Posted: July 21, 2025 | Last updated: July 21, 2025 Join me on the kayak as I go after a mixed bag of inshore favorites—sheepshead, black drum, speckled trout, and redfish!

They are fishing the Kissimmee River, Taylor Slough, King's Bar, Horse Island and Tin House Cove. No boat? No worry. Fish from the bank at Harney Pond Canal with live minnows.

Fishing pieces of shrimp on 3/8- to 1/2-ounce Sheepballs and jigheads, Gunter said the sheepshead were in full-on spawning mode, following up hooked fish to the surface.

We seem to catch more sheepshead on crabs, probably 3 to 1, but this year it has been hard to get them. I’ve even ordered 1,000 at a time from the East Coast. I’m using the 1,000 in 3 to 5 trips.

That’s exactly what they did in a recent video posted on Galveston Saltwater Fishing, the same Facebook group that last week engaged in a memorable debate over a spotless speckled trout.
