Sheepshead

Sheepshead are saltwater fish, not found in freshwater lakes like Lake Bridgeport. If you're after Sheepshead in Texas, head to the coast. These fish are common around structures like piers, docks, and jetties. They are known for their subtle bites, so pay close attention to your line. Spring and fall are good times to target them. Fiddler crabs, shrimp, or oysters are excellent bait choices. A light wire hook and a Carolina rig can be effective. Many public piers and jetties offer easy access, but be sure to check local regulations and have a valid fishing license. Sheepshead are excellent table fare, so keeping a few for a meal is a great reward.
