Sheepshead
Edgewater, Florida, offers great sheepshead fishing opportunities in the brackish waters surrounding the town. The Indian River Lagoon and its numerous docks, bridges, and oyster bars provide ideal habitat for these striped bandits. Sheepshead are most active during the cooler months, from late fall through early spring, when they congregate to spawn. They are notoriously finicky eaters, so a delicate presentation is key. Fiddler crabs are the bait of choice, but live shrimp or small pieces of oyster can also be effective. Fish around structure, dropping your bait as close as possible to pilings and other submerged objects. A light wire hook is recommended to avoid getting snagged. The bridges crossing the Indian River Lagoon near Edgewater are popular spots, but be mindful of boat traffic. A small boat or kayak is ideal for navigating the shallow waters and accessing prime sheepshead territory.
