Just trying ot see if anyone has run into the sheephead yet or if it is a week or 2 early? let me know if you have any information on the bite thanks.

Heard last week that they were doing pretty well out at Bob Sikes. Do a search covering the last 2 weeks cause there has been some discussions on the Sheephead bite.

They're blwoing them up in Destin at the bridge.

There are a few being caught in and around Pensacola as well but not as many.

Try the I-10 bridge or train tressles up that way.

Bob Sikes, Fort Pcieksn Jetties and all the usual haunts will be firing after this front comes through and we get back into the 30s at night.

From recent reports that I have read, the sheephead bite is still hit and miss right now. Bob Sikes has been doing good at times if they are there. In the next month or so, they should be more abundant everywhere.

I-10 bridge over Escambia bay. Probably caught 7-8 keepers sunday, but when i mean keepers i mean SMALL keepers 12-15". Couple weeks and it will be on.

I fished monday morning at the Destin jetties and there wereschools of sheepshead hanging around the rocks. Right before the tide started coming in fast there had to of been about 30 of them hanging out right below the rocks. There are some big ones right now too.I caught one big one and one small one while I was there but after about 8am they werent wanting to bite anymore. We saw 4 sharks swimming along the jetties and there were some grouper caught and lost also.

I have been tearing em up at Destin Bridge. Live shrimp on a slip rig (weight adjusted to depth and current).

With the live shrimp you have a chance of catching Grouper, Black Drum, and Redfish also.
