heard the sheepshead were being caught at La Jolla. was out today and soaking squid in the kelp, lots of bass and rockfish, but no sheepies in sight. didnt see or hear any from the boats either.

how do you guys target these things?

drop shot fresh dead shrimp.

Use lobster for bait.

just kidding, target them the same way you target rock fish live squid is best. sheepsheads are few and far between so if you hook one up, consider it a winnig lottery ticket.

Sheephead eat straight off the bottom. they like to pick through the rocks. I have always had good success with a carolina rig and cutbait will work well also.

Weird reply. Working today, driving up Bolsa Chica, about to get on the 22 East. Stopped at a light, i see some fish on the side of the road... WTF?!?

5 good size sheeps 5 - 8 lbs & one RF all dumped in a pile on the side of the road, miles from the ocean. I tried to figure out some theories, but I'm stumped.

Anybody like 48 hrs mystery

Some poacher saw the DFG up ahead and thru them out the window last second ditch.

mystery solved.

I'm pretty sure the poacher was Yani. Remeber, you didn't hear it from me.
