This Easy To Get FREE Bait Is A Sheepshead Magnet

- This New Free bait catches Monster Sheepshead. In this video I'm using what I believe to be the most readily available and best bait for Sheepshead fishing.
About a year ago I saw a guy at the pier using barnacles as chum. Once he had attracted a bunch of fish to the food he'd drop a single barnacle on a very small hook into the middle of the feeding frenzy. He limited out in about thirty minutes. So for a year I've been wanting to try his technique. To my surprise it's the easiest free bait to get and Sheepshead love them.

My cousin uses crickets. He says they look just like barnacles.👍
Refreshing to see someone point out that not all your tools need to break the bank. Great video!
JC ,
Your youthful talk makes your video so fun to watch, thanks for sharing a great day of fishing!! Million Likes brother!!
I might suggest a 6’10 heavy fast rod. Little less flex but it will pull them away from the Pilings before they wrap you and snap you maybe moderate-fast action but less flex equals more control after the hook set
I love your sheepshead videos. You always seem to show us something new as well. Thanks for the tip on the tool to use.
Can’t beat barnacles! Nonstop action awesome video JC!!
All the goodies for fish are where the fish live
The best bait shop !
Caught my first Sheepshead last week using shrimp in St Pete. So exciting! Have to try barnacles!!
We used barnacles for chum back in the early 70's and oysters for bait to catch Convicts. We had a train trestle that ran over a flat with oyster bars at low tide was shallow enough to scrap the barnacles off the trestles and get enough oysters to last a day. made for some nasty and messy fishing but it was free bait.
fiddler crabs were the bait of choice most of the time.
Here in NW Florida, the oysters (in a spawn bag) are the ticket!
Keeper Sheeper! Planning to go after them in March!
Barnacles are excellent bait fish with what they eat!
This is awesome. I hope to catch my first sheep sometime next year once I finish my gheenoe. Great video.
Great video bro...love the sweeper vids
Great video man , really enjoyed this episode 🙌🏾
Keeper Sheepers babyyy 😎😁👍
Awesome video JC. Interesting using the barnacles. I may have to try that. I'm whacking trout and ladyfish - got 6 trout and 7 ladies this morning out of the kayak; lost a couple more trout and another 7 or 8 ladies - all on a 1/4 oz DOA swim jig. Those ladyfish are just insane the way they hit and fight.
I’m the first one to watch it lol
Young bucks can teach us the ways too 😂. Nice!
🤘🏻😎🤘🏻
Awesome stuff dude
Nice vibe, nice fish
Nice day out
Good video guys keep it up
Heading back to my FL home in a week. Can you buy Barnacles at bait shops?
JC, you always say… the tug is the drug. Great video!
Zebco has never failed me and has given me great catches! I love Zebco. and they CARE about us, customers on social media.
Nice!
Good video!
I'm thinking about a pedal drive yak. I have so many spots this would work out great for.
Missed my midnight donkey tonight. Big girl rod was working hard tonight. 1st 10 inch mullet in the water and she inhaled it.
I have a question about mono. Do you think clear blue/fluorescent is fine to use instead of clear mono for the leader?
I have no idea.
Awesome JC! Not sure if you remember me. You shared a couple pompano jigs with me. Hit me up when you’re ready to bring a subscriber out. I learn so much from you..
Is that a 2 piece rod . I am in UK so they not available here . Would a 2 piece G2 Ugly stick take as much punishment as a One piece . " piece ugly stick is available in UK. Love your channel . I live in the wrong place ! .
Man you are wearing them sheepshead’s out I was wondering what exactly is a barnacle?
JC. Since you’re an sheepshead expert. #2 J hook or 1/0 circle hook for the best result? Thank you! Love all your videos
I use a #1 octopus j-hook mostly
When is the best time to get some mud crabs? Early in the morning or could you even do it later in the evening? Which is your preference
The lowest of the low tides. Most places that have rocks aren't very accessible on tides other than low.
Can you freeze sheep head vacuum seal??
Sure
@@RadReelingFishing 🤙awsome appreciate it!
Hey rad how about the cranka crab
Sure, try it.
😂 50 years ago! Damn I wished I knew then what you know now. Hey No offense 🙄 !!!
What boat is that? Where is the old town?
That's my Old Town Predator PDL 132
Is this in florida?
Yes
Hi JC …what pdl kayak were you using
Predator PDL which is now the Big Water 132 PDL from Old Town.
What brand hooks do you use?
Owner, but I do have some off brand from Amazon that work pretty good. amzn.to/3YM45KM The #1 or #2 is fine
You should try hotdogs…. Another secret bait
I guess it ain't a secret anymore 😂 I outfish guys using crabs and shrimp all day. My technique is to drop it down the piling when they are finicky
Should've made tacos out of them!
How do yall eat them?? They stink when you clean them and turn me off of eating em I guess fried is the best way but what's your preference? I think florida just spoils me with snappers I have no reason to want to eat sheepshead
My favorite way to eat them is pan seared in olive oil then finished off with garlic, butter and lemon.
Why must you use gloves to keep you out of the hospital? Is it because of the sharp shells and rocks?

Catching sheepshead from land is never this easy 😔
Honestly dude, if you find where the fish are you’ll have just as a good time if you were on kayak/boat. Go out and find them!!!
Bridges dude! My dad outfished many that were on boats just by going to different bridges. Unfortunately he never took me fishing for sheepshead cuz reasons. I'm moving back to Florida after watching a lot of this guy's videos. I am now a sheepshead master just cuz I watched his videos lol or at least feels like it haha
Why in Gods name would you put out the barnacle secret. Not cool dude, limited amounts of fish out there, let them use shrimp and crabs.
Between magazines, strike lines, and crazy electronics, the fish have a hard enough time as it is
Thanks for commenting. It's no secret. Just search TH-cam for "catching sheepshead with barnacles." I've known for ten years that people catch Sheepshead on barnacles, I've just only fished with them once though...Thanks for watching.
stop torturing fish if you won't eat them
what?
Destroying nature's habitats to catch fish and promoting that act in videos I find distasteful. Just use real bait. You and Joshua Taylor and Saltstrong have made similar videos, promoting this destruction. Bad bad bad Thumbs down
Where do you think "real bait" comes from you twat.
You also misspelled your last name wrong, you put an "O" instead of an "A".
It's a common practice. It's not like this is some great secret, people have been doing it for as long as there have been barnacles and sheepshead. Barnacles ARE real bait. Why not whine about fiddler crabs? Mud crabs? Shrimp?
Seriously?
Barnacles are real natural bait. No chemicals, no plastic. Don't mean to be critical but, that was a contradictory statement.
This SteveO dolt thinks you're going to wipe out the barnacle population... LMAO@SteveO daDolt.
