sheeps going crazy

[montana49er]

Have been pulling spinners and half crawler on weed lines, and the Drum have been going crazy the last few days. With a few bonus Eyes. Drum fight good and eyes taste good.

I agree, they are fun to catch.

Even though there is that feeling of disappointment every time they are close enough to see!!

I read an article in the Minnesota Conservationist magazine that said that drum out of cold water is a similar tasting fish to walleye??? I tried smoking one last year, I didn't care for it.

Does anyone eat Sheephead?

Lol, About the 3rd head shake you know it's not a walleye

I agree! Because a sheepie actually has enough fight to provide a 3rd head shake. LOL

I haven't tried eating one yet but a friend does, and I've heard from others that they are bright white and delish.

i eat them all the time oughta waconia and mazaska and ocassionally tetonka. id never eat one oughta french tho. i mean i dont target them but they go in the live well if i do. same with largemouths, crappies, whitebass, bullhead, pike, sunfish, the occasional carp for smokin, CATFISH (i love me some catfish), perch, smallmouths, rockbass. about the only thing im not down with eating is roughfish in the mn river, and also like suckers and stuff. oh ya and muskie and sturgeon are safe too. although id eat me sum muskie if they let you keep em under 30 inches.

I've cleaned sheeps before and fed them to people. They have a totally different texture and are very flakey, almost like a cod IMO.

I don't eat fish, but I hear people do like them.

I ate sheepshead out of Lake Erie a few years ago and thought it was very good. White and flakey. We baked the fish with lemon and some herbs.

The people who say you can't eat Drum are people who have never tried it.

It is as good as Crappie, sunfish, Perch, or Northern Pike. Do these fish taste like Walleye? No. Are they good eating? Yes.

I fryed some up the other day with butter, lemon and capers. Right on the river bank. Yum!

There is nothing wrong with the taste of Drum, unless you are one of those that say you only eat Walleye. Then the only thing wrong is you,
