These cuties are Sheepshead, we catch them in the inlet during winter months. Very good eating ! Nice dentures too, remind me of tog.

its like they hybridized a porgy and a blackfish. They taste awesome as well. Taste is also a hybrid of porgy and tog. Wish we still had em up here

Those are some serious dentures! I heard they're very good eating as well and put up a good fight. How far North do they range? Are crabs typically the bait of choice?

We get some up here in south Jersey, I’ve heard of them caught around the red church too, with a pic

Another "remember when" story. That's how Sheepshead Bay got its name. Still the odd one caught occasionally. My last was off the breakwater jetty in Atlantic Highlands from the kayak a long time ago.

used to get them mixed in with porgy and blowfish off the cedars by the old golfballs way back

#livinginthe50s if that even was true which I doubt it with the colder climates back then which we haven’t seen since then or before then:)

I have always been told sheepshead bay was named for the fish. According to wiki it is true.

“The bay was named after the edible fish that used to be caught there”
