sheepies! help
So iv been going nuts trying for sheeps. I have caught 1 accidently on a sand free pompano rig at juno. I know a kid there who catches them on shrimp under the t.
I got 3 shorts at sebastain on the catwalk during slack tide on fiddler crabs and saw a couple caught on live sand fleas. I was using a 2oz fish finder rig current rips there
I found a spot here,that I see then but read if you see them they won't eat. So should I go at night? I tried fresh shrimp pieces today and live and frozen fleas no luck. They laughed at me. I broke off a ton of barnacles and,poop no help.
How do you catch the fiddlers they are too fast for me?
Advice please! Kblue take me and show me the secret

I was fishing at Dania the other day and overheard some locals talking how to catch sheepsheads.. They say you have to flip a quarter every time before you cast.. if its tail, they dont bite.. if its head then

Re: sheepies! help
I freeline or use a small split shot weight to fish for them. Fish for them when the tide isn't running that much.
For fiddler crab, I just look in their hole and if I can see them, I stick a knife at an angle blocking them from going deeper into the hole. I then just push them out of the hole and catch them that way.

Can find them in southern biscayne bay on the flats, I frequently see them where freshwater meets saltwater too.

Read where their common habitats are...I fish freshwater almost every day and know the differences but say what you want.

Re: sheepies! help
If you haven't already. You should go out and buy an electronic fish finder...
Also it wouldn't hurt to update your GPS maps, scanners, sensors, and trackers.

Re: sheepies! help
i use a standard carolina rig with the slide weight and a small hook, shrimp usually work well for me. always do best during a cold front or right after. I only do okay over here, if you want alot of sheepies take a trip to the perserve on sanibel island, there its like shooting fish in a barrel this time of year
