Wow! That was some CRAZY action Guys! NEVER seen anyone free net a sheep like that! I do appreciate you talking about the conservation side of the fishery. The are some KZreadrs that are not that respectful of the resource, and act like everyone should stock their freezers with these spawning fish. We do not want to see this fantastic fishery abused. As always, great video Capt!

And absolutely, I used to be the same way admittedly… but the more I fish the more I want our great fishery to continue and grow so the next generation can enjoy it. So the first step is to release the biggens when you can

In Austin texas today at a Central Market which is like our high end grocery store for fresh seafood I got amazed at the cost of two certain types of fish. Redfish fillets are $24.99 per pound and Red Snapper is $29.99 per pound. All these years of being a machinist and I think I should have a seafood business and be a fishmonger. The last time my brother and I went to the coast I probably could have paid off the new 200 Suzuki hanging off the back of the boat.

@CaptCollier

Жыл бұрын

Yes. Very small egg sinker. It’s a “knocker” rig. Very simple but effective.

You said not to use light line. I agree but? Keep in mind your records you spoke of? Are ALL line lb test related. If you were to set out to set a new state record sheepshead? Go out there with 6 lb test line & look up the record for 6 lb test. You may never land it but BET you hook up with that record several times. Think about trying it? For the hell of it.

Don’t leave fish to find other fish… I’ve learned the same thing about thermals in paragliding. So good. 👍

They will hit just the hook itself.

Sheephead population is unbelievable high. I say keep as many as you want. We would say they're as thick as pollution. Steam the fillets cool and use canned tuna fish recipe. Mayo celery onion etc.
