Sheepshead
If you're after sheepshead in Belleair Shore, target the plentiful docks, bridges, and rock piles that line the coast and intracoastal waterways. Sheepshead love structure, and Belleair Shore has plenty of it. The best time to target them is during the cooler months, from late fall through early spring, when they congregate to spawn. These fish are notorious bait stealers, so use a small, sharp hook and be ready to set the hook quickly. Fiddler crabs and shrimp are the go-to baits. A local's secret: try fishing around the docks near the Belleair Country Club – the pilings are often heavily encrusted with barnacles, a sheepshead delicacy. Also, be mindful of the strong tidal currents in the area; you may need to adjust your weight to keep your bait in the strike zone.
