I used to catch Red fish like that all day long down in New Orleans. Also, we used to catch Sheep Head also some of the best fishing I have ever done was down there in New Orleans.

Temu has a squid imitation you should try. White diving lipped crank bait with a big eye on the back end of it. White soft plastic skirt tentacles on the back end. Amazing how much a bass lure looks like a squid. Lipped diver means you can fish the entire water column with it.

Would be awesome if you make more videos using Temu's fishing lures. Especially the imitation hairy dice lure. There's a hairy dice lure that's 12mm, that should be great size for sheepheads. As a kid I caught 2 small speckled trouts with bread and 3 bass with a line of about 15 yellow corn with a hook at the end. I fished it as a swimming worm.

Oh and the two weirdest lures I've ever used were 1) a bottle cap bent around a hook and caught several Bass and a catfish on it. 2) I lost all the lures I had with me only a few and took apart the cheap watch band I had on tied a split ring to it and a treble hook and caught Bass and a big slab Crappie in it ...Tight Lines Brother

Ivory soap at certain times of the year is a good catfish bait too. We caught sheepshead on crickets in February one year 15+ years ago. We was down there to deer hunt and when season ended Jan 31 we stayed a few days to fish. We had been up in freshwater catching shell crackers and for whatever reason wound up back at the salt and the only bait we could find we already had just had to put 2 or 3 on the hook at a time.

Temu has a nock off of the VUDU shrimp in small and big size. That would be cool if we tried that too.

I may have already made this comment so I apologize if this is a duplicate. Maybe you could try the Almost Alive fiddler crab lures.

There are smaller version of this crab (4.5 cm / 5.8g). I ordered from Aliexpress. But you will need to change the hook and make a new craw. Good Luck 😁😁😁

Man at 20$ a cranker crab and as well as sheepshead see with being very visual eaters and line shy at times in clearer conditions I would be way too scared to scale down on line size and lose a 20$ lure.
