In this episode I tried out a new miniature version of a slip float rig I created specifically for sheepshead fishing to see if it would work. My goal was to figure out a method that would help people catch these tricky fish by giving them a visual indicator (aka a bobber or float) without making the bait so buoyant these subtle biting fish wouldn't be able to pull it under. I've since gone back out with this rig using the tiniest BB size split shot I could find and it helped get the bait down faster and the rig still works.
Again, sorry about the audio in this video. My microphone came unplugged early in the trip so I only had the native GoPro footage to work with which is rough at best. Hopefully the quality of fish on this trip made it worth it!
Thank you all so much for watching, have a great day and remember to make some time for fishing. See you next time!

Great job landing those big Reds on such light tackle! I enjoyed the video!
Thank you!
How did he do that Is more like it . Under all that crap in the water .? Holy Moses.
Wow! Huge Red Fish! Nice black drum as well!
In 1965 my grandmother introduced me to catching sheep head on a cane pole with Barber I became the only sheep headmaster using cane pole and Barbara throughout the years
I've fished that same kayak for a few years and I have to say, your Kayak/Dock management is unrivaled! I am impressed every time.
Thank you! Think I'll put it on my resumé
Dude I was nervous for you on that first red 😂
Gere a crazy idea. Cheap slip float? Bobber stop a clasp swivel. Blow up partially a ballon. Tue it to the clasp. 100 ballons 99 cents. Its a really unique float when it gets hit.
I have seen quite a few kayakers use slip floats for sheepshead. You can get them in different sizes so you could use like a 1/4 oz split shot if you wanted more weight. AWESOME job on the BIG reds keeping them away from structure. CONGRATS on a really fine time fishing.
Phenomenal fish fighting and boat handling! Take good care of those big breeders after boating them- we need to keep them in the gene pool!
Ah the Lifetime Kayak! That thing is worth it's weight in gold. I have an expensive one no where near as sturdy as that thing was tossing a fly around. The only issues I ran into were high winds, broken handles, and you have to watch the plastic on the bottom. It gets thin. Great fishing!
WOW...heart stopping, breath taking action. You Go Boy...great job!!😅
That was some big fish & some good fights!!!
Well done fighting them in such a small area.🎣😎🇬🇧
Thanks!
Great videos. Thank you for keeping them clean
Great work, thank you for sharing
Great video my friend. Love your content. Keep them coming.
A real pleasure to watch your videos. Thanks for introducing me to a new technique. You come across as someone anyone would enjoy being around. Best wishes and a Merry Christmas to you and yours .
Thank you very much Keith, I really appreciate you watching and for your kind words! I hope you enjoy the new technique and that you continue to enjoy the videos! Have a great holiday season!
No way you should’ve boated either one of those fish! Fantastic job! My hats off to you. Sub’ed.
Wow what a awesome day of fishing,your a very skilled angler.great channel
That was awesome!! Great work
Awesome job on those big reds!
Wow that was a giant sheephead and boy can those things fight. Always fun to see that rod doubled over. Phenomenal catches from the kayak.
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it
Awesome video. I would have quit after that first red being so happy. That’s pretty sweet to get that 2nd one right after. Good job! Got me motivated!!!
Good job captain
what a great day! Thse were some very nice Reds!
Thats how i have been fishing for em for years for sheeps head so i could float rocks and oysterbeds in the current
Another great video!! I will for sure be trying that bobber method on sheepshead when I get back down to Georgia! Great content!
Glad you liked it, hope the rig works for you!
Sweet well done sir!
Great video. Audio was just fine. Thanks for posting
Thanks!
Always love finding a saltwater channel like this, new sub right here
Thanks man! Welcome to the channel!
Wow, is right!!!
Great video!
Thanks Richard! Glad you liked it!
I like that slip float rig, I’ll probably try it out.
Those were some huge reds! Good video.
Let me know if it works out for you if you do try it, and thank you!
Definitely a different red! Has a different spot 🙌
YEESSS SIIRRR Those are some DRUMS on the YAK!!!
Nice day of fishing I'm a try um tomorrow keep up the good work
Goodluck buddy thank you!
Great idea 💡😃👍❤️
You are a master at keeping hooked fish out of pilings/structure! I wonder if the guy that owns that dock and Whaler knows how good the fishing is right out his back door off his dock. Great video.
