Local Species Insights: Sheepshead
Sheepshead are one of the most sought-after nearshore species around Port Orange, known for their excellent table fare and challenging fight. These distinctive black-and-white striped fish congregate around structure like jetties, wrecks, and bridge pilings where they feed on barnacles, crabs, and other crustaceans. Their human-like teeth make them perfectly adapted for crushing shellfish, but also make them notorious bait thieves. March is prime time for sheepshead fishing as they move into nearshore waters for spawning, making them more aggressive and easier to locate around structure.
