This guy is apparently calling him out but we all watched other videos with people catching sheephead on worms. I don't fish them but I watched a guy catch 3 on Red worms. They might prefer crabs shrimp etc but they do eat red worms. So his MythBusters theory is bogus.
Was about to say. Fishing against what I would say is an open ocean wall in S Fla vs inshore flats and bays where others have had success with red worms are two different methods of fishing. Where others have had success with the red worms may mimic some sort of sea worm the sheepshead see and utilize as food vs here where it is foreign and crabs and shrimp are the main forage. All this video proves is that red worms don’t work in this area.
use NIGHTcrawlers next-time, they're much larger. Redworms are smaller species mainly for panfish and trout. Yes, depending on the fish, it does make a difference.
It’s trial and error with saltwater. One days is great the next it can suck lol. It doesn’t matter what you use buddy I’m a faithful Rad Reeling fan!! You could go out a not catch anything and I’ll support you and your channel! It’s always extra when your killing it. Your videos make my day week month. It’s funny because when I go fishing I have your videos in the back of my mind JC. Sometimes I tell myself I’m doing something wrong because I’m not landing fish like you do. Then other times I say damn I wish I could show JC how the fish has been tonight 😂. So yeah I’m a faithful subscriber JC!!! Lol
Interesting video JC 👍. I know you have touched on this before, but how about a deep dive instructional video on artificial shrimp? Specifically DOA would be nice. The different rigs you use and how you fish them would be a great topic while we are waiting on the Pomps to fire up!!! I watched you smashing some snook with these baits, so I know you have the know how …. Also rigs for surf fishing vs jetties and the passes with DOA?
I have my reservations on how well they might work but if I had to put a guess why they wouldn't work I'd say maybe the clear water could have something to do with it
wtg. Brother ,nothing like crabs for keeper sheepers....I'm watching this video while having MY Dinner of sheepshead I caught from my yak today Love Love catching sheepshead. Tight Lines Brother.
Thanks for trying and showing it not working for you. I'm going to give it a try in the brackish water near me and see if the results are any different.
It's Probably South Florida sheepshead have more crabs to eat and just prefer them over worms but I'm glad you did this. I was going to try myself but I'll stick to the crabs and shrimp nice job brother always entertaining🍻
I gave it a try. In Tampa bay. Notta. Interestingly after 20 min on the hook, that first worm was still alive. I put it back in the dirt and down it went. But no takers as far as sheepers go.
Since you tried the myth of worms & sheepshead, I have a couple of ideas to try (perhaps even a couple videos too). The first one is that could there be any saltwater fish that would go for a worm? The second one (it's a bit disgusting) is could cockroaches get sheepshead since I have heard they have proteins similar to shrimp? Might be worth trying out!
1 your control is totally different! The guy was fishing tidal river water and you're fishing tidal ocean water! Fish will eat differently in differently waters! I know in the back water bayou and rivers they will eat worms of sorts!
I was thinking the same thing that if it was back in the Estuaries let's just say Indian River It might work where there is a mixture of fresh and salt water.
To be fair I have went sheephead fishing with large shrimp and fiddler crabs and sometimes they would only hit one of the two I've had days they wouldn't touch the live shrimp but they would hit the Fiddlers and vice versa
I think, just like Snapper, when they are in thick you can pretty much throw anything and they'll bite. Try in areas where the bite is slow, crabs will win every time
Me and a buddy went bluegill fishing in the st John's river. Caught four bluegill and then covered them with Sheepshead at the same dock and spot. That was in the early 90s. Just saying.
