anyone been catching any sheephead? I usually dont fish for them but latley iv been wwanting to catch a few. any good spots?

I caught a few at the north jetty in bolivar. I had better luck in sabine pass though I wasn't targeting them they were killing shrimp on popping corks.

im fishing more in the galveston area, sabine pass is a little far

They're around most structures. A couple was catching them by dozens in P.I. pier last week on live Shrimp just dropped straight down. East cut jetties are pretty good right now for sheepshead too. Just use a small hook or you'll be frustrated to no end!

whats the P.I. pier?

i really wana catch some sheeps

My guess is Pelican Island.

Lol whoops sorry I'm used to everyone knowing what P.I. means. It's Port Isabel. It's right next to the bridge that connects to South Padre Island so you get to use both structures if you can cast out far enough to he close to it.

We caught one on a lure today.. They are thick in the bay right now.

where abouts? im thinking about kayaking out to the galveston causeway and dropping live shrimp down next to the pillars. I know they like to eat the stuff off the sides. What do yall think?

You should do pretty good there. Just get small hooks max 3/0 and keep feeling your line. Sheepshead are sneaky and tricky!!! Very frustrating but fun and they're great for the table

awsome i cant wait to try!

sharkslaya,

I was down at surfside and SLP on 3/22 and limited out between the two spots. I was popping small shrimp on a treble at Surfside jetty, about a 4-5 ft. leader and a fishfinder rig at SLP.

We caught 6 (30) limits off the North Galveston Jetty this last Saturday before the oil spill. I don't know what it's like now.

anyone been fishing the port Aransas jetty?
