Cam,

Way to go.

Those Sheephead are a lot of fun. I kind of think of them as the blackfish of the south (not as smart & ticky as tyhe blackfish though IMO). Caught a bunch south of Jacksonville a couple of years ago.

Where did you get them (Kiawah Island Reef or something like that)? Also, what was the bait of choice (clams or shrimps?)

Thanks Peter!! Chas. jetties on fiddler crabs.

The sheepshead are the kings of stealing fiddlers off a hook though. Fishing those jetties can be tough.....do you stern anchor and toss a bow "stone" into the rocks to get close....or just fish farther out..??? It's got to be a pretty smooth day too....

I was "driving" the Yam. 250/Seacraft last night, drifting, no anchoring. She was fishing. The ticket is have a "bay" boat w/trolling motor. I've seen 11 lb. sheeps caught there. That's about 6 to a 48 qt. cooler.

And the secret is...N or S jetty...inside or outside...
I've never done well on the N jetty. Best has always been on the S jetty...
