re: Catching Sheephead

A small treble hook 8-10 inches above a 1oz drop sinker, fished tightline, is my ticket for sheepshead. Any slack in the line between you and the bait and it's hard to feel the bite. Set the hook for any nibble. They are the very best bait thieves that swim. They often stack up on structure right offshore in the early spring/late winter months.
My rule of thumb on black drum is go by the stripes. If they've lost the stripes completely I release them. If they still have the stripes I keep them (assuming legal size of course).

I can tell you where to catch them anywhere but Louisiana. Ask at local tackle shop where you buy live shrimp. They love old wooden barnacle covered poles. The guy with the search and destroy plan has it down to an art. Once you find them you will load up.
i caught two of the damn biggest black drums of my life last year, both over 40 pounds accidentally, one could have been 50.
If they are over 10 pounds throw them back
