We spent 3 incredible days fishing for sheepshead near Boca Grande, targeting the legendary Phosphate Docks—and the action did NOT disappoint!
Launching from Eldred's Marina in our Saturn FB365 dinghy, we chased down some of the trickiest fish to hook—sheepshead! From frustrating missed bites to dialing in the perfect technique with fiddler crabs and live shrimp, this trip had it all.
Sharon battles the learning curve before landing her first sheepshead, while Joe hooks into multiple fish using a bottom sweeper jig. Along the way, we’re joined by dolphins swimming right beside the boat —an unforgettable Florida moment!
But that’s not all—this trip turns into a full-on fishing adventure:
A surprise Spanish mackerel while trolling
A first-ever spadefish catch
Trying our luck with tarpon fishing using pass crabs
Catching some unexpected species like pufferfish and sand bass
Back at the marina, Joe shows how to clean and cook sheepshead into delicious keto cabbage wraps—one of the best ways to enjoy your catch!
We wrap up the trip reflecting on an amazing few days on the water, sharing our catches, and ending with a meaningful Bible verse.