Are bread allowed in your country? My country uses weird bait like bread, pancake, cake, immitation crab and just basically anything that we eat weird enough the fish actually eat it.
There's not many fish that won't eat a worm even if it's not in their native food chain.Fish have moods and sometimes they don't want a certain food.Like some days a Sheepshead doesn't want a crab but will hit a barnacle,this was just a day they didn't want a worm. You need to fish them more than once to get a actual conclusion. I'd get a length of rope and tie it to the back of the Yak so when you're around those poles again you can tie off to them.When tied off you won't have to keep fighting with current,fish,wind,etc. A velcro strap with a D ring would be perfect.Take a carabiner and attach it to the rope then attach that to the D ring and you have a way to unhook it kind of quick if need be.
Thanks for the tips and for watching the video. That marina is private property, but the Fl water is public as long as I don't anchor while I'm inside.
They work. I have been using night crawlers for them for years pink worms work too. I can’t tell a difference. He was acting like a 16” sheep was big. That’s a cull fish most times for me. Catch many fish in the 20-24” range. Oysters work too.
PSA, went mudd crab hunting on a low tide last week and found plenty. But also tripped on a rock and slice my thumb to the bone smh. Be careful people and wear some thick gloves. Don’t be naive like me lol oyster are extremely sharp
Red worms do catch sheephead maybe not as well as crabs shrimp etc but this mythbusters conclusion is bogus. I have watched other videos and you can tell their legit. Not to mention I watched a guy in person catch 3 huge sheephead. I don't fish for them but yeah. Not trying to sound jerky but I would say a much more time indepth study would be needed but no need because they in fact do eat red worms.
I’ve caught em on worms in some places and others won’t touch em. More would than wouldn’t for sure. Night crawlers worked really good for us as well but fiddle worms were money on top of money.
We also kept our worms off the bottom and up against the structure for the best results. Red worms don’t have the smell like a night crawler or fiddle worm.
Red worms + sheepshead = no fish, myth busted! Conclusion: Worms work great if you're fishing for bream and crappie. Sheepshead? Uh, that's a negative! Stick with the mud crabs brother, automatic win lol!! Great video JC 😁👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
So Rad why didn’t you give the other tuber a shout out man. Y’all guys are ruthless when y’all comes to gather views. Share the love if he gives you the idea 😮😂 just saying
Fishing with Live shrimp is like using Kobe Beef to fertilize corn. haha who does that? I do that's who... I tried the redworms and caught no Sheeps. Red worms belong in the ground, not in the ocean. Goofy guy out fishing in the middle of the ocean with red worms!!!!! nope.
Maybe the waves are coming from the Ocean . Where did you get that minnow pole at Pep Boys ? I wouldn’t need that Chinese junk you float around in either , looks to me you could walk around there and catch fish .
I used worms after watching his video and caught my PB Sheepshead at 23” so it definitely worked for me
Southern Salt kills with worms. Captain Collier also.
This guy is apparently calling him out but we all watched other videos with people catching sheephead on worms. I don't fish them but I watched a guy catch 3 on Red worms. They might prefer crabs shrimp etc but they do eat red worms. So his MythBusters theory is bogus.
I don't think he called anyone out, but I'd love to see them both fish together one day. Both are bad ass anglers!
Yeah this guy is full of it, I've killed it with nightcrawlers even as far south as ft Myers, for this guy to say myth busted is just ignorant.
They can live in under water for 9+days
Thanks for clearing this up!!! Love Rad Reeling Fishing… it’s RAD!

