That's good to know. I'll stick with shrimps and mussels for now.

Joey at Squidco is a person who's opinions I respect. He said the "big bait, big fish" rule applies with sheephead. He said larger baits are not a deterrent. .
I know sheephead tend to be nibblers of crustaceans in the rocks, reefs and stuck to kelp, so I was wondering if larger baits would separate larger sheephead from younger females and smaller rockfish, or if smaller baits were more important for sheephead in general.

Maybe tuna crabs would be good when they are available?

This looks so delicious, I'm tempted to try it myself!
