Great video makes me think of many moons ago when me and buddies fished them same spots I used to live in Pascagoula now living in iowa you make me think of the good ole days thank you sir
When I lived in Florida I would fish for the sheepshead around the bridges using fiddler crabs or shrimp. Early and late fall was best time to catch the biggest size. I would use the heads from the shrimp as chum to get them to start really biting. I went to a different style hook which improved my hook ups. One thing about sheepshead you got to stay focused on them to catch them because they hit fast.
That was one awesome black drum I do believe that's the biggest drum I've ever seen caught on video. Great catch keep them coming. Thanks for sharing stay safe
@@MississippiSalt Looks like your out by Ingles possibly. Somewhere in that area. At first I was thinking Bernard Bayou out by Trinity yachts. I use to work there and we had one of those big yellow boat lifts out there. Big enough to lift 300' boats.
The mother of all Black Drums 💪🏻 Awesome underwater footages. This is gonna be your 2021 video with the most views. I’ve been to Chevron twice with no luck. That’s spot is on fire 🔥
That spot has paid off nicely for two weeks in a row. I’m really having fun with this underwater footage. Constantly trying to find ways to make it better!
@@MississippiSalt an idea 💡 attached the camera to the Kayak and that way you will always have the shot of the area you are dropping off the bait 🤷🏻♂️
Awesome video! Quick question, as the weather gets colder do you find it better to fish out front near port of Gulfport or bay saint Louis behind hard rock or back bay of Biloxi. Not targeting anything specific I’m just new to kayak fishing
I’ll be honest with you I’m not the best at fishing winter time conditions around here. Still learning myself! Most of my fishing is done around ocean springs in Pascagoula. A lot of the fish that stick around in the winter tend too pushed back up into the bays looking for deeper warmer water. Sheepshead handle colder water much better than our other local fish.
I'm coming down Saturday morning. I'm gonna have to do some pier fishing and wading in the surf. Was looking at some aerial views and it looks like that beach park pier in Pascagoula may have a man made reef in front of it all the way out at the end of it. Do you know if that's the case?
@@MississippiSalt Ok I pulled up coordinates for all 73 man made reefs on the coast and there is one at Front Beach that looks like the one I'm talking about and there is one at Pascagoula Municipal Pier. I'm really wanting to catch some fish this weekend so I'm making my best plan of attack now since I'm limited to where I can go.
I just found your page. I’m from Gulfport. Novice fisher here, would learn to love more. I see you’re by ingalls here. I don’t have a kayak with pedals but I really want to catch some reds and trout in my kayak or canoe. Any pointers?
Ive tried using jig heads on the ICW near Matanzas Inlet but the current is too strong unless its slack tide. Didn't look like the water was moving much up your way
i figured you were in pascagoula i recognize the cranes at the shipyards. is that Ingalls? or Signal? I used to work at Ingalls back in 2009 when it was owned by Northrop Grumman
I filled the pvc with Great Stuff foam so if it were to detach in any way, it will float to the top. I spent the entire night before this trip thinking of every possible way to NOT lose it! 🤣
I could but I’m trying to limit scaring the fish away from the camera as much as possible. I think a pool noodle would be to big and obvious. I ended up with over 1 hr worth of underwater footage and the bulk of it shows that the sheepshead knew it was there and they were curious about it. I had bo problems getting bites on the bottom. But I only had a couple of bites in view of the camera. Even though they were swimming all around my camera.
I used to kayak in a small lake in Tallahassee Florida that was filled with gators. Made me pretty nervous the first few times but luckily never had any issues!
@@MississippiSalt I've tried a many different ingredients. But as for the base ingredients I do equal parts of mayonnaise and whipped cream cheese, roughly 1/2cup of each for 1/2pd of fish, 1 tablespoon or preference of fresh squeezed lemon juice, 1/2 decent sized yellow onion, 1 tablespoon dijon mustard, couple teaspoons of horseradish, hot sauce to liking, dill relish to liking, 1/2 teaspoon worcestershire, parsley, pepper and old bay. Mainly the mayonnaise, cream cheese, onion and old bay are the base after that most anything you like that fits works well. I'm from Georgia we love our smoked fish dip but sheephead is the best! Rub the fish down with a little salt and cane sugar and let it sit rubbed over night in the fridge. I prefer pecan wood when smoking fish.
Can’t lip them with a mouth full of teeth and their top dorsal fins are sharp and tough. Idk, just my preferred method to hold them while in a kayak. 🤷♂️
FRY SOME OF THOSE SHEEPHEAD FOR YOUR VIEWERS NICE BIG HALF FISH SIZE FRYING SIZE TO COVER WHOLE PLATE WITH 4 SLICES OF BREAD, SORRY BUT I GOT HUNGRY WATCHING YOU CATCH ALL THOSE SHEEPHEAD FISH.
Amazing fishing, try not to hold fish by there eyes.
Doesn't matter if you hold them by THEIR eyes if you're planning on killing them and eating them 😉
Does it change the way they taste
Yeah, there's no need for that, even if you're keeping them.
Great video makes me think of many moons ago when me and buddies fished them same spots I used to live in Pascagoula now living in iowa you make me think of the good ole days thank you sir
Thanks for watching. I’m glad to hear it brings back memories for you. I’ll be posting a few more videos of this area over the next few weeks.
Love it! Man is my mouth watering. Thanks for sharing JR.
That's near where the US Navy builds ships in Pascagoula. Security was nice to him.👍
They even escorted me past the navy ships to my fishing spot 🤣
@@MississippiSalt Im in Vicksburg. My 1972 rebuilt Starcraft Deep V SS just got a new 30 hp Suzuki.👍👍
Nice job ! Mr. Lion king.
Holy Drum
Love it! Colton said, “he caught dory and Nemo and a BIG parent fish!
The underwater footage is turning out great!
“Big parent fish”. Love it! 🤣🤣

Use oysters- and be surprised!

