They Called the Game Warden on Us for Catching Too Many Sheepshead

- It is that time of year where the Sheepshead start stacking up along the jetties to spawn. Ruben and I made a quick stop at the local bait shop right before heading to Packery Channel Jetties. The morning started off a little slow, it took a few hours before the Sheepshead really started to bite but when they did the bite was INSANE!

When was the last time the Game Warden pulled up at your fishing spot? If y'all don't want to be like the other people not catching any fish, do yourself a favor and check out this video czcams.com/video/R3Rq19vFSjc/video.htmlsi=TWZuTAkLx347Rzu0 to see what rig we were using to catch all these fish. Thank y'all for sticking with us through the little hiatus and thanks for watching!
Last year same spot, everything was good!
🙏🏻
@@Angler13Fishing that's the secret spot. 💪
@@MattsSaltwaterFishing you know it!
😎
It's been a while man after covid they stoped pulling up
@@user-ej3hx9xd3o they seem to show up once every blue moon.
That’s awesome that y’all helped that couple.. I love to fish but I really enjoy helping others and sharing the knowledge that I’ve learned from others over the years….time to get the gear ready for the JACKSSSSS!!
Thank you for the kind words! Yes, we do enjoy helping others when we can, and we were happy that we were able to help them land some Sheepsheads. Heck yeah, we are waiting for those schools of Jacks to show up!
the best sheepshead fishing I've ever seen from land. They were monsters.
Thanks for watching! They were really good size this day, they tasted even better!
I so loved this amazing video! Ruben and Matt you guys are “Bad to tha Bone” on fishing techniques, rules and regulations, spikes on shoes so that a fisherman can walk on those slippery and slimy rocks, helping the couple out from Temple, Tx. and most of all for being exciting for all fishermen and fisherwomen on their catches. I also enjoyed watching you guys cooperating with Game Warden and showing your upmost respect!
Thank you so much for the very kind words, we really appreciate it!
‘That’s not a bad one’….DAMN those are stud sheepshead what are you talkin about! 😂
😂 lol thanks!
😂the imtro had me rolling 😂😂nice Sheepshead man🔥
Thanks, Ray! Still waiting on them Jacks though. 👀
@@MattsSaltwaterFishing they will be thick very soon am sure
Great haul! Spikes are a must on the rocks, learned my lesson! 😅
Thank you! We had a lot of people ask us what boots we were using this day and we had to let them know that Korkers was a must for us to fish jetties when the rocks are covered in algae.
Socks work good too
@@t-dog8528 I've heard some people say that but I wouldn't trust just socks when walking on some of the rocks covered with sharp barnacles.
Great video Matt & Ruben , yall really tore em sheepsheads up 👍
Thank you, Miguel! We had an awesome time out there. I hope you have been doing well!
There's Noone in this world I would trust more to net my fish than these 2 guys.
TRUEING true aaaaaaaaaaaand... Yeah, that's pretty true. That's true and- yeah that's true. That's true. That's true- That's pretty true. That's pretty true, I mean- ... That's true. Yeah. That's true. Uhm- That's true. That's f'in true. Uhm... That's how it is dude.
@@MattsSaltwaterFishing😂😂😂 Lol
@TharealJaxson if you put that in to Google the video of it will pop up. squadW 🦍
11:21 those two looked suspicious, they showed up there stood there looking at what you doing then walked away 😂
If this was Among Us I think you found the imposters.
Hell yeah bro! Nice haul
OMG is this THE Beach Bomber Fishing?!? Or is this a bot?
14:43 "Stop resisting" 😂
He was reaching. 👀
Awsome intro guys 😄👍 nice catches!
Thank you!
alright you got me, it was me who called them. LOLOLOLOLOLOLOL
😂
Sheepshead for everyone! Time for some big fish boys!!
Heck yeah! We had like 3 or 4 fish frys and still have Sheepshead lol. We're waiting on those big schools of Jacks to start showing up. Hopefully you have been well, Eric!
Great teamwork guys💯💪
Thanks, Ray, hope you have been well! 💪
I just happened upon this video and instantly recognized that jetty! Miss that place dearly. Ill need to go visit soon.
“Stop resisting” yeah he stopped him self before he said something outta pocket
CZcams needs to get some BTTV and 7TV emotes, the OuttaPocket emote would have been perfect.
You know the game wardens know where the fish are too every body was catching them it makes sense for him to swing through there and do some checking 😂 nice sheepshead though heck of a day
If only that was always the case. Early on there was a handful of people near us that were upset that we kept on pulling in Sheepshead after Sheepshead and they couldn't get 1 and we saw them on the phone with someone so who knows... They should probably check more often to be honest though. Thank you!
where you get that net from? would like to buy that one for blue crabs. i was out there with my kayak net and it was a pain but still got it done lmao
If I am not mistaken, we got this one at Academy.
Them korkers are clutch man!!
One of the best investments a person fishing the slippery jetty rocks can ever make. 💪
@@MattsSaltwaterFishing 💯
Should form a BrotherHood of Jetty Fishing!!!
Sounds like an interesting idea...
Wow!!!
