How to Catch Sheepshead With Live Shrimp (Rig, Bait & Setup Tips)

Live shrimp is one of the best baits for sheepshead, especially when fished correctly around jetties, bridges, and structure. In this video, I show a simple but effective live shrimp method for catching sheepshead, including a bait trick that consistently gets bites during the winter and spawning season. 🎣 Topics covered: • How to rig live shrimp for sheepshead • Best hook and sinker setup • Why shrimp heads out-fish whole shrimp • Where this technique works best My Recommended Sheepshead Setup 1. 15 lb monofilament or fluorocarbon main line 2. #1 octopus or J-style hook 3. Slip sinker 4. Knocker rig 5. Live shrimp, broken in half (use the head section) I believe sheepshead mistake shrimp heads for small crabs or sand fleas, which triggers more aggressive bites around structure. #sheepsheadfishing #liveshrimp #jettyfishing #saltwaterfishing 🎣 Filmed at the Venice Jetties in Nokomis, Florida Watch more Venice Jetty fishing videos here →    • Fishing The Venice Jetties in Nokomis, Flo...   🎣 Rad Reeling Merch https://radreeling.com
