Sheepshead
Sheepshead fishing in Palm Beach Shores can be a rewarding experience, particularly if you enjoy targeting these structure-loving fish. Focus your efforts around docks, bridges, and rock piles inshore and nearshore. The best time to target sheepshead is during the cooler months, from late fall through early spring, when they spawn. Barnacles are a sheepshead's favorite food, so scraping them off pilings and using them as bait is a local trick that works wonders. Alternatively, fiddler crabs or shrimp work well. The trick is to use a small, sharp hook and a light leader to detect their subtle bites. The area around the Peanut Island bridge and the docks along the Intracoastal Waterway are prime spots. Be patient and persistent, and you'll be rewarded with some tasty sheepshead fillets.
