Your son must have been pretty ecstatic to pull in such a nice Sheephead! Has he asked you when are you going again yet?!

I’m not sure if you know but I fish DP just about every weekend and know the area fairly well. Just out of the harbor there are several white cans and close to them are smaller reefs and rocks. I actually pulled a limit of Sheep off one of those areas.

When you head south you would need to search for scattered rock piles and reefs and drop down on them and see what’s home. Usually bass, perch and Sheep. Same for just outside the harbor along the long jetty.

If you want to have a good chance at pulling a limit of Sheep you need to head north past the point and move from kelp patch to kelp patch until you find that magic one. You could be fishing as shallow as twenty feet to as deep as fifty.
Also poke around the lobster pots. Freshly baited pots not only attract lobster but they attract many other fish as well.
