Ever wondered exactly how many sheepshead go to the wrecks and reefs during the winter? Here’s a short video from this past weekend showing the massive migration.
Enjoy…

soooo which reef was this 
Proline 201WA
Aloha 24ft pontoon (LooneyToon)
Old Town stern with 7.5 johnson
No wonder why I didn’t get a single Sheepshead this Sunday! how far out was this?
Wow. They actually outnumber BSB. Don’t name the reef!
This wasn’t from a public reef, just some random bottom in 60’
Very cool video, thanks for sharing – what is up with the rig? Is it set up to give you some control of the camera from the surface?

The setup is nothing too fancy besides a GoPro 4 with a homemade housing. I wish we had control from the surface, we just drop the rig overboard, let out a little slack line, and tie it off to a cleat. It’s a cool way to see what fish are in the area and what the structure looks like too.
That is pretty slick – what’s the fishing rod part for?

I am guessing the rod allows consistency in setting the camera on the bottom in deep water. You can set it and reset it in good shooting position. Makes sense pretty cool housing! Is there a weight in the housing too?

There is a weight in the housing and the legs contain a rebar rod each. The legs are screwed in and will be the weak point if it ever gets hung up on the bottom. Rather lose a leg then the camera. Also carry swim fins and a snorkel just in case.
There are 2 eyelets for attaching the line, one on top is balanced and will allow it to drop level on the way down. Another eyelet on the front will allow the camera to face downward to survey the bottom on descent. The housing is zip tied to the leg structure, we can take the housing off and drift or troll with it, it runs pretty level and will bounce along the botttom if enough line is out. When it bounces it attracts fish as well in areas you wouldn’t expect fish to be in.
The fish rod has a quick release clip, we can hook up a line from another rod to it and watch the fish bite, the release clip keeps the fish from dragging the camera around.
It painted in a demented lobster scheme, figured that may attract as well.

Now there is a man with his thinking cap on. Thanks for including us.
