Sheepshead on the neuse river?

Ten Pointer
Never tried for them so this would be totally new to me. How is the sheepshead fishing this time of year on the river? I will be using fiddler crabs. Any pointers on locations and rigs would be greatly appreciated.

Lived in New Bern for almost 10 years. Never heard of anyone catching or fishing for them there. Ain't saying you can't, just never heard of it. Although the water there is considered brackish, I think in general, it's too fresh there for sheepshead. WAY on down the river around some hard structure seems more likely.
I've fished for them around Morehead City around the bridges though. Always wanted to try around the docks there also, but never made it happen.
