Congrats for the great fishing! Seems that you guys had a lot of fun!
Do you hunt those striped fishes in the shallow waters with rocky bottoms/rubbles?
Despite the colour, they have the same shape of our sargs/chitas, and man hunting for those is very nice in those shallow and currenty waters.
Cheers,
Roberto

Hey Roberto!
We predominantly hunt those fish in shallow murky water, however they are found in all water columns (I have shot them from 3-100 feet deep). They eat barnacles, oysters, clams, and other small shellfish that inhabit rocky areas. Here in charleston we find them on any structure as ever piece of structure here is covered in oysters and barnacles.
Very fun fish to shoot and always plenty of them as long as you stay calm and quiet when hunting.

I count 21fish between 6 mentioned spearo's. Thats not even 4 fish per spearo!! Soooo, why would a spearo want to sell his 4 fish?? Doubt that'll even cover the cost of the breakfast the guys had!! :duh :duh

Did I miss something? There is nothing I can interpret as rude or inconsiderate in nomad's question.
To me it's odd how some people will eat Sheepshead. Very few people dine on these were I'm from. The same goes for mullet. On the east coast of Florida it is strictly a bait fish, but on the upper west coast of Florida there are restraunts dedicated to serving smoked mullet!
Dynamic world we live in, indeed!

Yes, you did. Have a look at this section and see how many times the question: "did you eat it or sell it :ban :ban " is asked. Its a pet hate of mine!!
Since the internet isn't a meduim that allows us to see the other persons expressions, we use smileys to indicate the tone of the message. With that in mind, read the message:
Its BECAUSE of posts like this that many users stop posting picture of their trips. They get grilled over why they shoot so many fish and whether they sell their fish, etc, etc, etc. Don't take my word on that, read the other trip reports and see how often that crops up.
You surely don't think that the fish is simply shot, photographed and then thrown away!!! :hmm :hmm

I’m very sorry for you that you have taken offence by my use of a smiley, I understand that these are used to give insight into the thought of the person posting but you have to understand it was posted to simply highlight the fact of the need for an inclusion into your report of the days fishing what you intended to do with the catch taken, If you could see the angle I was coming from you probably would look at the matter differently. i.e. new or visiting user after information about our sport in general, without a explanation of what happens to the catch it could be misinterpreted as killing for sport, these days holding on to our rights to hunt the way we do requires thought of how we represent ourselves on this and any other forum, we should never take for granted that the person viewing the post is simply reading for pleasure...we don’t need to give ammunition. If a smiley offends you how would killing for sport offend? Inform don’t assume we all know :head
Hey guys!
The fish were cleaned and are now in my freezer..it was empty so we needed a good trip. Sheepshead are good eating, we fry them mostly but they are good on the grill and baked too.
The mullet was shot for bait (when we go catfishing)
I gave 6 of the bigger fish to a buddy of mine who hasn't been able to get on the water in a while...
I have a chance to sell the fish I shoot. Especially those sheepshead. The market is not very good for them as they only fetch a bout .50 to 1 dollar per pound...and I need a 50 lbs minimum to bring to the fish house. Too much trouble and I'm not in it for the money.
