Sheepshead Spawn in Port Royal Sound

Lots of folks in the Beaufort area have been targeting Sheepshead the last several weeks. The bigger fish are in the sound spawning, and are being taken off the bridges and other piling structure. Fiddler crabs are a good bait, but a local tells me oysters are really the secret bait of choice. Drop them to the bottom, and slowly lift a foot or two. If you feel any resistance at all, set the hook. These fish are very light biters, and can be tough to catch. They also are excellent table fare, and put up a great fight on the line.
