[@elmerburley7710]

I've never seen a sheepshead that looks like that looks more like a drum

[@woodsnweedsoutdoors.2214]

Yeah it’s a freshwater drum , same difference

[@SattaBoysOutdoors]

Nice sheepshead! Those are some toads! I catch them every once in a while on the st. Lawrence but only caught 3 out of lake champlain.

One more reason why I don't understand why people target little whimpey bass

[@woodsnweedsoutdoors.2214]

Lol. I do target bass, some are not whimpy though

[@fishingmaster99]

Nice Drums!

I've gotten a few sheep Heads up there Champlain few times

[@kyledoherty3994]

What bait are you using to catch these?

[@woodsnweedsoutdoors.2214]

Ned rigs

@@woodsnweedsoutdoors.2214 can you find drum stacked up like this on Reefs in Champlain? Where are some good spots to target then this time of year on the Lake rather than the rivers? Spots like Otter Creek etc get pounded from shore.

@@kyledoherty3994 yes some reefs. They hang around bridge pillars alot also. Basically anywhere you find zebra mussles lol
