My father and brother are on a fishing trip in NC. Southern Outter Banks area. They are fishing some jetties and as you can see from the pictures picking up a lot of bluefish and trout. The trout shown are only the ones they kept. My Father said it was a fish on every third cast kind of day.
Anyway, the locals are calling the fish that my dad is holding “sheep heads.” My dad questioned it because it didn’t look like the sheeps we catch down here in Charleston. But they all swore that’s what they are. I thought they looked like a black drum but not quite.
Anyone know what the striped fish in these pictures are?
Good advice except that these fish were all already consumed. If my Dad ever goes back I’ll try to remember to remind him next year. They had a local friend with them who fishes these waters all the time. I’m sure he wouldn’t steer them wrong.
Black drum taste pretty much like redfish. In a blind taste test, 6 out of 7 drunk fishermen couldn’t tell the difference. The 7th guy had already passed out, and was unavailable for comment.
If you’re lucky enough to be fishing, you’re lucky enough.
