Went out to try my luck at Destin Bridge for some Sheepshead. Got out there about 10:00 while there was a slack tide. We ended up going through about 4 dozen live shrimp and only landed 3 decent fish. We had several missed bites and a few wrap-ups. Have'nt mastered the "feel" for them yet. All and all it was worth it I'll try again next weekend.

3 is better than Zero. Heres a trick I use, watch the end of the rod.I usally see it move before i feel the bite.As the end of the rod starts to ever so slightly move, lift up on the rod until you think... you have a bite. Most of the time you will then feel the presence of the sheepshead. Set the hook . Sounds easy, but you went through a couple dozen right? It only took me a full year before I could definitly tell when it was a sheepie. Hope this helps . Good luck

Were you the ones tied up to the wooden planks there in the middle of the bridge? If so, we were fishing near you - We were in the big Sea Hunt CC.

We got more nibbles than anything else. We had planned on fishing offshore, so we didn't have shrimp - just frozen squid and cigar minnows. Maybe that was our problem. :-)
