Dog Pound Too Much - Spiny Dogfish - Yuck!!!

[tattoobob]

The thing that bothered me was I thought I had a really nice fish on and when I got the fish to shore and put my light on it was a stupid shark, this is the second time this has happened to me the big ones fight pretty hard.
So to me it is kinda a kick in the Balls

They are bad here in NJ also.My buddie runs/owns a bottom fishing boat.They target fluke seabass in the summer months.when we get a wind outa the south that brings a dip in water temps they take over.Like the bottom is paved wit em.

finaddict, i understand what you are saying. i don't have much in historical references when it come to dogfish, but one theory could explain why the dogs are being seen in places they normally haven't.

maybe their population has expanded to recovered levels, along with the fact that maybe they are taking over the place of the cod in the food chain. it isn't crazy to think that this might be an explanation, in my eyes.
