Members edmashburn Posted October 2, 2011 Members Posted October 2, 2011 Well,, it feels like fall down here on the Gulf Coast- at least,as close to fall as it gets. Today was cool and clear and windy- good day for sailing, not so good for fishing. I enjoy reading the posts on this site from Mr. Berry about the White River and Crooked Creek fishing- I do miss those two places very much. I haven't been able to fish too much lately- went last weekend- we caught a bunch of small speckled trout and a nice sheepshead- I'll try to post a photo of one of these fish. They look funny, but they pull hard and taste very good. I may not be fishing much for a while- got surgery on my leg next week- ruptured an achilles tendon. Uncomfortable. I hope you all have a great fall season up there. If the cold gets too intense in the Ozarks, load up and head to the Gulf- the fishing and the weather stay hot- well, warm- all winter long. Good fishing to all- Ed Mashburn
Members edmashburn Posted October 3, 2011 Author Members Posted October 3, 2011 Here's a photo of a sheepshead. This one went about six pounds, I think. they eat shellfish and have teeth like a girl from Arkansas- big and stuck out, if you know what I mean. Lots of fun to catch on properly sized tackle. Good fishing to all- Ed Mashburn
junkman Posted October 3, 2011 Posted October 3, 2011 I remember seeing those sheepshead eating barnacles off the pier pilings. but never seen one that big. Nice catch and good luck on your surgery.
kevthebassman Posted October 3, 2011 Posted October 3, 2011 Achilles surgery is a real pain, so I hear. Long road to recovery, but my Grandpa had it a few years ago and he's still umpiring baseball and reffing volleyball at 77 years young.
joeD Posted October 3, 2011 Posted October 3, 2011 Who gives a f*** about your sheepshead. What does it have to do with Missouri fishing? Oh. Sorry. You are from Missouri. Continue. We await with baited breath with regard to your next Gulf of Mexico fish. Oops. Sorry edmashburn. I've been told to be nice. Yes, of course we are interested with salt water fishing. That is why it's called the Ozark Angler Forum.
Members edmashburn Posted October 3, 2011 Author Members Posted October 3, 2011 JoeD- I am sorry if my posts offend you. Do us both a favor and when you see my name on a post, just skip over it. Good fishing to all- Ed Mashburn
snagged in outlet 3 Posted October 3, 2011 Posted October 3, 2011 I enjoy your posts about the Gulf. We fish every time we go to Florida. Usually the Destin area. Keep it up. SIO3
Justin Spencer Posted October 3, 2011 Posted October 3, 2011 I love the posts, I lived on the Treasure Coast for 4 years and start to miss it this time each year. Those sheepshead are good eating, but are hell on a fillet knife, not easy to hook either with rock hard mouths.
