crab · 09-03-07, 12:18 PM

We caught them around Pelee Island canada.

bassfisher02 · 09-03-07, 12:23 PM

Nice smallies.

Thats a sheepshead? I didnt think they were common in freshwater, much less an actual lake.

JB · 09-03-07, 12:27 PM

02,
eries full of sheephead, most guys slap them on the bow of the boat and toss them back in...they fight really well, and you think you have a 13 lb toemain devil (walleye), they it turns out to be a purring sheephead that craps on you.

crab · 09-03-07, 12:27 PM

We caught a bunch of those up there! We call them sheepheads up here you might call them something different. Like drum,white perch,goats etc. They are not the saltwater sheephead.

bassfisher02 · 09-03-07, 12:29 PM

Oh ok, yeah not the same fish I was refferring too, I didnt think it was, it doesnt resemble the saltwater sheephead.

texasbasser · 09-03-07, 03:53 PM

Nice fish! That sheephead looks alot like a saltwater black drum, guess they are freshwater too up there?

wargoth · 09-03-07, 05:06 PM

Sheephead = Freshwater Drum. Annoying fish that taste like crap, but they do serve a purpose, cleaning up the crap in the lake. Anyways, another real hotspot for smallies in "The Puddle" up here is about a mile or so off the Perry nuclear power plant. The bottom is very rocky out there, and there is a water outlet from the cooling towers that sends up a pillar of water that them smallies love to hang around. I've nabbed many a 7 pounder out there.

JB · 09-03-07, 06:14 PM

wargoth, i forgot about that place...have you ever heard that gun they shoot off? we used to have friends in Huron and went to erie every couple of weeks to walleye/perch fish....

wargoth · 09-03-07, 06:32 PM

Dunno what gun you are talking about, but I was just out on the lake yesterday for perch, unfortunately they have been very much off and on this year, and yesterday was more off than on. My dad, sister, daughter and I only brought in 14 for the day... Oh well, better than working.

JB · 09-03-07, 06:45 PM

I think its some kind of army reserve training area, we used to put in at winkys docks and go by it...I keep thinking perrysburg for a name, I know thats not right tho lol

bassfisher02 · 09-03-07, 07:08 PM

Well the Saltwater sheepshead are very tasty and fun to catch.

brushhog · 09-03-07, 10:32 PM

Crab, Where did you charter out of? My sister lives in Western New York and we are looking to charter someting on Erie next spring... Anybody got any references? By the way, great fish!!

Super Fluke · 09-03-07, 11:29 PM

How much did they wieght?

wargoth · 09-04-07, 11:56 AM

Perrysburg is in the far western end of the lake, Perry is in the Central Basin about 50 miles east of Cleveland... little bit of distance between them. I rarely get out to the western basin for fishing.

BigBassin144 · 09-06-07, 04:23 PM

Nice smallie, good sized sheephead too. all I caught on my first perch fishing trip was sheephead. they put up a nice fight, but perch are tasty!!

Perch = Food. Sheephead = Garbage Disposal Service...
