What kind of rig do you use to catch sheepshead? I will be spending next week at Ft. Pulaski working and am looking for some night fishing.

1/2 oz sinker 12 inch leader #3 wide shank hook.

How is the current out there?

[clinder]

fort pulaski current is strong. were i fish for sheepshead the current is not that bad.

Fort Pulaski is a good trout and flounder spot. Try pitching DOA's around the entrance bridge on slower tides for them. I saw a guy there one time who had a flounder in his cooler that had to have been about 26". It was about this time of year too.

I work at the Coast Guard base there to fix electronics on the boats. That current does rip through there on the Savannah River side pretty quick. I would say upwards to 4-6 knots. I've thought about trying to get out to Cockspur Island Light and throwing around there on a falling high tide. There has to be fish waiting on bait to come down river there. The only problem is getting out there at high tide! Like someone said before, Kayak, the best set of waders you'll ever have...

Clinder, do you mean a long shank hook or a hook with a wide gap? What's your bait of choice chasing sheepshead?

[clinder]

short shank wide gap. purple fiddlers. hook 3-4 on at a time eenough to hide the whole hook.sorry didnt mean wide "shank"meant wide gap.
