    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.

    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?

    Give a googan a king, and he can eat for a day. But teach a googan how to kingfish, and he'll be dead of mercury poisoning inside of three years

    Re: sheepshead hook

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

    http://savannahnow.com/stories/04020...kecolumn.shtml

    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.
