sheephead question - Page 2

Rick since you are at the park the best bet would be go out to the farthest peir or platform on the park and take a long handled flat hoe and scrape the barnacles off the pilings to get them to really feeding then drop down with a shrimp on a small thick j hook and a small piece of split shot. Use a floro leader or the little bas#@$ wont touch it. Next time I get down that way I will try to hook up with you and maybe we can go kill some. My boat is in the storage place across from the park now.

Bamasam - Sorry for the late reply, was up in GA closing out the deer season. Whenever you make it down here look me up. I'm normally at the park Tues - Sat. Lookin forward to meeting you.

If anyone else on the forum comes to Big Lagoon ask for me. I would love to put some names/faces together.

I have to agree with all the previous post, small hooks and fiddlers, damn fish have such a sensitive bite. My personal favorite is to drop down and sling some steel at em, bite every time. TRUE STORY: Ihad spent the better part of a day chaising this big sheepy around the dock we lived by in Mary Ester, total fluster set in, so i then decided to go in the garage and retrieve my dads old school speargun, (metal monster), keep in mind i was only in 3rd grade and it took all i had to get one of the 3 bands nocked, make a long story short he ate that speartip a lot easier than my fiddler crab, so i procede to the house with gun, fish and a big smile till dad pulled up as i was replacing the off limit item. needless to say i recieved a good with "the board of education". Later in life he told me that was the worst spanking, mentally for him because inside he was proud of his tadpoles motivation to achieve happiness.:doh
