Yes Sir…he will remember that for a LONG Time…
I’m tired of being told that I have to “spread the wealth” to people who don’t have my work ethic. I’m tired of being told the government will take the money I earned, by force if necessary, and give it to people too lazy to earn it. I think I’m going fishing…!!
That looks like Mr. Tallon on the left… Good deal on the flounder. Were heading down to dad’s at Garden City on Thursday to do a little fishing too…
It’ll be alright, I’m on vacation!!!

Sheepshead (fish)From Wikipedia, the free encyclopediaJump to: navigation, search Sheepshead
Scientific classification
Kingdom: Animalia
Phylum: Chordata
Class: Actinopterygii
Order: Perciformes
Family: Sparidae
Genus: Archosargus
Species: A. probatocephalus
Binomial name
Archosargus probatocephalus
Walbaum, 1792
See also: California sheephead (Semicossyphus pulcher) and Freshwater drum (Aplodinotus grunniens).
The sheepshead, Archosargus probatocephalus, is a marine fish that grows to 30 in (760 mm), but commonly reaches 10 to 20 in. It is deep and compressed in body shape, with 5 to 6 dark bars on the side of the body over a gray background. It has sharp dorsal spines. Its diet consists of oysters, clams, and other bivalves, and barnacles, fiddler crabs, and other crustaceans.[1]. It has a hard mouth, with several rows of stubby teeth, which help crush the shells of prey.[citation needed]
[edit] FishingAlthough the Sheepshead Bay section of Brooklyn, in New York City, was named after the fish[2], it is almost entirely a southern species: its range extends from the Mid-Atlantic to Texas[3]. As sheepshead feed on bivalves & crustaceans,[citation needed] successful baits include shrimp, sand fleas (molecrabs), clams, fiddler crabs, and mussels.[citation needed] Sheepshead have a knack for stealing bait, so a small hook is necessary.[citation needed] Locating sheepshead in a boat is not difficult: fishermen look for rocky bottoms or places with obstructions, and they try around jetties and the pilings of bridges & piers.[citation needed] The average weight of a sheepshead is 3 to 4 pounds, but some individuals reach the range of 10 to 15 pounds.[4] They are edible.
