Are you looking for one of the most underrated fish to catch? One that fights like crazy, has "human" teeth, can be caught from a small vessel, and tastes better than any intercoastal fish (yes, better than flounder)? Let me introduce you to the sheepshead and how to catch them! In this tip you will find the COMPLETE compendium of the best advice I have for fishing for sheepshead in Morehead City, NC. This includes where and when to find live bait, how to rig your fishing pole and boat, times and depths to fish, and the spots that have produced many a good meal. This advice also applies to fishing structure that produces other good eating fish such as black drum, tautog, Atlantic pufferfish, and black sea bass. I also include videos on how to clean them along with a handful of my favorite recipes. Tight lines!

FishTips is a fishing information platform built to maximize the success of your fishing trips! Connect directly with dialed-in digital fishing guides for hyper-current digital guiding, training, & fishing reports!
FishTips began with fishing guides and top tournament anglers posting tips that were detailed game plans on exactly how they would guide someone. Guides take anglers to fishing spots on every trip, so creating a digital version of a guide trip on FishTips was a natural way for guides to guide, train, and educate even more anglers online. Perhaps their boat broke down, had a bad weather day, or it was the offseason, the FishTips platform attracted hundreds of digital fishing guides that wanted to provide their same high level of customer experience and deep knowledge of their fisheries in a digital format to help even more anglers! As we grew, we received feedback from both digital guides and customers for other types of informative fishing products to help anglers stay up to date on their fisheries or learn new places to fish. We are excited to now offer premium subscription channels for the latest fishing updates and hyper-current fishing reports. FishTips also has training videos for digital guides to share in-depth videos on exactly how they approach a fishery or how they break it down before they even get there.
