What kinda fish is this. Do they get very big. What kinda bait should you use to catch some. What kinda area will they hang out. Are they eatable. Unscramble this and use it to get some bait. BAKISI

Black drum. Live bait, dead bait, artificial baits. Have caught them everywhere I’ve caught redfish and speckled trout. The smaller the tastier. Sabiki.

I believe that would be a sheepshead, Mike. They like to hang out around rocks, pilings and eat barnacles. You can catch them on ghost shrimp, live shrimp, sand fleas and other critters. The word is sabiki, as in a sabiki rig used to catch bait fish.

Oh, it has whiskers, it could be a black drum. I would have to see the teeth to be sure.

Tough call between the drum and sheepshead . Sabikis are great on baitfish. My granddaughter kept her Dad and I supplied in bait for a while day when she was 8

Black Drum, can be found where ever Red Drum are found. Live or dead shrimp work, as well as small bait such as minnows, or similar types. If you can find them you can catch them! Just Sayin...RJS

We have both the fresh and salt water drum. The freshwater drum, known as a gaspergoo, or goo for short. Then we have the salt water drum that is larger, much larger.

We've been down this road before. Hands down, Black Drum. Note the dorsal fin on the drum, almost two separate fins unlike the sheephead (one continuous fin) that Fishrmans pic depicts. The whiskers, only on a black drum. The teeth, large and front on a sheephead, in the back on a drum. Tail shape and anal fin are shaped differently, shall I go on?? People confuse them because of the black and white prison stripes, but after that it gets easier.

Good job Steve. I don’t think they’re that hard to tell apart. Just looking at the dorsal tells you right away.
