Well... went for macks... I found these bruisers instead. Well... My family did.. My name that trip was "tackle dad." We headed out Friday on the last day of spring break. 5 dozen shrimp at Oneills for hopefully non-stop action for the kids. Carolina rigged with long shank hooks for the macks.
Waters were calm, winds were calm and it was a good ride out there. Once there.. Within 15 minutes. BLAM... the first hit. Lost it. Grrr. Next thing I know... another hit... BLAM.. rocked up. Then rocked up again. Ok folks... these are not macks.
I lightened up the weights.... BLAM.. 17 inch sheepie! Oh yeah. The action continues and then just before we run out of bait BLAM.. 19 incher caught by my daughter!
Overall a good day. No bait or Macks were seen though. They must have still be scattered.
Nice going the smiles tell it all
Sheepshead will flat out clean your bait bucket out. They are on fire on the reef off Steinhatchee right now. Can't believe the boats that were out there in those gail force winds saturday
Love me some sheepies...
That's good eatin right there!
