7/22/08 Afternoon Sheepshead Bite!
This afternoon we started out with some sheepshead fishing and the bite was steady. We fished for a couple hours and had about 50 strikes. Chicks definately rule today as Holly landed half of the fish brought aboard with the largest fish of the afternoon. But,,,, Steve did catch the first Sheepshead. We spent the last hour looking for some reds. We located a school of about 100 reds on a large sand flat but after tracking these fish for 20min. and then forcing them into a deeper pocket in the back of the bay, a commercial fishermen came flying across the the bay, past our boat, and right next to the school of fish. They spooked and scattered and we moved into deeper water. Guess you can't win them all... sorry guys!
