I dont need to read a report to know that, having bottom fished my whole life and seen a dogfish eat numerous live and dead baits, I dont believe they are just scavangers... Skates are scavangers, Dogs are predators...

I caught dogfish, on diamond jigs, while catching sea herring in December last year, 20ft down in 100ft of water.. are they scavanging the herring on the bottom out of the nets, maybe? But are they up in the water colomn hunting the schools of herring too? you bet your ass, Do I believe they eat juvenille cod? Yup, they eat every other GD bait we use. they hunt, and when one finds something, they swarm... they are a suprisingly aggressive fish....
Maybe you dont know everything... just because a comm fisherman says something that might benefit him or her, it doesnt mean it isn't true...
