Fresh Fish

I had an offer to go fishing with our landlord on Palm Island.

No trout but we did catch 7 nice Sheepshead. These fish feed on the barnicles of dock pilings, have an incredible set of teeth and a reputation for being tasty. Put 1/2 a shrimp on a straight hook and sink it along a piling to the bottom. These fish will steal your bait but if you have the "feel" you can get them. Nice fight and you have to be fast or they will wrap you around the piling. A few snapper and grouper were had but no size to them.


Good eating....today a chowder!
