Must be fussy sheepheads. Always caught them on worms( now& then a lure)
Use to catch them a lot back in ny- in lake erie , ontario, niagara river.
Was down south more recently when someone( i kinda knew)asked if i had caught anything & i said a bigsheephead- they looked at me like i was a crazy yankee

- but i did remember there proper name Drum & they then understood what i ment.
