Fishing for Sheepshead
24K logged catches • 289K followers
Sheepshead have impressive teeth, well defined incisors, molars, and grinders in the back which allow them to crush and grind the various shellfish they find. An effective method of attracting sheepshead is to scrape barnacles off of pilings and rocks to chum the water.
