Sheepshead
If you're targeting sheepshead in the Green Cove Springs area, you'll want to focus your efforts around the many docks, pilings, and submerged structures along the St. Johns River and its tributaries. These fish are notorious for their bait-stealing abilities, so a sharp hook and a patient approach are key. The best time to target them is during the cooler months, from late fall through early spring, when they congregate to spawn. Fiddler crabs are a local favorite bait, but shrimp and oysters also work well. A great access point is the pier at Spring Park, but be prepared for company – it's a popular spot! Sheepshead here tend to run a decent size, with many fish exceeding 5 pounds, so be sure to use tackle that can handle a good fight. Remember to check the local regulations as they can change frequently.
