BRIAN0214 Posted September 20, 2010 Share Posted September 20, 2010 Started out at 11 a.m. in 180 fow trolled SW to 210 fow marked fish in 160-180 fow. Trolled back Northeast to 90 fow and caught first fish a small coho 19" long filled with eggs (more on second fish later) 200 feet back on high diver 5:00 p.m. on Silver Steak Glow Yellow Tail (AGAIN!) I spend $50 on new spoons and still only thing I can catch a fish on is THAT spoon! Wind starts blowing 1 footers turning into 3 footers. Decise to hit the Grand Haven channel Throw 3 spoons back in high diver. Within 15 minutes big hit! I am thinking OK a nice four year old! By the way on the Glow Yellow tail again!!! OOOPS not a King!!! Nice 15lb pound sheephead!!! UGH!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KJ pluggin Posted September 20, 2010 Share Posted September 20, 2010 Nice job on the fish Brian! Sounds to me like you might have to get a few more of those yellow tail spoons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BRIAN0214 Posted September 21, 2010 Author Share Posted September 21, 2010 Bob have you ever tried eating Sheephead? Lets just say you must be VERY poor if you think thats lobster!!! Its really really awful!!! Doesn't even taste good fried! I went snubberless on my last trip out..... (there a funny joke there somehere) anyway didn't seem to make a diifrence. Chinook are the fastest growing fish on the planet and Sheephead is one of the slowest. So if you get a big one its VERY OLD!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SUPERTRAMP Posted September 21, 2010 Share Posted September 21, 2010 I second the Sheepshead being nasty, I have tried boiling like in a fish boil, frying and grilling still cant stand the taste. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boblo Posted September 22, 2010 Share Posted September 22, 2010 Have to say it's never hit the taste buds, and after reading your comments chances are it never will....Maybe that is really why they call it poor man's lobster...good luck on your next venture.....----Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
