My little kid would be the champion dogfish catcher...He enjoys them! he likes the fight and likes petting them while I unhook and untangle the mess they make.
He wants to take them home and try eating them..."they look kewl dad...why can't we eat them?!"

The Brits eat them as fish and chips (I know that is not saying much!) but think about what a lobster eats.....how bad can it be?

i personally think every single one should be be-headed and thrown back!
there only good for one thing, shark bait!
last year it was so bad we were getting them inside the harbor in three feet of water, while trying to eel for bass in the rocks.
good job marine fisheries managers!
lets protect the most abundant destructive,worthless, spieces in our waters. while all the baitfish are gobbled up left and right!

They were'nt this bad a couple of years ago.
I believe they closed the "dog" fishery in 2002'. or early 2003'.
Now we got a Shiet load of em'.
They were so thick last season, we were bumping them while they finned on the surface..I think its gonna be worse this year.  |

I was out on the boat a couple seasons ago with a couple friends, the girlfriend at the time, and a family friend (OLD SCHOOL fisherman). He insisted that live eels could outfish Sluggos any time, any where... he commenced to feed a dozen eels to the dogfish one right after the next while we caught bass up to 20lbs... after every dog he caught though, he would literally CRACK them in half... so they swam away on top of the water... I was a little grossed out, but the girlfriend was almost in tears... he was sure he was doing some help for us all there.. I decided to play "guide" for the rest of the trip and take off his dogfish for him.
The girlfriend, however, she's long gone

crackin' em is a highly used tactic, on the party boats.
however be-heading 'em, you can leave 'em in a bucket to bleed out, and save there blood for later use.

de-heading, is better.

Ok guys - to a relative newbie with no boat.
any suggestions on where to land-em on shore?
You do not have to burn any striper spots. But I wouldn't mind tackling a couple of dog-fish. Would like to try a work out with light tacle.
I also have some nephews coming to visit this year, and I am sure they would get a real charge out of it.

Keep lines wet and tight in the pacific

LAst year i saw people catching them like it was going out of style from the east end of the canal, guess thats what ya get for fishing the bottom out there. GReat fishing for them there, littlerally every cast they were coming in. That was about august on thru late october. The beaches around falmouth seem to kick out a fair number of them from this time of year on if my memory serves me right, and that was back in the mid 90's when they werent quite as plentiful.

This is great and all, but letting them go to have a happy dogfish life is a far better choice.
I'd think the old days of how people used to catch fish/kill fish/cause the state of the fishery as it is today would have taught people not to be goddamn retards. |

y
let them go to live happy dogfish lives?
why?
so they can gobble up every single baitfish that roams the atlantic?
there's two problems in the western atlantic right now.
trawlers, and dogfish.
the former can't target the latter, so the latter dominates the food chain.

urinate threw their skin? that must suck when they have to get dressed up for a wedding or something.
Likwid, I would tend to agree with you from a conservation standpoint... I don't like the thought of killing for no purpose either. I saw a mate do that on a cod boat many years ago and it kinda pissed me off.
But I guess they are really overpopulated. Kinda like deer in my home state of PA. I don't like the idea of hunting. I don't particularly see the sport in blowing away a deer with a high powered rifle. But the heards need thinned out.
At least you eat a deer vs. just destroying a dogfish and throwing it back in, but they are getting out of control.
And the good news is that no food goes to waste in the ocean. Something will feed off them.
