Local Species Insights: Sheepshead
Sheepshead are one of the Gulf Coast's most distinctive fish, recognized by their unique black and white vertical stripes and human-like teeth. These powerful fish are structure-oriented, typically found around jetties, pilings, oyster reefs, and other hard structures in the Galveston area. Anglers target them using light to medium tackle with live bait such as fiddler crabs, shrimp, or small crabs. Sheepshead are notorious for their light bites and ability to steal bait, making them a challenging but rewarding catch.
In Galveston waters, sheepshead can be caught year-round, but the peak season runs from late fall through early spring when they gather in larger schools near structure. Captain Steve has perfected techniques for targeting these crafty fish, using specialized terminal tackle and precise presentations to increase hook-up rates. A 20-inch sheepshead, like the one mentioned in the trip notes, represents a quality catch and provides excellent table fare with its white, flaky meat.
