| Anybody catching sheepshead on fish bites? Been doing some research and I don't see why not? I would test my theory myself but I live in Hawaii and am living out my sheepshead fishing dreams thru this forum... Pcola Born

| You're in Hawaii and wondering about sheepshead? Something must be wrong with you, usually it's the other way around.

Appreciate the concern but the shore, beach, and pier fishing here on Oahu is weak!  You don't know how good you got it there!! I'm coming home in May (lord willing) and want to pick up where I left off chasing my favorite challenge "SHEEPIES".... Any word on using fish bites?? Pcola-born

I lived in Kailua years ago and you're right, the shore fishing sucks, unless you use a spear!

| Good on ya! Are you using fishbites or gulp crabs too? My thoughts are if there can be found a dependable and durable artificial for sheepsheads then the fishery will catch fire...what do you think? Pcola-born

| I tried the Gulp crabs last year, not much but tired, with no luck. I'll try again and see.

| I saw on an east coast fishing forum that there was guy sweating by bloodworm fishbites for sheepies. The way I figure it, if those east coast sheepsheads will hit it, then the gulf coast sheepies might too... Pcola-born

I have not tried fish bites but I did catch a few on the artificial sand flea. I was actually pomp fishing near the jetties when I caught them.

Artificial sand fleas...which one? Yummee or gulp? Was the natural color (white) more productive than the brown? Just ask'n because I believe if there is a good artificial sub for live bait then we are on to something...  Pcola-born

| I think it was Gulp and it was an off white color. Had to throw out the package because it leaked and dried up, what a smell. I know some people have had luch with a soft plastic arifical tiped with fresh shrimp.

| Thanks for the heads up...did you tip your gulp fleas with anything? I have heard of folks fishing with shrimp tipped jigs catching sheepies by accident...can't wait to try and catch some with those artificial gulp baits Yep, I hear ya on the stink...I have heard alot about those gulp bags leaking. One guy uses his wife's tupperware to store his gulp baits once the package is opened... Pcola-born
