Eight Pointer
Finally got the boat out to the coast for some sheephead fishing. I've caught them off the pier but never got after em' in a boat. Wow. What tricky little bass turds these things can be. Day one we went through 48 crabs and boated two fish, had plenty on but only brought two over the rails. You could say I was out of practice, which would be accurate...as I zeroed. That said, day two I got in the groove and went 3 for 4. I got tight on four nice sheep and landed three of them. I'd call that success. This might be my favorite fish to chase, elusive, tricky, and powerful; the full test of an anglers ability. It takes a deft hand to feel them bite and then BOOM! dynamite, you're lashed to a train of horses...it's too much fun. See photos attached. I love these fish and they taste as good as they fight.
