Sheepshead
Sheepshead, those quirky-looking fish with human-like teeth, can be a fun target near Greenwood, Delaware. Although Greenwood is not directly on the coast, it is a short drive to the Delaware Bay. These fish are structure-oriented, so focus your efforts around bridge pilings, rock jetties, and docks in the bay and its tributaries. The best time to target them is during the warmer months, from late spring through early fall. Fiddler crabs are the bait of choice, but clams and mussels can also be effective. A key local tip: use a small, sharp hook and set the hook quickly when you feel the subtle bite of a Sheepshead. They are notorious bait stealers! Sheepshead in the Delaware Bay are known for their relatively good size, with many fish exceeding 5 pounds. Be sure to check the current Delaware fishing regulations for any specific rules regarding Sheepshead.