Thank you! I've actually spoken to the owners on a few occasions while out there and they're quite aware of the honey hole their dock sits on! Thanks for watching
World class fight 👏💪my man, good job,
Thank you!
Such a good video I subscribed !!
Your structure work on that class red is awesome! I’m 0 for 8 against bull reds in close to docks, it’s really tough sledding so I can appreciate your finesse bro. Great upload hope to see more PBs too!
Epic man. I cringe every time it gets under those pilings. Good stuff man
nice fish Thanks
I use this rig with weighted floater in the Texas coast to catch sheephead and others on the jetties
Good fishing! New sub.
Good Shit
Kayak combat fishing for sure. How nice would it be to have an Old Town i-pilot !
Nice! New sub here. I'll definitely be trying out the slip bobber. My Dad swears by those things!
Thanks! I hope they work out for you, although if you do you may never hear the end of it from your Dad...
Nice 👍🏽 watching all the way from Saipan, CNMI 🇲🇵
Full support and stay connected. Stay safe
Thanks so much for watching!
@@MakeTimeForFishing you’re welcome and hope you’ll visit mine too. Keep vlogging and fish on 🎣
That's a strike indicator for fly fishing that's why it doesn't support any weight. This is an absolutely awesome idea especially if you could dial it in a little better.
niiiiiiiiiccccccccceeeeeeeeee fish and fights!
Thanks!
Blue crab did it again!! Nice work!
It's getting harder to use it now that the bait thieves are showing up but it can still produce!
Where do u get ur crabs
I get blue crabs at seafood places usually Marvin's in North Charleston
BTW......awesome reds and black drum.
What?! How in the world did you not break off! Nice fish, congratulations!
The fish just cooperated nicely on this trip I got lucky!
Man awesome battling them fish with all them docks. With only a paddle pushing you around l. I deff thought you were going to loose them!
Thanks man! It's always an interesting time out there when the big ones are biting
Yea man a few weeks ago I hooked in to what I thought was a massive black drum around a bridge pillar. When you hook in to a heavy fish you know it a decent size! He broke me off twice running under the bridge pillar..
That's brutal, I've had that happen to me more than a few times. You lift up and it's just dead weight then they start running and there's no slowing them down.
All I keep thinking when I see you battling those huge suckers pulling you in and around those docks/pilings is “get a micro power pole”…lol lol lol..Makes me nervous too lol lol
Haha if only, that would definitely save me a lot of trouble!
What bait do you use? Loved the video btw man, keep up the good vids!
Thanks! I use either mud crabs or fiddler crabs depending on whether I have time to catch my own (mud crabs) or I have to buy them (fiddlers).
Oddly I just started using floats and I love it
That's funny, they work if balanced correctly!
@@MakeTimeForFishing I have ones that clip on the line so no stopper needed but I guess casting would get unwieldy if you had it set too deep, by the way those were two different reds IMO
Oh nice yeah that'd be more practical for a reasonable depth haha and yeah I think so too. 2nd one was fatter also
Where do you picking a small crab for bait
Caught my first sheepshead ever on a pier fishing with one
That black drum had a chuck bit out of his dorsal fin, eh?
Maybe don't use an ultra light setup for red fishing lol but you did handle them like a pro, good job
Always great content. Well done and nice drum!
Started following you because of the Tamarack kayak. :-) That's my fishing vessel too! You mentioned your cooler (and before as well). What size do you have? I'm guessing it fits within the milk crate?
Thank you! Yes it fits perfectly in my milk crate with enough room for a tackle tray as well. It's a Coleman 30 can soft cooler. Here's the link to the exact one if you're curious about the dimensions: www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B006HFBF7E?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_asin_image
@@MakeTimeForFishing Thanks! I keep a Coleman 16 can between my crate and seat. It's great for my waters, soft plastics, and snacks. Not so much for fish unless it's some freshwater crappie, bass, or sunfish though. Going to definitely invest in an upgrade and will use the link here when I do. Thanks again!
@@MakeTimeForFishing hope your vacation is going well. Just wanted to say I did order that cooler and it held my first ever redfish just fine. 21”. Pretty sure it can hold a full 27” red. 😁
Awesome man and congrats on the redfish dinner! I've put 2 x 23" reds in mine just fine so I'm sure a 27" would fit! Glad it's working out for you
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Just moved here about 6 months ago. Been bass fishing on the Ashley by HHJ in my yak. If you want to meat up and fish let me know.
