this is the strangest tip for catching sheepshead i have ever heard of what do you think a fisherman from florida says he catches more sheepies than anyone else using this method he buys orange jump ropes (plastic or vinyl hollow kind) and cuts them into 1/2 inch pieces before putting his bait on (he uses fresh shrimp) he threads a piece of the jump rope over the hook then baits up he claims the fish, while eating the shrimp, feels the tough piece of jump rope and continues to feed thinking the jump rope is food he claims most of the time you don't even have to set your hook they hook themselves sounds crazy but who knows...........[crazy]

well that certainly is one of the craziest things I have ever herd of, but it sounds like it could work. Personally I haven't had the best luck using shrimp for the sheepshead. I get most of my bites when using any type of shell fish. but that's just me, does anyone else have a fovorite sheepshead bait?

LOL, I bet you will. Maybe you'll get a chance to hit the water with me out on the reef this year. I'll see if I can't put you on some sheephead action. [cool]
