Ochlocknee After Work
I noticed that NOAA once again was dead wrong on the wind forcast for today. It predicted 15-20 for today, but by early afternoon I noticed there was very little wind and called up Flounderpounder to go fishing. We headed out to the river to soak some bait and do some lazy man's after work fishing. It was high tide when we anchored up and there was no wind. It was slick calm and ass sweating hot. The bite was unbelievably good. I have a theory that Fay has pushed all the fish down and out of all the rivers, so despite the color of the water, the deeper holes at the river mouths are holding lots of feeding fish. Seemingly every cast produced fish. We caught plenty of reds, sheepshead, and black drum. Lots of them were quality fish. Too bad the coming storm will elevate the winds for the rest of the week, because fishing is better right now than it's been for months.

I'm guessing live shrimp and a circle hook?
Re: Ochlocknee After Work
Good question WaltDawg, I am fairly new to sheephead fishing but I love it. I would really like to know the techniques for them. I haven't had any luck with a circle hook, not much soft mouth to hook into. The best luck I have had is using a very wide gap hook and the sheephead get hooked behind their top teeth. If y'all have any tips please share. Hmm wonder if the new reef fish laws apply to sheephead?WaltDawg wrote:I'm guessing live shrimp and a circle hook?
Thanks and great catch!!!!
Re: Ochlocknee After Work
Use a 1/0 Kahle hook. Gets 'em most of the time.
