Sheepshead
Belleair, Florida, offers some surprisingly good sheepshead fishing, particularly around structure. These striped bandits are commonly found around docks, bridges, and seawalls throughout the area. The best time to target them is during the cooler months, from late fall through early spring, when they congregate to spawn. Sheepshead are notorious for their subtle bites, so using light tackle and sensitive rods is key. Fiddler crabs, shrimp, and oysters are all effective baits. Focus your efforts on the bottom, and be ready to set the hook quickly. Many anglers fish from the docks around Belleair, providing easy access. For boaters, the Belleair Causeway Boat Ramp is a convenient option. Local tip: Sheepshead have bony mouths, so using a small, sharp hook is crucial for a good hookset. Don't be afraid to experiment with different bait presentations to find what works best on a given day.
