They Called the Game Warden on Us for Catching Too Many Sheepshead
Спорт
It is that time of year where the Sheepshead start stacking up along the jetties to spawn. Ruben and I made a quick stop at the local bait shop right before heading to Packery Channel Jetties. The morning started off a little slow, it took a few hours before the Sheepshead really started to bite but when they did the bite was INSANE!

When was the last time the Game Warden pulled up at your fishing spot? If y'all don't want to be like the other people not catching any fish, do yourself a favor and check out this video kzread.info/dash/bejne/hGeG05Nypqm5msY.htmlsi=TWZuTAkLx347Rzu0 to see what rig we were using to catch all these fish.

Exactly! In other videos we explain what lures to use, what bait to use, how to work the lures, what bait rigs to use. I also bring up if other people are near you and they are getting bites/catching fish and you aren't, try doing what they are doing and if you aren't sure try asking. Usually people are friendly enough to explain what they are doing. That being said if they check out slip float video, that goes into great depth on the rig we were using.

The limit per day per fisher WITH a license is 5 per day on sheepshead. Your video taking more than the bag limit? is evidence in court. Its a regulated fish because they can be over fished, then there will be none for anyone. Shame on your dude! SHAME!

I don't think anyone called the game warden on you. Those fellas look for licenses where they are needed. They glass you up from 300 yards and watch you violate and run in for the check. Just take the limit of legal fish and you will not have anything to cry about. But now you are on their list of violators to look for. Be prepared to feel more like a victim.

Barbs grow back and to be honest, if that barb was not removed, the gentleman that caught it would have more than likely been stung by it because he did not know how to properly handle it. What usually happens when a Stingray stings a person or another fish, the barb is venomous and made to dislodge/break. The unfortunate side effect to that is it can leave some nasty wounds in people, causing them to go to the emergency room and have to battle infections for sometimes up to several months.
