South Coast Two days on the dogfish

[Rapunzel]

Went to Cogden on Wednesday/Thursday in pursuit of the elusive Lesser Spotted Dogfish. On Wednesday I used coloured beads and attractors in the daytime, with a size two hook and fresh Black. Craftily swopped to a squid/sandeel combo and a 4/0 pennel up and over into the darkness. Fantastic result of nine dogfish. Changed back to the beads and small hooks in the daytime on Thursday. It proved a killer combination, allowing me to land nineteen more dogfish by dusk. Back of the net!

As I trudged, pleased but weary, up the hill to the car I spared a thought for all the poor sods fishing for Plaice and Rays. I didn't see any of them catch a single target species...

Well done!

Good to hear Cogden is still producing such quality fish.
It’s so annoying when those flat pest things take your expensive fresh bait intended for the elusive dogfish.

You mean to tell me you don't target doggies and you prefer Plaice.SADS.Save All Dogfish Society.

Great report, and not a single nuisance fish. It's nice to see the Solent Salmon making such an early appearance this year.
A sign of Global Warming perhaps?
Cant wait for the Spiders to turn up. ?
