How to Catch Sheepshead on the Fly!

I know that this video it titled "How to" but this is more of a "How I' type of video. Obviously, there is not only one way to catch a fish. This is just how I've been doing it.
We've spent the last month on the Texas coast. After a week or so of catching reds and black drum, I set my sights on sheepshead and pretty quickly figured out a technique that works pretty well.

This is sick! My first salt fish on fly was a sheepshead and I’ve been chasing that feeling ever since!

Dude! That’s so awesome. I love multispecies in general and I focused on multispecies on fly this year. I managed to get 100 species on fly this year and I WISH one of them had been a sheepshead, but you’ve given me a leg up for nest year.
Thanks!

🌴 this is information to use in my fly fishing knowledge, as I didn’t even think about trying for sheepies in rough water next to a sea wall, I thought like you before that sheepshead were hard to catch on a fly rod, but the ones I have heard that were caught were on a crab fly pattern next to docks or mangroves, as for the cutoffs ya oysters and barnacles are like razor blades, I’ll be looking for olive jigs or I’ll be tying some up in an olive shrimp pattern ! 👍🏼👊🏼, Is that sheepie in the thumb nail an Eric Estrada clip art ? It’s bad azz !

Dude it was so much fun fishing with you amigo! I have to admit, when we went out and I saw the indicator I was extremely hesitant but after almost immediately hooking up there is NO arguing that it works. Had a blast and can’t believe I quadrupled the amount of sheepies I’ve ever caught in a matter of a few days. Hope we get to fish again soon dude.

I just got a place in San Leon, TX purposely. I've very loosely looked for something there since 2019. The fishing is so good, join me here sometime and let's slay fish on a pier or my boat. Yes I want a tattoo(s) the fish are plentiful, November is coming and Flounder abundant. DO THIS...

Cool video! I have never heard of Sheepshead before, and it was awesome to see what they look like, and also to learn some of their habits. No surprise that you found another fish that loves the PJ's marabou jig 😄

Cool video, thanks for sharing Drew!
How far down from your indicator was the jig?
Cheers!
