Sheepshead
Don't let Frostproof's inland location fool you; a short drive west puts you within striking distance of some excellent sheepshead fishing along Florida's Gulf Coast. The inshore waters around Charlotte Harbor and Gasparilla Sound are prime locations to target these convict-striped fish. Sheepshead are notorious bait stealers, so use small, sharp hooks and be prepared to lose some bait. Live shrimp or fiddler crabs are your best bet, fished close to structure like docks, pilings, and oyster bars. Winter and early spring are peak season, as sheepshead congregate to spawn. A good spot to try is the Placida T-dock, but it can get crowded. Alternatively, launch a kayak near Stump Pass and explore the mangrove edges. Remember to check the local tide charts, as sheepshead fishing is often best during moving tides.
