call me crazy

I have a short window to fish tomorrow from about 12-330. Planning on just hitting the surf for some sheepies, whiting, trout and just about whatever will give me a tight line. But I have to ask, would it even be worth it? not sure what condition the surf will be in, rain etc. What do you guys think?

[westbay grasshoppa]

if you guys target sheepies, what size and style hook would you recommend given the teeth and the subtle bite?

[Jhua]

Depends on how you are fishing for sheeps. If i'm vertical jigging around pilings, I usually have 30lb braid with 40lb mono leader on a #3 eagle claw croaker hook. Everywhere else, i usually use 10lb braid and 20lb leader. I rig both ways up carolina style.

I have a small front wheel drive saturn...how is the sand at the north?/east? jetty? The one you get to all the way down seawall blvd going towards louisianna? Or perhaps just hit the surf?!?!

Try the rocks on any of the rock jetties on the seawall. They have been producing lots of sheep's, drum, whitin, and.others

yeppers i got some pics from Tiki island yesterday and west bay was rough.There was one boat out at fatboys about 11 oclock.

You must want it bad!

Wait until Thurs/Fri, and the weekend actually is forecasted to be pretty good too. Drum and sheephead should be in thick. Mackerel reports are coming in too, and even some early trout! I think the surf will turn on early this year.

For all eating-size fish (slot drum, red, sheephead) bottom fishing with dead shrimp I use a #4 (not 4/0) gamakatsu shiner hook. Small hook is good for sheephead as their mouths aren't big, and I have brought in bull reds on it too.

Surf is nasty all the way out to the tankers. Rough as all get out. Don't waste your time unless you're already here.

The bad stuff hit here at on the west end around the same time you wanted to go out; if you went out . it was a good one!

So how did you do? Did you get a chance to make it out?
