Sheepshead

[weekender]

We caught a couple at Beaufort Wednesday (first day fishing since I broke my leg 3 weeks ago) but spent most of the day searching for flounder, I'm saying searching cause we didn't find a keeper. Thursday we decided to try strickly for sheepshead even though we can no longer tie to the pilings of the bridge, Coast Guard orders. We took our small boat so it would be easier for Kay to handle and me to get in and out of with the cast. First let me thank my wonderful wife who had to get all the stuff together at the house and the coast, she had to catch the fiddler crabs (3 times) 2 times at high tide which ain't easy, she had to hand me this, hand me that, pull the anchor and so on. We did much better than expected with the anchoring and only anchored 2 times all day 9-5. In the first picture you can see what she caught,



and now here is my picture



and maybe one more pic of her



notice I just said my picture, I did not claim to have caught all those, fact is she out caught me about 4 to 1 or worse. She caught the majority of the real nice ones and the biggest one. I used at least 4 times as many crabs as she did, it just was not my turn to shine. I sure do love fishing with my better half.

Serious convict fish carnage Kay and Greg!
Do you set the hook just before they bite?

One heck of a catch, and the fishing ain't too shabby either.

Glad to see you aren't letting the leg get you down.

Biscuit, I think Kay sets the hook about the time he opens his mouth, I wait till he starts to close, she has the preferred technique since she outdone me AGAIN.

Pretty work mr and mrs weekender. Fine, fine catch and great pics. Doesn't look like the cast has slowed you down any.
