The forecast was 1' to 2' off shore so John and I headed out on this cold morning for some deeper fishing. While launching at this particular tamp, the currents can be strong and when I got the boat in the water, the boat swung around in the current and the trolling motor prop hit one of the walkway supports and broke one of the blades in half so we could not use the Minn Kota for keeping us anchored. So, when we got to our destination, we drift fished the entire morning and early afternoon.
You can also go under our bridges here in New Smyrna and fish between the pillars. Use small 1/0 hooks and buy fiddler crabs at bait shops. Or frozen shrimp are also favorites for Sheepshead. Of course, don't anchor up in the right of way under the bridges but go around to the inside of the pylons. No doubt, you will hook into some nice Sheepshead... have fun and take pictures.. good memories..!

Additional gear rules apply. Within state waters of the Atlantic and Gulf, the snapper aggregate bag limit is 10 fish per harvester unless the species rule specifies that it is not included in the aggregate. This means that a harvester can retain a total of 10 snappers in any combination of species. Gulf reef fish survey required when fishing for selected reef species from a private vessel in the Gulf of Mexico.
