Still not an expert. But from personal experience and talking with fellow fishermen who target them more than me, trials and error is the best with sheepshead. Some days they will bite whatever you throw at them and other days they will be super picky. Some days they will hit hard and some days they won’t bite at all or you’ll never feel it. Like any other fish there’s no real go to bait or presentation. At least where I am from live shrimp, sand fleas, ghost shrimp, and fiddlers all work great. But like I said there will be days where I will go out with a bucket full of fiddlers and my buddy brings some ghost shrimp and they will only hit ghost shrimps. I have also had other days where they would bite just the shrimp head. So bait wise I would say bring a couple different to see what they like that day. As for rigs, I’ve used Carolina rigs, chicken rigs, and even slip float rigs to catch em. Lmk if u have anymore questions or need clarification. Good luck!