Nice Catch!!!
Thanks!
I’m the type of person that if I’m not catching anything and someone else is, I ask him first tips in those places most people are friendly and having good time
Exactly! In other videos we explain what lures to use, what bait to use, how to work the lures, what bait rigs to use. I also bring up if other people are near you and they are getting bites/catching fish and you aren't, try doing what they are doing and if you aren't sure try asking. Usually people are friendly enough to explain what they are doing. That being said if they check out slip float video, that goes into great depth on the rig we were using.
Am i recording 😂😂😂 gets me every time😂
Lol we didn't spend $25 on shrimp to not record ourselves catching Sheeoshead. 😎
@MattsSaltwaterFishing foreals bro especially if you buy from Cos-Way 😂
Congrats I was there that weekend I two caught 4 sheepshead my sister caught 3 it was amazing.
Thank you! Glad to hear you and your sister did good out there.
Nice Thanks for sharing
Great day of fishing, but the main thought I had was what kind of shoes you had on to walk in the greene slime and net these fish?
" Stop, Resisting" famous last words 😂😂😂
He was reaching.
Nice Sheeps..
Thank you! They were fun to catch and even more fun to eat!
Yes sirrr gettem boys great catches
Thank you and thanks for watching!
Is this in New Jersey? And where at and awesome video!
No it is not New Jersey. This is at Packery Channel Jetties, in Corpus Christi, Texas. Thank you for watching!
Awesome fishing guys get the biggest one l enjoy watching
Thank you, glad you enjoyed the video.
hahaha damn game warden
He was actually really nice, we have come across others (just like any other profession) that aren't so friendly.
How deep did y’all set the bopper?
We were fishing about 5-6 feet deep. That's why other people that had fixed floats on were only fishing 2 feet deep and weren't getting nearly as many hits as we were.
imma look to set up a kayak trip for sebastion area soon
Sounds like fun. We're a little ways from Sebastian.
Where is that place
Packery Channel Jetties in Corpus Christi, Texas.
Good job bro… where can l find spikes for my shoes does Academy sell them
Thank you! If you are local to Corpus, Roy's might have them. If not you can check out the links in the description and check out the Korkers on there or go to Korkers dot com. Academy does not sell them.
I like that net. what brand is that?
H20 Express from Academy.
Those stripes fishes look like datnoid fresh water fish mostly found in Thailand and Indonesia? Some people in my former country call them tiger cause the look stripes like tiger and also agressive like it
Oh wow, that is super interesting to hear! I just looked them up and they do look very similar. We used to fish with my dad's friend's wife who was from Thailand and she could really fish. She loved to fish for Kingfish off of one of the local piers here and she made some awesome shark jerky.
Lol. What day was this?
The 1st week of March.
Our record was 64 between the 3 of us back when there were no limits.
from the looks i see from watchers the its invasion of karens!!! nice haul dont mess with the brothers,,
How have you been, Chris? They must have got upset that they weren't catching anything and we were pulling them up left and right. If they would have saw "BETTER Than the Lemon Rig" video they would have been tearing them up too. Thanks, Chris!
They rolled up on me last spring in my secret spot in Rockport
Hopefully they didn't catch you slippin'.
SHould have kept the barb clean it up and they either make goof spear tips or letter openers .
We got 10.5 pounder few weeks ago. The sheep runs about over now. They're bout all spawned out now.
Now that's a BIG Sheepshead! The largest one we got this day was 7lbs and the average ones we were getting were 4-5lbs. Yeah we're waiting for a different species to show up. Something with a little bit more pull.
@@MattsSaltwaterFishing That big one fought like a big slot red. Biggest we ever caught was 12 pounds. It actually ate a 1/2 oz rattle trap. I been in the sheep game for 35 years so we logged a lot of hours on the water.
@@notaliberalfromcali6245 Usually this time of year we are targeting Jack Crevalle and Kingfish, we prefer fish that have a little bit more pull. That being said these Sheepshead were a lot of fun to catch and even tastier to eat.
Where is this place sir?
Packery Channel Jetties in Corpus Christi, Texas.
What beach are y'all at?
We are at the Packery Channel Jetties (South Jetty) Whitecap Beach here in Corpus Christi, Texas.
Thank for sharing the location, I am from Northern CA, you are all amazing, hopefully I get chance to go there.
@lamt99 thank you so much for the kind words! I hope you are able to make it down one of these days too!
Some lady I'd that to us at a pier as we were the only ones catching 😂😂😂😂
Dang... that's just how it goes sometimes I suppose.
@@MattsSaltwaterFishing oh yea then I told people in charge of the dock. I have my ruler right here beside me we've been measuring them
@@SWFL_FISHING_239 lol some people just like to complain.
Nicee, where is this ?
Packery Channel Jetties in Corpus Christi, Texas.
Dangerous rock!!!
Yeah, the rocks can be very slippery this time of year.
Flipping game warden always ruining the fun
Lol we still had fun, just had to take a little break and chat with him for a minute.
Since when you can still fish if you limit out already,,,?
