Morning Sheep

Posted on July 15, 2022 by admin

Stan Simmerman and I ran out after sheep this morning. Apparently, I was just along to net Stan’s fish and the take photographs. Stan caught a sheep and some tautog. I helped clear out some oyster toads and did catch a single tautog.

Sunrise

Made a quick sunrise trip before work this morning. No known houndfish encounters though I did have some bites not stay tight so I am not sure. None did the crazy run, jumping thing though. What I did hold onto were a bluefish which messed up my new lure that was still good enough for a puppy drum.

Back For Breakfast

Made a morning Independence Day run for sheepshead. I lucked out on the exact right spot. Caught 7 sheepshead right away. Left them biting. Kept a limit of sheep and a keeper tautog. Stopped at Dare Marina to weigh in a citation and made it back home for breakfast. I love it when the fishing is great close to home!

Morning Trips

Posted on July 1, 2022 by admin
Yesterday, I did a quick trip before work. The haul sein operation was working. I caught a little bluefish and 5 houndfish. Pulled off a puppy drum and another not-houndfish of some species.
This morning I made a trip to the reef. Caught an eagle ray and broke my rod. Bishop Fishing Supply has already replaced it. I caught a nice sheep, didn’t catch others. Caught a flounder, several tautog and a black drum all before lunch. I also got to watch Hunter Southall and a just retired Charles Southall along with a long retired Steve Martin catch a few sheep and some gray trout. It was Steve Martin‘s first ever sheepshead so I got to watch an historic event.

Another Good Morning

No trout today…just very aggressive houndfish. The sheep came out to play again. Caught 3 and a surprise triggerfish. I have heard of them being caught inside the bay but this was a first for me. Back home for lunch.

Sheepish Monday

Posted on June 20, 2022 by admin

I ran out to try for a sheepshead today. Stopped in the shallows for sunrise. Caught a houndfish. Went on out and tried for a sheep. Caught one at 25 inches. Saw a cobia but did not get a cast on it. Overall, I was pretty pleased with my morning until I started getting texts from Hunter Southall and Mike Hurst. They were after sheep also but did some sight-fishing while waiting for better conditions. They had their limit of cobia then I started getting sheep photos…like a countdown, until they had their sheep limit also. I did pick up another sheepshead and a couple of black drum to finish out my day. Good way to spend a Monday.
