nice sheepie ! try taking a hoe with you and scraping the piling or structure you are fishing to get em excited, seems to work for us up here. Peter, we catch both togs and sheepies at the same time in the same place, both fun fish to catch- they love those fiddlers too!!!!

Those Sheephead are a lot of fun. I kind of think of them as the blackfish of the south

Looks like a striped porgy (scup)

Bryan,

I say Blackfish of the south because they can get big (I have caught them to 10 pounds & they get bigger than that), and they got teeth like blackfish.

Regarding the fight I think that the Blackfish fight harder in the beginning (trying to get back into the rocks), but then kind of give up whereas the Sheephead fight like a 10 pound sunny/porgie. At least that's my biased take.
