100 plus bucks but love the content hopefully one day we will meet

Those things are master thieves. Great job!!

VERY WELL DONE 👍,,,

I like your closing comments about so called "fan's" saying invest in this or that, they need to stay in their respectful lane. I liked your video.

I'm 70, and grew up fishing the Florida lakes, rivers, and gulf using Zebo 33's, a Mitchell 300 (which I still have), glass rods, and landed my share of big fish on inexpensive tackle. I'll admit, I like the new high dollar stuff, but you are correct, when it comes to catching fish, you don't need to break the bank. For the person who is about to say you won't think that when you lose that PB; yep that could happen, but if I don't get it this time, I'll get it next time, and then I'll send it back home.

KEEPER SHEEPERS ! Well done sir!

🤘🏻😎🤘🏻 Awesome stuff dude

They have a 10 dollar Ozark Trail combo too. The Wayfarer. Works well for freshwater panfish.

Jc am from the Caribbean #268Antigua🇦🇬 to be exact. I found your channel while looking for q review on the Ugly Stick gx2 since I was in the market for rods as I want to get into fishing. N since then I've been here I own 2 Ugly stick rods just ordered n got my penn pursuit 3 4000 reel to peer up with my two piece rod. N let me say I love your channel becuz it's very informative n it's not like those others with the expensive setup. Cuz here where am from 1us is 2.71 in my exchange rate plus Shipping n clearing when it gets here. So watching your channel it helps me to choose good gears at reasonable price. For get the haters n continue to give us great content 👌. Ps I hope to start catching as much fish as u when I get my lures to Starr lure fishing

Hey man fish don’t care what gears you are using they just want to eat have fun love the video 😅

Im NewSubscriber In Your Channel. I Noticed That You Are The Sheepshead Master…. I live In New Jersey North East Im A Kayak Angler Here I also Go The North And South of Long Island Sound In NY Theres Plenty Fish Out There

Recorded horizontally😀👍

TWO WORDS FOR YOU MR. RAD REEL........."MUD CRABS"

Hey what's the line you're using? Thanks!

I’m converted gonna get the reasonably priced gear from now on.

I thought the rod looked familiar. I bought one for my son. It’s a nice rod, especially for $10.

Hopefully you will get your slam tomorrow.

Nice Sheepshead. Don't know until you go.

You should try fishing for sheepshead with a cane pole. The set up would probably cost under twenty dollars at Walmart.

I use the same leader, love your economy guidance. The elitist fishing gear community is strong. You catch as much, if not more than anyone, keep doing what you’re doing!

You da man!!🤙🤙

You can park right under the bridge from the restaurant on the right before the bridge can launch from there see people doing it all the time

Very cool video!!! Recent follower. One question? The rod is The zebco is the hotcoast? Or which one? I’m trying to find it and no luck. And is not pined on the description can you please help? I’m looking at Walmart page and also have different ones I want to be the flexible like the one you show.

If it works, it works. The fish aren't gonna be impressed by expensive gear.

Hey JC, just curious, how do you transport the autopilot now with your new ride? you still top load or trailer😉

where are you fishing? i live in bradenton and looking for decent spots

Does the line connected to the leader at that spot at the knot flow smoothly through the guides? Maybe if you do them right you don't feel it at all. That could be my problem, just asking. Also thanks for all the good tips towards the end of this video. Keep doing them like that and it'll be harder to stay away for a long period of time ever again! God bless JC!

Nice 👍

Is there no free parking in that area? That's criminal. Thank you

Don’t need to buy some of that OVERPRICED gear. Great video

Pine Island, my neck of the woods

"Nice!"

Can't find that zebco rod anywhere 😢

Sheepshead prefer small crabs above all other baits. I have been fishing for sheepshead for nearly 40 years and always caught more on crabs than any other bait. Used shrimp, clams, tube worms, barnacles, and green mussels when crabs were not available but caught fewer fish.

Get em JC. Razor sharp is razor sharp. IT's not the line or the leader or the rod. I've been looking for that rod for a year, can't find it.

why is it that every time I watch one of your videos I realize I am just not living life right. great stuff and don't let the I paid way more that you crowd get ya down. fools and their money my man.

Don’t know if you noticed , but you said 20-25 lb mono but you held up 15lb.

If it works don't fix it! keep on keepen on

It was your day buddy…. Not many days like that one….

That water looks toxic GREEN

Word to the wise ... never podcast while driving.

Hey JC how are ya man? I totally agree why spend money you don't have or have too. I'm disabled and on a fixed income so I can relate! Hey please get back to me asap regarding the crab lures I saw you use on another video(I sent you an email with what it was called. I believe it was crankacrab. Thanks JC! John

That's true jc....alot of these utube fisherman think you have to have all the top of the line fishing gear to catch fish....not saying any names lol!....you make these other utube fishermen look stupid..

Let the haters hate, they are just mad that they spent too much $$$ on their gear.

Did anyone think he had too much slack when he missed four consecutively?

Am I the only one screaming "Tighten your damn line!!!"? You fish with zero-line tension. How are you supposed to feel a subtle Sheepshead bite fishing like that? Line tension = feeling the Sheepshead bite. Otherwise, you get robbed and won't know it ever happened.

Lots of good info here. I saw a steelhead fisherman tie that braid to leader knot. I need to start using it too. Way faster than the one I use out of habit. I collected oysters once. The ones in the wild are definitely razor sharp and with slice through any line without consideration of how expensive it is.🔪🪒
