I have been reading that March is a good time in P-cola bay for sheep. Even though it is early, I wanted to know a couple of things. Like, what is their favorite bait, and good spot to get em at? Is bottom fishing the way to go? This is really a fun fish to CATCH/EAT FOR ITS SIZE so Father law n me wanna eat some and release some..
I wonder what my wifes saying when I am gone for 10 hours fishing? Tommy

| I see em all year round, colder water usually drives them to bite. Shallow water angler november issue had a good article on how to chum them up, using a spade shovel and slapping barnacles off of pilings and stantions. Fiddler crabs, shrimp, sand fleas are all good live bait, you could also use clam, they should hit it. for fiddlers, be certain to remove the front claws, defense will deter the fish. bottom fish, leave the bait on the bottom, try not to move it, feel for the bite. In colder weather they may slam it, you may never feel it.

| Sheephead are hands down, one of the best eating fish out there, I don't care what anybody says! Better than grouper. Yeaj, I said it. Because of there shellfish diet, they have a oily, sweet meet, similar to trigger. In fact, it actually is kinda like crab meat I think because of the sweetness. There is no wrong way to cook a sheepheads. Coconut battered is one great way that complements its sweetness. And blackened on the grill is downright tasty. They do have a big run in the spring, and only last about a week and a half where they are just dumb as all get out and thick enough to walk on. I dont rod and reel for em, I spear em. Good luck to you!
