[cubicleboy]

Fished from shore in hidden falls this weekend. Used mainly cranks and those plastic crayfish.

1 hour - 5 fish. 2 largemouths (largest was 16 inches)

2 drum (largest about 17 inches) and a 14 inch smallmouth.

Sorry, no scale to weigh them. All released ofcourse.

Sheephead are fun to catch, they put up a bit of a fight.. Though I have never targeted them on pourpose.. I have heard from some, that Sheephead(drum) are very good tasting!.

What kind of cranks do you throw down there?

I was down there from 7-10pm Friday and my fiancee outfished me 5-2. We had a mixed bag of smallies, white bass, sheepies and smallish male 'eyes. We were throwing mimmic minnows and sassy shads.

Sheeped can taste ok if caught in cold water and the smaller fish, but I personally dont go out to catch and clean sheeped.
