It's ridiculous, I had never caught a Smooth Dogfish. Considering that I used eels for five years in my hardcore striper days, it is amazing that I never hooked up with a big Dogfish. This year I actively tried to catch one a few times. I used small eel chunks over the summer. A few nights ago I went night fishing with my friend Adam with squid. I looked on helplessly as Adam caught four Dogfish and all I got was a small Black Sea Bass.
It really is weird that I have actually caught a real shark before I've caught a Dogfish. As I wrote in July, when we went shark fishing, Adam let me reel in one of his Dogfish. Pathetic.
Finally, last Friday I caught a Smooth Dogfish. Same deal, I went with Adam. We fished squid at night. Within thirty seconds of my first cast I hooked a Dogfish. It wasn't a monster, maybe two feet and a couple of pounds. They are cute as hell, and I love the rough feeling of shark skin.
