Nearshore Fishing


Sheepshead move offshore to spawn from late winter through the early spring.  When these fish migrate offshore, you can often find some sheepshead on nearshore reefs and wrecks if they are available in the area you are fishing.  If you can find some of these spots, you may be able to experience some very good fishing for some big sheepshead.  The adults that are going out to spawn will be schooled up out here which means the average size fish is a lot bigger than what you will usually see inshore.
