Great catch on fly... wish I had a nickel for every sheepie that was tailing like mad and never paid the slightest attention to my flies.... down here in paradise (the 'glades, along the shallow coastal areas on cold days...).

Good god. That thing could eat corn off the cobb through a picket fence.

That Sheepie had braces when he was a teenager! Nice catch!!!

Thanks for the push bonecracker! I won’t soon forget this big ole joker eating my new shrimp fly! I’m gonna go see his dentist at my next checkup!

The infamous cajun permit! I don't keep many fish to eat, but that is one that I usually do keep. Very nice!

I've started shooting them with an el cheapo bow fishing rig. Not very sporting but they make the excellent ceviche and Louisiana allows consumption aboard the vessel.


1or 2 limes, squeezed. If local oranges are in season you can use one orange and 1 lime
1 sweet onion, chopped
1 or 2 Jalapeños, diced
2 or 3 Romas, cored and chopped
Pinch of corse salt
1 Sheephead, cut into cubes

Sometimes if pineapple are in season a cubed pineapple spear adds a nice touch. Also a small apple can give it a satisfying little crunch. Occasionally I'll throw a little piece of garlic in the bag but you need to keep an eye on it and take it out or the garlic can take over.

Toss everything in a 1 gallons ziplock, squeeze out the air, and throw it in the ice chest until the citrus denatures the proteins in the fish. The flesh will become firm and white. Makes a great boat snack by itself or on a flour tortilla with a little sour cream, avocado, and hot sauce.

Nice convict guys. On my bucket list for this winter.

JM, that ceviche recipe sounds delicious. Our local newspaper outdoors writer who unfortunately passed away a couple months ago always talked about cubing sheepshead and boiling the cubes until white. Served with melted butter he claimed it tasted just like lobster. I haven't tried it that way yet but always did enjoy the flavor of fresh sheepie.

I spent some time in Santiago, Chile and became a huge fan of ceviche. I’m going to have to give that recipe a whirl! Thanks!

I make ceviche with smaller redfish quite a bit, blood line cut out and all red removed from the fillet. Recipe similar to yours, though I like to add avocado as well. Sometimes I'll finely mince some fresh mint and toss it in for a nice bit of freshness.

Now we are talkin!! We do that all the time when fishing offshore, the question is what species of fish will we use today??

Tell me you stayed at delacroix Joe's camp!

Tell me you stayed at delacroix Joe's camp!

Went on Airbnb and not a lot of choices in or around the water. Ended up staying at The Delacroix Lodge which were nice trailers on wheels that would sleep 4-5, kitchen, bathroom/shower, TV, and above all clean. They were a hell of a lot better sleeping arrangements than the last time I was there.

Hokey Smokes! I want to go fishing with you! I will pole the whole day just to earn whatever lunch you are making.
