How Do You Catch Sheepshead?
Sheepshead are a saltwater fish that is fun to catch and even better to eat! Catching sheepshead is very easy to do with a few simple steps. In no time you will be catching plenty of sheepshead and having fresh seafood for dinner. First we will make the sheepshead rig. Tie the swivel to the mono filament leader. Tie the hook to the other end of the monofilament leader. Tie good knots and trim them. Sheepshead fight very hard so make sure your knots will hold. Slide the egg sinker onto the fishing line coming off of your pole. Attach the swivel of your sheepshead rig (from step 1) to the line coming off of your fishing pole. The egg sinker should be able to slide up and down your line without being able to go past the swivel. Now you are ready to catch some sheepshead. Pick the spot you will fish from. Sheepshead tend to be around structures that are covered in one of their favorite foods… barnacles! Look on pilings from boat docks, around bridges, and piles of rocks or other debris.