I used to love fishing Pascagoula. Nice Reds.
Really cool video!

Great video
Sweet video man! Cool to see them underwater like that too. Wish I had some old sea walls like that to fish! Also nice black drum!
Thanks! That sea wall has really been paying off these last few weeks.

You were right all along about this video. Rest In Peace brother….
Great fish mate and excellentl footage from your mate in nz
The underwater footage is great! I fly fish in that area a good bit. 🤙🏼
I’ve honestly never thought about fly fishing on the coast. That’s pretty cool!
Those are some nice fish good job bro
Great video brother!!
Thanks man!
Awesome fishing, I love to fish for those, I be going to Wilmington nc
Subscribed after see this, Awesome job brother

Subscribed after seeing this video. Wish I still worked at the shipyard behind you. Amazing fishing spot there.
Thanks for the sub, Mark! Indeed, some excellent fishing there.
Really cool video bro!
Thank you!
I foul hooked a big drum about that size off the beach in Gulfport one day. That was fun.
Well done dude, pretty flipping awesome!
Amazing vid. I hit the subscribe button right away 👊🏽
You are awesome. Thank you!
You must be fishing around Pascagoula I think I recognize the ship yard! We get some damn fine Sheepheads in the bayous to the north of there.
Yessir!
Ayeee I stay in Biloxi
I'll be moving from north carolina to Florida next year. That's my will I pray God will would be done in life 🙏

Black Drum Was a nice fish👍
Ive tried using jig heads on the ICW near Matanzas Inlet but the current is too strong unless its slack tide. Didn't look like the water was moving much up your way
Nice black drum
Incredible footage. Can you tell me the brand of kayak and the length? My husband is shopping for one.
Thank you! It is the Hobie Compass and it 12ft long.
What size hook you using? I can never catch sheepshead. I use a 2/0 circle hook. What size you use?
I steer clear of circle hooks in general when fishing for sheeps. If I’m not using a jig head, I’ll use a size one hook.
did you use shrimp for all your catches?
Yep!
i figured you were in pascagoula i recognize the cranes at the shipyards. is that Ingalls? or Signal? I used to work at Ingalls back in 2009 when it was owned by Northrop Grumman
Ingalls. Headed there again this morning.
I’d be so scared to lose a go pro 😂😂

Thanks! Yes, live shrimp.

Appreciate it! Just subbed back!

Everyone’s thuggin
Just subbd nice video
Thanks! Just subbed too.
great content. what time of the year is this ?
Thanks for the compliment. 👍 this was in December.
@@MississippiSalt thank you so much
now i got Mississipi in my bucket list
Is that the Penn Battle III LE combo? If so what size?
It is! That’s the 3k size.
What fishing reel is that and fishing line? Those are some big sheep head you got.
That’s the Penn Battle 3 LE combo with 20lb super slick power pro braid. Thanks for watching.
@@MississippiSalt 20lb braid wow and you coughs that big fish. That was awesome 👏 👍.
Kayaking looks like so much fun. But in Florida I'm terrified of gators. Too bad or else I'd be fishing on it all day.
I used to kayak in a small lake in Tallahassee Florida that was filled with gators. Made me pretty nervous the first few times but luckily never had any issues!
Trust me there are gators there where he is.
Smoked sheephead dip is my favorite food!
I’d love a recipe if you have one!

@@MississippiSalt no problem Thanks for the awesome content!
@@MississippiSalt if you like deviled eggs put some minced smoked fish in it. It'll change your life lol!
Im from Purvis,, some of the best fishin in the world is on the coast
Great underwater footage. What were the schools of fish?
Mullet!
I thought they were called convicts because of the b&w stripes
That too! Just forgot to mention that 🤣
What do you used for bait to catch sheepshead
I start off with live shrimp to help locate the sheepshead. Once I find them, I’ll typically just use pieces of shrimp.
😂 “What am I gonna do wit this thing”
🤣🤣
Great video what is your rod and reel ?
Thank you! This is the Penn Battle 3 SE combo in the 3000 series.
@@MississippiSalt thank you sir .
Clicked sub for you! 800!!
Thank you!!
They are super tasty.
Why are u pressing the eyes of those fish?
where is the camera footage?
One thing i don't understand y were u putting your fingers on the eyes.
Can’t lip them with a mouth full of teeth and their top dorsal fins are sharp and tough. Idk, just my preferred method to hold them while in a kayak. 🤷♂️
Ok
Can you eat black drum?
Yes you can! And they are actually quite tasty when they are smaller. Once they get big, their meat is usually loaded with worms.
Why in the hell do you grab them by the eyes?
Your grabbing the fish by the eyeballs? Lol
Between the mouth full of teeth and spines as sharp as razors, yes, I grab them by the eye sockets haha.
@@MississippiSalt i admire your channel
Effort and underwater footage
Either way lol
When did the fish bite the bait on camera?
FRY SOME OF THOSE SHEEPHEAD FOR YOUR VIEWERS NICE BIG HALF FISH SIZE FRYING SIZE TO COVER WHOLE PLATE WITH 4 SLICES OF BREAD, SORRY BUT I GOT HUNGRY WATCHING YOU CATCH ALL THOSE SHEEPHEAD FISH.
I'd be careful for sharks when you put your hands n water. Bull sharks .
Southern dudes even when they try to sound smart all sound like muppets . Real talk , I had to put the vid on mute and CC . AHAHAHAHAh
But you still watched the video… I appreciate the support 👍😉
why you poking them sheepies in the eye?
🤣🤣
I was wondering same thing.
Very good video. But why are you holding the fish by its eyes? Very careless
Click bait! Disappointed
