Local Species Insights: Sheepshead
Sheepshead are distinctive fish with their black and white vertical stripes and human-like teeth designed for crushing barnacles, crabs, and other shellfish. They're typically found around structures like docks, pilings, bridges, and oyster beds where they feed on crustaceans. While they can be challenging to hook due to their light, subtle bite, the reward is well worth the effort. Captain Lance specializes in the techniques required for consistently catching these crafty fish, including proper bait presentation and the delicate touch needed to detect their bite. In Wanchese waters, sheepshead can be caught year-round but tend to be most accessible during the warmer months when they move into shallower waters.
