Super User everythingthatswims Posted October 24, 2015 Super User Posted October 24, 2015 I went to the Outer Banks with my dad and brother for 3 days back in early October. The weather prevented us from taking the boat in the ocean, so we made the best of what we had to work with. After 3 days, and Lord knows how many fiddler crabs later, we put 47 sheepshead in the boat. Sheepshead fishing is an absolute blast, it's like combining a tiny little drop shot bite with flippin', because once you latch onto one of those guys you better get him away from the pilings! 5 Quote
Super User A-Jay Posted October 24, 2015 Super User Posted October 24, 2015 Way to make the best of it. I did quite a bit of this when I was station in NC - Loved it. And corralling the fiddlers was have the fun. Your description is spot on. Drop Shot'n a fiddler on a meat stick. It's totally addicting and those fish can really PULL ! Congrats A-Jay Quote

Smokinal Posted October 25, 2015 Posted October 25, 2015 Wow, seeing those reminds me of when I lived in Corpus Christi Texas. We lived on the Navy base and would walk the seawall with a gig in hand, holding line in our other hand with a knot around our wrist. We would throw this spear at them as they ate mussels off the bottom of the wall. Once in a while we would even get one! Quote
