Today we join Bearded Brad and AnglerUp With Brant as they fish the jetties for sheepshead at Orange Beach, Alabama. Although the trek down to the jetties can be challenging, our adventurous anglers are well-prepared with live shrimp and various rigs to maximize their chances of catching some impressive fish.
It's the perfect time of year for sheepshead to gather around the end of these jetties. Using the Frisky Fin Sheepshead Jig and Carolina Rigs, Bearded Brad and Brant cast their lines out, hoping for a successful day of fishing.
The only problem with fishing in this area is the abundance of rocks, making it difficult to avoid getting lines tangled or broken. However, this doesn't deter our determined fishermen, who get rigged up and start catching fish almost immediately. The two anglers take turns catching sizable sheepshead, with Brant assisting Brad in landing the fish due to the lack of a net.
As they continue fishing, they find that the Carolina Rig is proving to be the most effective, with both anglers catching multiple fish. The sheepshead they catch are pretty large, indicating that it's spawning season for these fish. While reeling in their catches, they must contend with the strong West Wind and slippery rocks, making it a challenging but rewarding fishing experience.
