We anglers certainly overthink things at times, and choosing jig heads to match up with swimbaits and paddletails might be an example. After all, we all know that most fishing tackle is designed to catch the fisherman, not the fish. And while in some cases it may not matter one iota, in others, having the right jig head on the end of your line will make a difference.

The sheepshead is among the tastiest fish around, they fight great, and in many areas at many times of the year they’re quite plentiful. Added bonus: since they stick so close to structure like rocks and pilings they’re often available to all sorts of anglers, be they on a boat, kayak, or fishing from shore or a pier. The next time you decide to go sheep wrangling, be sure to remember these five critical tips. In areas where there are lots of small bait-stealers, stick with hard crab baits.

We first talked about gyroscopic boat stabilization systems all the way back in 2017. Back then, gyros were only for the well-to-do, to say the least. Seakeeper introduced systems that would reduce a boat’s rocking and rolling dramatically, often to the tune of 90-plus-percent, but only if you could spend $50,000 to $100,000 to add one to your 40-plus-foot boat. My, how times have changed. As often happens with new tech, price has come down with time.

Is it possible that those finned critters are smarter than you and I? It certainly seems that way sometimes, when we know we should be catching more than we are. You might spot tailing redfish and be unable to buy a bite, or maybe the meter shows a huge school below the boat and your lure goes untouched. Whatever. There isn’t an angler alive who hasn’t pulled his or her hair out trying to figure out why a fish won’t bite.

Dual console boats are great for both families and fishing, but the vast majority of them are runabouts that limit you to day-tripping with a small crew. What if you also enjoy weekending, entertaining large parties, and taking long cruises? Enter: the Grady-White Freedom 345. The Freedom 345 not only adds a cabin into the mix, but it also comes with a massive heaping of luxury. Check out the aft-facing lounger seat in the cockpit, for example.
