Boating & Outdoor Photos - North Florida Sheepshead

Took advantage of the great Florida weather, caught this Sheepshead Sunday at the Mayport Jetties, along with 3 other sheepshead, one Black Drum, 4 Yellow mouth Trout, 6 Bluefish. We had lots of fun and ended up with a nice mess of fish.
GO GATORS!!! :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

Nice photo, great eating fish....Mayport Jetty...My buddy lives up that way... ;) ;cool;

:jk: :jk: :jk:

Hey at least there's some REPRESENTATION of our fine fishery here, huh?

I hate cleaning these things! Even for myself.

JETTY WOLF.....because I'll take big bites!
Rock on!!!!!

Capt Dave,

You just had to burst my bubble. ;? I just wanted to show off a sheepshead that we don't hear much about from the THT's on here.
I don't know if I can tackle a 10 pounder on the light tackle I use, I caught that one on a light action bass rod. It was a lot of fun and great eating. I've caught hundreds off those rocks over the years never a 10 pound plus. You will have to show me sometime where to find the big ones. :thumbsup:

Cool looking fish nice catch

It's really all about "time of year".....that one I'm holding was a beautiful female specimen. She's all colorful and was showing off.
I caught here in the exact same place I catch alot of Trout, Flounder and even a 14 pound Cobia and a 7.5 pound Jewfish this past December, along with it's lil brother a 1.5 pounder.
All within sight of the JFK.

here's the Jewfish.....making a comeback inshore like the good ole days!

South Georgia sheephead.

Stcatfisherman,

That's a nice load of heads, Bet you had a ball catching them..... Whats the size and bag limits in Ga.? :thumbsup: :thumbsup: We run into days like that here too.......

Gonna need at least a dozen brand new fillet knives to tackle that mess. After that trouble, it will be some Gooooood eating.

A good electric fillet knife works wonders, cut right thru the rib cage and then come back and cut it out....... I usually wash the boat and my partner cleans the fish.. Most times I get the better end of that deal :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: and the best part is they are soooooo good to eat :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

Reelfun1 the limit is 15 / person and 10 inch fork length.

Yeah, there a blast to catch and Reelfun to clean.

nice catch and pic. looking forward to gettting over there in March to catch some of those. :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:
