Hey there fishbuster, i've got a good question for you. When you clean a sheepshead, how do you do it? When I say that, I mean do you fillet through the rib cage or around it. I catch hell trying to cut through the rib cage because they are so thick, and i'm a little hesitant about cutting around it because i'm affraid of hacking up the fillet.
I've got a buddy that fillet's them with an electric knife, but I can't do it. Every time I try, I end up cutting the fish nearly in half. LOL Filleting a fish, in my opinion, is an art. I do it by feel.
Also, do you have a good recipe for them? I'm going to keep more this season, as I also target them. The sheephead action will be at it's prime this month through april. I'll start hitting the water off the coast here in about 2 weeks. [cool]
