Dogfish in the river?

[Westport Jeff]

Fished the entrance to the Westport River Satruday evening and to my surprize we were catching dogfish.

I did not realize they would be in this area. Some blues mixed in. All after dark on chunks.

Is this typical? Hope not, they are a pain.

Clear evening, nice temps and shooting stars. Perfect evening except the dogs.

only been there a few times this year, but yeah... i think ive caught 3-4 there this summer.

that doesnt count the gooseberry count as well... add 2 more


didnt catch a one the 3-4 times we were out there last year.
phase? or invasion... or just luck

WJ I have been fishing the islands most of the summer and doing very good but Sunday night I did not feel like making the run over so I fished Westport to Dumpling Rock Datrmouth and got dogs all the way. Even got dogs at Allens pond with the water moving out fast Did get a few small bass but its back to the islands for me.
