With water temps dropping below 60 degrees the snook and redfish bite has slowed a bit.However, the sheephead continue to chew even on the coldest of days. {%image_id=8046%}{%image_id=8045%}{%image_id=8043%} Sheephead are in their winter time spawn and can be found indeep cuts,around bridges and on the flats hunkered up around any type of structure. {%image_id=8044%}{%image_id=8041%} If fishing Tampa Bay, try fishing the cuts around Miguel.The flats at Piney Point or the ''Broken Bridge'' up the Little Manattee River. {%image_id=8040%}{%image_id=8039%} Baits of choice include: shrimp, fiddlers, barnacles or Asian muscles.Try using a 1/0 hook and some split shot or a 1/8 oz. jig. If your fishing around structure a rod with a little back bone is necessary.Captains choice is a EUPRO Diamond, it never fails to get the job done. {%image_id=8042%}{%image_id=8038%} I dedicate this report to the "sheephead destroyer" /" snook master "Sean Rice jr. AKA "Ogie"! This young man is feared by all sheephead and truly has the nack for boating goats! Young Sean is a proud member of O'Briens REEL SIMPLE fishing club.
