Super User J Francho Posted June 10, 2015 Super User Posted June 10, 2015 Unmistakably a drum, or sheepshead as they're known up here. Quote
tholmes Posted June 10, 2015 Posted June 10, 2015 Yep, that's a drum. They're lots of fun to catch, they fight hard, just not much stamina. Some folks say they're good eating, but I've never tried them. Tom Quote
Siebert Outdoors Posted June 10, 2015 Posted June 10, 2015 Ask OOMOD, he knows for sure. PS, Its a drum. 1 Quote
Global Moderator Bluebasser86 Posted June 11, 2015 Global Moderator Posted June 11, 2015 Goo!! I affectionately refer to them as a Dorkfish. 1 Quote
dead end canal Posted June 11, 2015 Posted June 11, 2015 Yep, that's a drum. They're lots of fun to catch, they fight hard, just not much stamina. Some folks say they're good eating, but I've never tried them. Tom Coming from a saltwater background, I was surprised how easily they gave up compared to a black drum or a redfish. 1 Quote
OntarioFishingGuy Posted June 12, 2015 Posted June 12, 2015 Most freshwater fish fight less hard than saltwater fish. The first time I went saltwater fishing I was astounded at how hard the fish fought for their size. Quote

Ojurb Posted June 12, 2015 Posted June 12, 2015 So whats de difference between that and a redfish? I was told it was the same thing, but that one didn't have the red dot? Quote
Super User J Francho Posted June 12, 2015 Super User Posted June 12, 2015 They are different species. That and if course one lives in freshwater, the other salt. Quote
Ojurb Posted June 12, 2015 Posted June 12, 2015 oh I see,I looked for freshwater drum and found it. Quote
Brett Strohl Posted June 13, 2015 Posted June 13, 2015 I've eaten them in a mess with other fish and couldn't tell a difference. Quote