I was thinking he must have a freezer full of fish, because you were not keeping any in the video. And then you have a catch, clean and cook....Nice!
Great looking meal JC, Here in North Carolina They don't like the worms either....
Crazy I fished that spot and got nothing on shrimp. Going to try again once the wind dies down. Love the video
It would be great if you tried vudu crab when the hot bite was on! Would love to see if it’s actually attract sheepshead.
use NIGHTcrawlers next-time, they're much larger. Redworms are smaller species mainly for panfish and trout. Yes, depending on the fish, it does make a difference.
That was a great video JC! It was a lot of fun to watch.
Stay safe out there brother!
Luv ur style my brother. The latin anglers luv u r video 📹 keep them coming buddy 🎣🎣🎣
I agree with some of the comments about the salinity being different, in Louisiana they catch bass and trout in the same creeks
Nice Vid catching world class sheep’s. Keep up the good work.

Hey jc great vid as always how's the new truck treating you.
All good
Thanks for your input !
This definitely surprised me, for I have caught several types of saltwater fish on worms and nightcrawlers.
Nice JC !!!! Man ... I really want to try these kayaks .... nice !!! .... maybe one day
Maybe the ones up in Alabama are more brackish water and used to worms as well?
Goodto see you back! When will you start fishing the jetty again
This was my experience as well. The red worms did not compare to using barnacles.

I gotta try this. Great vid!
Thank you for doing this video bro..I've used worms before and they just don't work...here in Florida anyway

I am going to Tampa this weekend and I am hoping to go catch some sheepshead! can you share a good spot where I can catch these? thank you
Try to find areas away from red tide. Maybe check with the bait shop.
The secret bait for Sheepshead is large palmetto bugs if you're good at Gathering them you will catch Sheepshead right away

JC what are some good shoes for the water/ wading
Trying to find blood worms as a teenager with no luck. Always wondered if freshwater worms worked. Never tried it. Now I know. Thanks.

Barnacles versus mud crabs, your next adventure

Awesome stuff dude
I liked the video before watching it. Will try it on sunday

Went ahead n tried the worms on Tues here in Galveston tx no luck as soon as i put live shrimp it was onnnn!!
Man I need some lessons on where to go in Galveston I just got a yak but still fish like I’m from the shore 😂
Great test! Will you go back and try with nightcrawlers instead of red worms?
I used nightcrawlers last week and was getting skunked until I changed the game plan to the oysters I cracked off the side of the pylon caught 5 str8
What kind of hooks do use for sheepshead
# 1or #2
@@RadReelingFishing what band and type are they j hooks
@@fordrich2970 Owner brand octopus j-hooks are the best for Sheepshead.
nomad vertrex vibe catch them over 20" every time 🤙
Where do you get your crabs from
flip rocks on low tide
We use crab here in N,Fla. for the Biggins ! Big heads,not much filet. Big Flounder much better ,use white Gulp squiggly tails !
Nice video. The other guy was using whole night crawlers

This would be an absolute game changer!!! Worms are cheap to buy and free to find your own!!! To be able to catch delicious sheepers is incredible!!!
I commented before watching the video lol. Apparently it's NOT a game changer 😔
Watch saying that to load our overlords will require a license next to catch our own free worms, just saying !

J C they need to be nightcrawlers the biggest worm species, and they stay alive longer than those small red wigglers.
It's def not a Myth. I've seen it done. ✊🏾✊🏾
I think I saw the same video but the guy was using nightcrawlers. That's different from the red worm.
They are all just earth worms...You should try nightcrawlers and let me know how that works? Thanks for watching.

I don’t think the worms (red worms) you are using are same as “earth worms”. Also like any fishing, different days,different results. Just sayin.
Florida, leave the redworms home. In Mississippi, bring an entire flat!! Got it!
Motion picture 😂
Happy fishing 🎣 Thursday JC always enjoy your fishing videos my friend 🎣💛✌🏼
Bait shop 21 miles to the south has fiddlers. Not free like mud crabs. Maybe show off your fiddler storage bucket again.
All this video shows is that Sheepshead don’t like RedWorms. Southern Salt and Capt. Collier used NIGHTCRAWLERS and put a whooping the Sheephead.
Yup
Love the video. Can you try another one using the big nightcrawlers?
I would like the other guy do another video and bust the myth you just started now lol
They actually do work. Not a myth
Operator error 😂
So Rad why didn’t you give the other tuber a shout out man. Y’all guys are ruthless when y’all comes to gather views. Share the love if he gives you the idea 😮😂 just saying

Earthworm's r a lot bigger than redworms' Im thanking big worms
Myth busters got nothing on you JC! 🙌🙌🤙
You are in clear water but you need to be in not clear water
Thats pretty typical. Its not a natural prey for ANY saltwater fish. Thats like using mud crabs for bait on crappie…."it aint gonna work!🤣
