SECRET Sheepshead Bait Catches GIANT Fish 

Man I appreciate the heck out of that!!

I live in Fort Walton Beach also

@@user-bt6zr4br7m It's such a small world...Who knows, we may have run into each other one day

🙌

Never thought of or tried hominy as bait for a thing. But it makes sense, too. Loving the ideas.

I can't believe any self respecting fish would eat tasteless hominy.

Aquatic life senses are different than human senses. ;)

What state are you fishing in

🙌

😂 🙌 🙌

If it's ok to ask , what was your results with the corn and or the hominy?

I fish the new Smyrna bridge fenders with corn and do pretty good but no luck at the jetty,kinda strange

🙌 awesome brother!!

I grew up in the City of Tonawanda

Im new to Buffalo and reside in cheektowaga. I plan to use this concept

Trout love the sweet corn bigtime as well.

@user-bi9jj6gz1q sea trout ?

Have to be fresh but are amazing for everything

Nice!!

Where did you catch it? I fish Surfside and Matagorda....

Wat bridge

Fresh or saltwater?

@@ironwork92000 🤣🤣🤣

@@jasonk9020 lol,what?

Nice!!

🙌 🙌

Let us know how you do!

Caught my first sheepshead in PCB on the Jetty in St Andrew. You live in a great spot!

@@AngryChiropractor Thanks for the tip. I'll certainly check that out.

They are very abundant, get very big, and tug hard. They eat mostly barnacles from pilings but will hit most anything dropped in front of them. Fresh dead shrimp works fine. No need to buy expensive live bait for them. Most people don't like to eat them, but that mindset is slowly changing.

@@kevinstogner9477 Are there certain times to fish for them? High/low tide? I've been to the bridge several times trying to catch them. Ive used fidler crabs, shrimp, sqid but got nothing.

Very nice!

I like to feel them have a constant tug on the bait before I set the hook.

My dad was great at getting good hook sets on Sheepheads when others (like me) were missing them left and right. Especially in fast moving tide changes at choke points like the Oregon Inlet at the OBX in NC. He would say the secret was “setting the hook before you felt the bite”. He also often rigged it drop-shot so the weight was below the hook, sometimes using 1/8 oz above the leader and a split shot or 1/16 jig head below, with the hook swinging off a 3-4” dropper loop between the leads. It kept just enough tension on the line that he could feel anything. He’d say stuff like “oh there’s one sizing up my bait right now…he’s thinking, he’s thinking, he’s staring really hard…”BAM hook set. And my brother and I NEVER SAW THE ROD TWITCH or line move or anything that indicated a nibble.

🙌 thank you for watching!!

🙌 thanks brother!

Just moved to the PCB area 3 months ago. Still looking to catch my first sheepshead too.

🙌 thanks brother can’t wait to see what you do with the Hoodwinks!!

@@southernsalt thank you sir! I’ll try them on our shallow flats. Clear water should be good for the colors I picked.

Oh yeah I’m from Corpus Christi,Texas, my pb Sheepshead is 23”

😂 🙌

South Salt doesn't cut out the wild stuff so it keeps it real. He is very inspiring as well.

Or... Pop the cap off the end and give it a squirt of insulation foam and turn the handle into a bobber.

Yep that would of saved me lol

Much better option. ​@@gregkirchner1108

Just a 4 ft piece of Paracord tether will get yet net back every time.

Shoepeg corn is not as soft and stays on rhe hook better, we brine it with salt to dehydrate it and then soak it with pink shrimp sent to catch the heck out of the Kokanee up here in WA state, give that a try.

Thank you brother!!

Thank you 🙏

🙌

Nice one!!

Very nice!!

Awesome man good luck to y’all!!

Happy Holidays and that right there is pure awesomeness!!

Hopefully, later on, he will teach you his tricks that may work better than what you grew up knowing ..make sure you teach him that part too ..😂

yeah, gotta be nice to our children, they'll be choosing our nursing homes :)

I bet a sabiki would work well
