Fishing the Pier in March

The silver cricket (snatch hook) is the only artificial that I've ever heard of anyone being successful with. I recommend live shrimp (because if the sheepshead aren't around/biting, you can use live shrimp for other species) or (second choice) fiddler crabs.

Live shrimp are my choice, by far, because if the sheepshead aren't biting, you can always take the bait home and cook it.

I prefer fiddler crabs as pets. I have one called, "Charlie Daniels"! I have a bunch of other fiddler crabs, but I just call them, "bait".
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!
