Water temp (in Perdido Bay) is actually a little below average (72) for this date...
This cool snap should drop the water temps a few more degrees and kick things off.
The high salinity (from lack of rain upstate) may delay the normal egress of sheepshead from upper Mobile Bay though.
In the past, the persistent presence of pinfish has been my biggest deterrent to catching sheepshead prior to Thanksgiving.Last edited by Pier#r; 11-19-2016 at 12:30 PM.

Some have been caught in the Pcola area, it's getting close to time. I love sheepshead season, great time to stock up on groceries.

Well, after several hours making phone calls, I was able to track down a certain manufacturer’s service center in California. Thankfully, they agreed to send out my needed parts. These were left over...
You would think I would know this!
