Re: Attention fellow goat herders...
If I take any they are usually males because then I can get the same amount of meat from one big one as two small ones and then I don't need to shoot as many. For me the most important thing is not going back to the same reef and shooting them every time, try and diversify because they don't move around much. If you wipe out one reef they will likely not return for a long time.

Lobster > Sheephead I still don't understand y'alls fascination with taking sheephead. Sure they make good ceviche. LOTS of fish make good ceviche. The only reason you're taking these fish is cause you don't have the patience or skill to take decent bass. Sheephead are big and dumb and easy to shoot. They look good in a photo. Great. Good for you. Put the time in, learn how to hunt gamefish and leave the sheephead alone so they can do their job on the reef.

You can get more meat out of 1 big sheep head than a limit of 5 decent Calicos.

Re: Attention fellow goat herders...
They charge 17 on their site, but I got the bro deal. No upkeep fees, perks of 2017 outboard. Trailer is McClain made delux version, extended tongue, aluminum with vault hubs, included in 17 price. Think I made out alright.
Only time I mess with sheephead is when I watch them while bugging, but who am I to tell other people what they should and should not shoot..? I usually bark at commercial boats or seals..? How much was the seabro? and how much do you spend upkeeping it? |

Feel free to disagree with me any day of the week but don't get all butt hurt when I express my opinion. The only reason you would get all butt is cause you think I'm actually right... Are you too good to shoot perch? Opaleye? Giant kelpfish? Do you shoot everything that swims in front of you? Do you take kelp crabs? Opihi? Seriously. Are there reasons you don't take these species? I eat what I kill. I have reasons I don't crush sheephead. Don't get pissed cause I told you what they are...

Re: Attention fellow goat herders...
That reminds me of when I visited the N San Fran area. I seen a bunch of seals on the mud flats. So, my FL cracker ass stops, gets out of the car, and starts barking at them. They reacted by looking all attentive and scurrying towards the water.
Anywho, while I'm barking at them this bicyclist comes cruising past me.
