Sheepshead are in
Went out Saturday in all that heavy fog and made it safely 17.7 miles out of the Stein to the shrimpboat wreck. The water was clear enough to make out the hull in 38 ft. No Amberjack at all but there was a sizeable number of sheepshead and gag grouper down there. Another boat was using live shrimp and doing well on both species. The bite was a bit hard for us with only boating four sheep's on frozen shrimp with several cutoffs.When cleaning them, I found the roe sacks in a very premature stage of development. I plan on getting back out asap but the real bite should be near the full moon in March.
The water temp was 61 degrees which surprised me a bit. I thought that it would be a bit cooler. Seahag Marina says that the ARS are holding good numbers of fish.

Thanks for the report. BTW, I haven't had a bad roe sack yet. Snappers are sweet. I hate seeing it going to waste having been raised on mullet roe/gizzards. Gizzards were always the first to go.

Re: Sheepshead are in
thanks for the report searaydiver! We were out running around for triple tail Saturday and the conditions were great once the fog burned off.
Marcus, how do you prepare the roe? I haven't used the roe sacks but would love to give it a try. |
