Local Species Insights: Sheepshead
Sheepshead are among Charleston's most sought-after inshore gamefish, known for their excellent table fare and challenging fight around structure. These fish inhabit dock pilings, jetties, and oyster bars where they feed on barnacles, crabs, and small shellfish. The key to consistent sheepshead success lies in precise bait presentation and quick hook sets, as these fish are notorious for stealing bait without getting hooked.
