Re: sheepshead hook
a ghost shrimp lives in the sand. a snatch hook aka (silver cricket) is another way of catching the sheephead by snatching them while there swimming around the pilands.

Re: sheepshead hook
Thanks for the reply and the pictures. That really helps.
I've been seeing a lot of pictures with people holding King Mackerals. Are they safe to eat?

Re: sheepshead hook
A quick google search brought up an interesting article about eating kings:

If you don't like what it says, keep looking until you find one that you do like. There are plenty of voices on this issue. Seems like we would all be better off keeping the little guys to eat and popping off the big ones to fight another day. Yeah. Right.

Yeah, and just like that the telemetry from the site went down (at 1:06 this morning). They should get it working again Monday. Generally speaking, king mackerel are about our most sensitive fish...
