Sheepshead
If you're targeting sheepshead in the Perry, Florida area, you're in for a treat. This part of the Big Bend offers access to productive inshore waters and structures perfect for these convict-striped fish. Focus your efforts around docks, bridges, and oyster bars in the coastal creeks and nearshore areas. The best time to target sheepshead here is during the cooler months, from late fall through early spring, when they congregate to spawn. They love structure, so a fiddler crab or shrimp fished close to pilings or submerged timber is your best bet. A local tip: the Steinhatchee River mouth and the areas around Keaton Beach are known sheepshead hotspots. Be prepared for a subtle bite – they're notorious bait stealers! Remember to use light wire hooks to avoid getting snagged on the structure they prefer.
