Sheepshead
Sheepshead are a popular target around Bunnell, thanks to the abundant docks, pilings, and oyster bars found in the Intracoastal Waterway and nearby creeks. These areas provide the structure and food sources that Sheepshead thrive on. The best time to target Sheepshead is during the cooler months, from late fall through early spring, when they congregate to spawn. They are known for their subtle bite, so using sensitive tackle and paying close attention to your line is crucial. A great access point is the boat ramp at Flagler Beach, giving you access to the ICW and numerous fishing spots. A local tip: Sheepshead are masters at stealing bait, so use small, sharp hooks and check your bait frequently. Fiddler crabs are a local favorite bait, but shrimp and oysters also work well. Focus your efforts around barnacle-covered structures, as this is their primary food source.
