Sheepshead
Looking to tangle with some sheepshead near Pinecrest, Florida? Biscayne Bay is your playground. These striped bandits are plentiful around docks, bridges, and mangrove shorelines. Their diet consists mainly of crustaceans, so areas with barnacle-covered structures are prime real estate. Winter and early spring are particularly good times to target them, as they congregate to spawn. A light to medium action rod with a sensitive tip is ideal, as sheepshead are notorious for their subtle bites. For access, Matheson Hammock Park offers great shoreline fishing and kayak launching. Black Point Marina is another excellent option for boaters. Local tip: Use fiddler crabs or shrimp as bait, and be sure to set the hook quickly! Sheepshead have bony mouths, and a sharp, small circle hook can greatly improve your hookup ratio. Also, be mindful of the tides; an incoming tide often brings better fishing.
