This year, I got a bit smarter. Instead of fishing for one target species, sheepshead, at the same time, I could fish for flounder and other good species.
Drifting after the bait hits the bottom has been making a huge difference. Somehow I managed catch flounder, 3 out of 3 sheepshead fishing trips. I caught flounder last two times because my bait was shrimp. This time, I added a 4" soft plastic minnow to the fish-finder rig.
With shrimp and the soft plastic bait on the rig, I managed to catch another nice flounder at 23" when none of us (9 kayakers and 7 boaters) got skunked when fishing with fiddler crab for sheepshead.
Here is the fishing log.
Thanks
