How are ya all doin, good game so far, fiesty!!

I have a question. Does anyone know if there is a solution to dogfish?? Ive been fishing a nice series of rock shelves here in the basin and we have been getting good number of bass with some size 33# being the biggest. But we get about 3 dogfish to every stripers fishing live and chunkled macks. Now i heard that if ya get one and gut it then throw it over the side then the smell of the dead shark would repel other dogfish from comeing in the area. So i tried it and well we did catch fewer dogfish but I think it might of been a fluke. Just a question as Im headin out tonight, 48 ft tide with the moon whooohooo. Anywyas jsut woundering if anyone has any input or tips on what you guys do. Moving is an option I suppose but its the same everywhere.

thanks
Brian
