Dog fishn abuse
Am I wrong when I just whip these bastages into the surf? I usually anchor them by stepping rite above there tail fin spike, then grab them by the nose, pull it up, release the hook, then lob by the nose quickly, so I don't get whacked by the tail spike. If they swim back in, I let the gulls take care of them. What's your guys take on how you should be treating these nasty varmits?????

I don't see any reason to purposefully kill ANY species that I'm not going to keep for the table.
|
Three-fourths of the Earth's surface is water, and one-fourth is land. It is quite clear that the good Lord intended us to spend triple the amount of time fishing as taking care of the lawn.

In general if I catch anything that is not intended for my table I treat it with respect and release as quickly and gently as possible. If it is intended for the table I also treat it with respect and deal with it as quickly as possible. This is also what I am teaching my daughters to do.

I don't torture them either. I just give them a nice quick toss so I don't get lanced. I guess I could just grab them by the tail and release them a bit nicer. I just get so darn frustrated with those things. They were so thick this weekend they were finning the surface off of Race pt. During the day, I couldn't even get my bait to the bottom without getting one. They wreck your rigs to boot. I hate them!!!!

Whats the best way to handle a dog? I know the little spine behind the dorsal is nasty, but having been cautious around the mouth, do they have teeth? Any other things to look out for than that spine?

Don't let 'em slap you with their tail either, they'll give you a mean road rash scrape. They do have teeth but they're so small they won't cut you but they can break a finger or two if your digits are in their mouth when they clamp down and start thrashing around.

Insanity is a long and winding road ... I think I finally made it there.

They have two spines, one behind each dorsal fin. Its rearmost one that gets most guys, but I have seen guys get it from the forward one as well. Just be very careful handling them. Stepping on thier tail while trying to unhook them is one way to reduce the risk. |
