ugh dogfish

How are ya all doin, good game so far, fiesty!!

I have a question. Does anyone know if there is a solution to dogfish?? Ive been fishing a nice series of rock shelves here in the basin and we have been getting good number of bass with some size 33# being the biggest. But we get about 3 dogfish to every stripers fishing live and chunkled macks. Now i heard that if ya get one and gut it then throw it over the side then the smell of the dead shark would repel other dogfish from comeing in the area. So i tried it and well we did catch fewer dogfish but I think it might of been a fluke. Just a question as Im headin out tonight, 48 ft tide with the moon whooohooo. Anywyas jsut woundering if anyone has any input or tips on what you guys do. Moving is an option I suppose but its the same everywhere.

thanks
Brian

Why are these dogfish protected again? They are a nuisance as far as I'm concerned..

Can we hear more about this 48' tide? How fast does it run, do the fish still feed on it etc...

well it was another fun night many fish over 10# at least which around here is pretty good but still alot of dogfishies.

I thought the 48 foot tide would draw some attention. Basically all the fish done in these waters is tidal. At low tide here in the Minas basin ya have a verying degree of distance it goes out on a flat it can go out about a kilometer maybe more along the rocks it a little different but it'll go from no water to well 40 +feet which is pretty cool. The current is very very strong and you have to be carefull you can see it just rippin by but its good for bass. The fish come in with the tides as the baitfish are usually pushed up against the rocks so the bass follow as you know slamming smelt, herring, tomcod, shrimp you name but that is what i found in the guts so far. There is really no surfcasting here jsut becasue there are no beaches with drops or reefs type deal its all flat and mud and when the tide comes in you jsut keep on moving so you would only be casting to a few feet of water each time. At slack and falling tide you would be able to get a few rips in tho but time is the key! We catch most fish as the tide comes in and at slack and a few at falling but I think as soon as the the tide switches the baitfish know they gotta head er back out so the bass follow makeing tracking them a little difficult.
Fall is the best time and the big mammas should be soon in there eating as much as possible. which means ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ screaming drags!



take er easy
