Braddocks Bay Sheep Haed

[kstitan8]

Got out last night in the kayak out of Braddocks bay. Made the trip across the to the west side of the bay, out into the lake a bit. I was fishing the tips of the long concrete docks for smallies and somehow managed to hook up with a decent sheep head on crank bait. Never caught one of these before.

They are always a blast to catch. Very underrated fish IMO. Bet it was neat angling from a kayak. Nice fish.

Thanks, Fishing from a kayak is great, a ton of fun when you hook up and get to go for a little ride. Like I said, this is my first sheepshead, I thought I had a smallie with the fight it gave and the flash of brown I saw below, but was pleasantly surprised by my first sheepshead, also surprised that it took my fast retrieved crank bait.

I like sheepshead, sometimes I refer to them as the ugly bass. They seem to hit anything bass will and put up a similar fight.
