so here we are at my third Bridge of the
day to stop at and fish this is going to
be my last stop since I only had about 2
and 1/2 hours left of daylight so I'm
getting unloaded here the previous two
stops I'd caught one puppy drum zero
sheep's head dropping life fiddler crabs
we'd got a lot of rain the previous 48
hours so the water salinity was really
low everywhere I had gone but this
location is right on the inter Coastal
and the water was pretty salty here so
my hopes were high and I thought I had a
good shot at getting into some
fish start right
here this
double man that's a lot of current
though I don't know if my line will be
able to stay down with the bite being so
dead everywhere I'd been previously I
decided that chumming with some oysters
right off the bat was a
must
all right let's go
again
go how am I missing this my
gosh this is like the most evasive
sheep's head in
history there we go got
it there we go a
got a little mini sheep little baby I
he's probably keeper size but ouch stop
it there we go all right little bitty
guy that's what's been stealing my
freaking all right
see yep he is
he's about 13 so yeah we're g to let him
go at least I caught the
sucker all right we know there's some
sheeps
here nice oyster in the
face there we go got him
all right that's keeper maybe
maybe kind of small stop it damn
it
ow there we go all right let's see yeah
he's 14 we're not going to keep him he's
kind of little all right guys little 14
in we're going to let him go too
so all right guys I think we're finally
on them this is my third different
bridge to fish today
so there we go that's a good
one that's a good one
yep that's a definite keeper there got
him all
right
yes definite keeper
there all right this is sheep's head
that is going back to
Oklahoma
yep ah little
dink little
dink come on open up and I'll let you go
all right dude you're going to be a
butthead there we go all
right all right well at least we're on
them now at least we're finding
them all right I catch another keeper
I'm going to run over and uh knock some
Barnacles off for Brock and Kade Brock
and Cade were over fishing off of the
old bridge that they've turned into a
fishing pier on the other side there
they were struggling catching some fish
so I was going to go over in the kayak
and knock some oysters off and Chum for
them but I also wanted to make sure they
saw every time I caught one just got to
be patient sometimes sometimes it takes
them a while to sniff out these oysters
that you knocked
off
there we
go got a decent one this
time all right another
keeper oh yeah definite perfect keeper
size not too big not too
little let's
go uh special thanks to my big brother
Allen his gift card got me this new Rod
I got from my sheep had set up here so
thanks for the gift card
Allan got
him
oh um he might be a little
small yep he's a little small I mean
he's
legal 100%
but all right we'll let him go he's good
decent but
not not what we are looking
for oh damn
it lost a good one there
should have set the hook harder should
have set the hook
harder there we go all
right yeah there we
go
all right we'll keep this guy too make
this the last one we
keep
all right guys uh of course I'm using uh
frisky fin knocker jigs uh but this
dirty water is allowing me to use a
heavier leader so I can tighten my drag
up a little bit and uh don't have to
play the fish as much these sheep's head
are usually pretty leader shy but when
the water's dirty like this you can get
away with 20 easy I've even gone as
heavy as 25
before oh
yeah oh it's a good
one
woo
oh
it's a
20 oh
yeah oh God dang it don't fend me these
guys got daggers for
Fins all right another nice one guys
another nice
one all right you're in no escaping
now I'd say the new pole is a success I
like it I like the bend in it you want a
lot of Bend in your sheep's head Rod
because you want that to act as
partially as your
drag because you're using a light leader
but a lot most times you're in heavy
structure so you can't have your drag
real loose so the sheep's head oh that
was a bite oh gosh uh the sheep's head
don't like to go on long runs but they
dig they like that so if you've got a
rod that's got a lot of flex to it then
that's going to absorb a lot of those
when they when they uh dig like that
kind of counteract the Titan drag with
light oh is there one on
there huh that was weird but it helps a
lot if you got a real stiff Rod you're
going to break off a
lot all right come
on
what okay let me hook one more real
quick got
him
oh yeah that's a good one another good
one pulling some
drag
wo
oh oh
yeah
Brock you guys want
one
what do you want a
sheep so being the nice guy that I am I
decided to take pity on Brock and Cade
and uh brought them over sheep's
head what you trying to do oh
man you want to go
in
I'm gonna pull Brock in there you can
have it okay that's that's
the say