Hey very curious where do u get ur blue crabs I need some for bait
Seafood markets usually if I'm getting yhem live, or frozen at the bait shop. Usually marvins seafood has them in live
What state are you fishing?
A W E S O M E!!!
Is the power knob worth it
I sure think so! Only $15 or $20 and it's much more comfortable to reel with in my opinion
Great vid and what did u use for bait
Thanks Nick! I was using fiddler crabs on this trip
@@MakeTimeForFishing thank you so much
Omg
Black drum world record was caught in Delaware. 131lbs. Come up for a visit when the season is in full swing.
Man I wouldn't know what to do, I'd think I hooked a whale or something! Definitely want to check out your fishery up there sometime!
Hey bud where can I find these bobbers online? Can’t find any similar 😭
Hey man, not 100% sure these are exactly the same but they look identical to these: www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0010FBVGQ?ie=UTF8
I think the name Black Drum is a turnoff from keeping them . I have eaten several Saltwater Species. The Black Drum was way better tasting than Red Snapper certainly better than Trout and Redfish . The only 1 i ever caught was the size of the 1st you caught . all it needed was butter . no salt, butter has plenty of salt for most fish. some green onion and a little mayonause mixed with sour creme . and of course a little lemon juice.
Some peeople call it poor mans Lobster. But They Never ate a Lobster evidently.
That’s the biggest black drum I’ve seen around here
Basically it’s a bluegill freshwater rig
Do you still use or recommend the bellaire jigs for sheepshead? I usually use bottom sweepers but man are they expensive. Are the sheep sticker jigs a good alternative?
Oh yeah I definitely still use them! I get the same results as with jigs like the bottom sweeper but they're much much cheaper. Used them a bunch in my recent videos!
@@MakeTimeForFishing awesome thank you! Just got 15 of them yesterday going to test them out today
Nice man goodluck!
@@MakeTimeForFishing oh yea my new go to for sure, caught a ton of sheepshead and a nice 30.5 inch black drum last night
That's awesome man! Huge black drum btw! Bet the guys at Bellaire would love to see it if you took any pictures
Are you in charleston?
Yes I am!
Do you catch your own crabs and freeze them? If you buy them, would you mind sharing where you get them?
I don't catch my own blue crabs no I usually get them live at a seafood market and use them same day and freeze the less. Or I buy them already frozen at the bait shop
What brand slip float is that? From Haddrells?
I actually got them from a Walmart in Colorado. Not sure of the name brand as they're just a generic foam peg bobber but they're meant for freshwater trout fishing If that helps. Really just match the weight you use to the bobber so it barely floats with the rig.
@@MakeTimeForFishing Thanks for the info. I checked and the cheapie generic ones from Haddrells with the slit have bored out pegs. They will work! Trying to make it easier to get my 7 yo on a sheepshead! Hope to see you out there. We live nearby these spots. Keep up the great work!
There is one thing I do not like about your videos. After watching I have to ask the good Lord to forgive me for being jealous. Great video as usual
Haha I'm sorry to do that to you but glad you enjoyed it!
@@MakeTimeForFishing video was okay, mostly hands and line and pole like most other anglers do on video. The 10 seconds where I got to c you (in the several videos I viewed) you NEVER CHANGE what ur wearing ! LOL
What state is this in, may I ask?
This is in South Carolina!
All I wanna know is where are you fish at?
Awesome new 2 your channel what state are you in
Welcome to the channel! And I'm in Charleston, South Carolina
Common slip bobber rig.
When I was really young my grandmother taught me to fish with a cane pole like this for sheepshead
That's so cool, I'm sure that's a great memory for you!
@@MakeTimeForFishing yes absolutely, some of my earliest memories are fishing with her.
Where's is this?
Charleston, SC
That sounded like your Bale wasn`t locked down and it let line out . Not the same Fish the black dot marking on first Fish is looking down the second Fish his marking is pointed back . Enjoyed it as always .
Sorry to say man lol but I made up this rig a year ago and tried lots of variations too
Hope it worked out for you, too!
What is a PB ?
It stands for "personal best".
