Perdido Key is a great place for fishing, especially during the annual Sheepshead spawn. With longer days and kids out of school, it's the perfect time to head out on the water and catch some dinner. You can easily trick these bait stealers into biting the hook using light tackle and live shrimp.

Before you head out to catch sheepshead, it's important to understand their behavior and habitat. Sheepshead are typically found in coastal waters near structures like piers, jetties, and bridges. They are known for their sharp teeth and strong jaws, which they use to crush and eat hard-shelled prey like crabs and barnacles. Understanding their feeding habits and preferred habitats can help you choose the right bait and location for a successful fishing trip.

When it comes to bait, sheepshead are known to be picky eaters. They prefer live bait like fiddler crabs, sand fleas, and shrimp. It's important to use a small hook and light line when fishing for sheepshead, as they have a keen sense of sight and can easily detect anything that looks unnatural. When fishing near structures, it's important to use a weight that is heavy enough to keep your bait near the bottom but not so heavy that it gets stuck in the structure. By understanding sheepshead behavior and habitat, you can increase your chances of catching these elusive fish.

Sheepshead can be tricky to hook and land due to their strong jaws and teeth. One technique is to use a slow, steady retrieve to give the fish time to take the bait and get hooked fully. Another technique is to set the hook quickly and firmly as soon as you feel a bite. When reeling in a sheepshead, be prepared for a strong fight and use a net to land the fish safely.

Capt. Willie and his team have been taking groups out on fishing charters and have had no problem catching a mess of fish for dinner. The fishing season lasts until the middle of April or even longer, so there's plenty of time to enjoy the fun.

Until Next Time,

Capt. Miles Howell
