GAME OVER - Sheepshead Master Class

Mid to Late Summer is prime time for Sheepshead action here in the Carolinas. Rain days make for fun fishing because they provide cooler temps and less boat traffic. Sea Urchins and Mud Crabs are excellent bait to target these tasty fish. To me, Sea Urchins are by far the best bait for this time of year. Let me know what you think about that! Sheepshead freeze well so don't be bashful about catching your 10 fish limit (North Carolina) to enjoy later. Get out there and be somebody!

Fresh bait matters. Catch Urchins on Bridge Pilings and Mud Crabs under "stuff", below the high tide line (Wear Gloves, oyster cuts are nasty). The purple crabs with spots and striped legs are stone crabs and are illegal to possess.
