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.
