I was out eeling off of Block Islands South Shore..Black Rock and in the rips there was hundreds of dogfish at the surface. This was before sundown. The fish were just slowly crusing with their fins sticking above the surface. At first I thought that it was going to be one hell of a great night for stripers. But they all turned out to be dogs. Has anyone seen this before or can you explain what the sharks were doing. The other thing was that I caught a striper with an umbrella rig in his jaw, what are the odds of that?
Finally a bluefish jumped into my boat and said hello. Then I knew it was time to go home.
