That was Bill Engvall's stand up about the dork fish

Fiddler crab...sheephead love 'em.

But you better be quick, they are top notch bait stealers.

They do make good bait

Using a garden hoe/shovel/ice chisel, barnacles are scraped from pilings, bulkheads and concrete bridge abutments to chum and start the chow WOW!! Surprisingly light-biters, even the larger 5 -10 lbrs. Old timers would warn "Set the hook before you feel the bite!" :Rofl I do better with the wait a tad technique. Although incredible eats , they are more arduous on the less than perfect filet-skilled. :twocents

I enjoyed watching them move up and down the pilings biting off the barnacles. Interesting to watch them feed

They like to hang around pylons mid depth, I catch them with a number size 4 heavy duty hook on a slip float . They love baby freshwater crawfish. They have big tough scales, and are hard to clean.

Yep, a sheepshead, and yep, they love most types of crabs, including sand fleas, but I believe that particular one, needs a DentaStix dog treat or two, to clean those pearly white man-like teeth.
Check out those crusher-plates that they use to pulverize crabs and other types of shellfish.
