Doggies

Kat1170

Haven't been fishing in a good while, anyone care to point to a few spots that still hold doggies from the shore. I don't expect anyone to be overly specific with their preferred spots, just a general area would help with a bit of planning.

TIA Kat1170

What part of the country are you in?

Kat1170

Preferably East or South East coast.

Most of the Wexford beaches will produce doggies.

It wasn't me!

Generally in numbers and to the detriment of everything else you might be trying to catch! Of course, if you set out to catch them I imagine you'll be absolutely sick of the sight of bass, cod and the like.

Interesting theory - Go after doggies, be disappointed with 56 Bass!

I might just give it a go!!

ANY wexford beach will give you dogfish - Just pretend your fishing for something else and you will get hundreds!

Thanks everyone. Doggies were always there in numbers in the past, haven't been shore fishing in a good few years do just wanted to check if things were the same. Although a Bass or two is always welcome lol

I’ve caught dogfish on hotdogs and one on a sausage roll. But when you target them you won’t catch them so target something else.

If you're ever in Clare, you'll get tormented by 5kg+ Ray similar size huss and bigger congers while fishing for doggies....

The other evening I caught 7 thornbacks and 3 congers while fishing for doggies...

Nothing worse than hauling in big rays and huss while thinking you're going to catch a few doggies