Since always (at least in Texas). A limit is what you can take home with you, nothing in the TPWD book that says you can't continue to catch fish and release them back into the water and also you can still keep fishing for all the other species that are out there such as Redfish, Pompano, Black Drum, Flounder, etc.
You can limit out because there are other species of fish. You're not guaranteed to catch nothing but sheepshead.
@@MattsSaltwaterFishing so what happen when you gut hook a fish you already limit on and that fish you were suppose to CNR died... toss the dead fish back in the water.? I guess if the DNR don't see it it's cool...
@ImionsaeXwb77 if that happens you can just cut your line and leave the hook in the fish instead of trying to remove it, the survival rate is better that way. We have caught several Redfish that had stomachs full of soft plastics but no hooks to be found.
Parabéns, muito top 💪💪💪💪💪
Thank you!
What State is this?
Texas.
Location? Please
Packery Channel Jetties in Corpus Christi, Texas.
están rraros estos peces, todos tienen el mismo vestido😂
Ellas llevan El uniforme TDCJ estandar.
todos llevan el mismo uniforme, parece que estaban presos😂
Who call the warden?
Probably one of the ones that got mad that they weren't catching any while we were hooking up left and right.
@@MattsSaltwaterFishing jajajaaa
Karen’s who are hating on my boy for catching the whole dinner plate.
What's the limit per day?
5 per person per day. Minimum length of 15 inches and no maximum length.
@@MattsSaltwaterFishingWhy does that limit exist?
@Crimson171 because the biologists at Texas Parks & Wildlife believe that that is a good limit to have for them to insure the fishery is sustainable for the future using the information they have such as Gil net surveys.
Bro what they don't know sheep head fish on top and they love live shrimp puro south water fishing
You know it! 🤙
CCC?
If you are asking the location, this is in Corpus Christi, Texas. Maybe CCTX got autocorrected?
Are y’all serious they called on y’all cause y’all was banging those ?? For real ?? What ever happened to they damn you talented hood fishing right there , what happened to the congratulations days not the im cal tipping YALL kids feel me California some folks crooked as they come , yet they still gott cool folk out here Family one love to all the chill understandable folk out here one ..
That's what I'm saying! All they had to do was watch our slip float video or ask what rig we were using to tear them up.
Nobody called the game warden. I promise
@@opticmanz that's just what someone who called the game warden would say...
I'm trying to join you !
Last I heard they were still biting but you have to weed through a few undersized ones before you find the keepers.
i say far is he cops like dont eat fish !!!
From my experience a lot of the Game Wardens are fellow outdoorsman themselves, whether it be fishing, hunting, camping or hiking.
I wish they let ppl fish in peace
We're just trying to have a good time outside, catching fish is just a bonus. The Game Warden was very couteous though.
Y'all did good but y'all a little strange
Strange in a good way or strange in a bad way?
I don't think anyone called the game warden on you. Those fellas look for licenses where they are needed. They glass you up from 300 yards and watch you violate and run in for the check. Just take the limit of legal fish and you will not have anything to cry about. But now you are on their list of violators to look for. Be prepared to feel more like a victim.
The limit per day per fisher WITH a license is 5 per day on sheepshead. Your video taking more than the bag limit? is evidence in court. Its a regulated fish because they can be over fished, then there will be none for anyone. Shame on your dude! SHAME!
Did you even watch the video? We literally took all the fish out and counted them. 😂
Why cut off the barb an put it back without its protection
They live without it and it’s safer for people especially since that one was close to the beach and people are swimming. They do that here in the gulf and it’s dangerous if you get hit by one so it’s for humans safety. An animal is not more important than a human life
Barbs grow back and to be honest, if that barb was not removed, the gentleman that caught it would have more than likely been stung by it because he did not know how to properly handle it. What usually happens when a Stingray stings a person or another fish, the barb is venomous and made to dislodge/break. The unfortunate side effect to that is it can leave some nasty wounds in people, causing them to go to the emergency room and have to battle infections for sometimes up to several months.
@@HuntingWithTheHalls Exactly and it will grow back.
i see it now hello game warden we aint catching any fish n theese guys keep catching them come stop them its not fair stupid karens
That about sums it up.
@@MattsSaltwaterFishing well not ur prob if they dont know how to fish they sould stay home
So sad to see you basically kill that baby stingray. You didn’t have to cut his only way of defense.
Barbs grow back and to be honest, if that barb was not removed, the gentleman that caught it would have more than likely been stung by it because he did not know how to properly handle it.
@@MattsSaltwaterFishing oh. Ok. Cool. Did not know that. Ty for telling me. I feel better. You can’t eat them rays?
@Irsauditor4320 you're welcome. Unfortunately, some people aren't aware of it and they end up cutting the whole entire tail and unlike a Geko, the tail does not grow back. As far as eating I heard that some people do eat them and supposedly some restaurants serve the wings up as "scallops". What usually happens when a Stingray stings a person or another fish, the barb is venomous and made to dislodge/break. The unfortunate side effect to that is it can leave some nasty wounds in people, causing them to go to the emergency room and have to battle infections for sometimes up to several months.
@Irsauditor4320 you can make a really delicious stew with the meat from the wings.
