Blyth Pier 20/7/09 Night

[Davyred]

Hi all thanks for the comments such a turn over. One of my pals told me he once caught a doggy off blyth pier early last year. Anyway was at tackle shop in ashington today and john n gary were happy to see a doggy lads!! gary thinks its a Huss or summit but defo female he says, john thinks its a Lesser Spotted Dogfish canny happy... bet next time i blank for once haha! i only go out when its a nice night & nice morn, leave rough fishin till winter time 10hrs fishing aint long either, especially when your catchin on 2 rods constantly

Mick dunn hope you catch one as its a surprise and a half.

what you mean jim, dont want too many doggies around n/e coast?

Thanks for the thumbs up on the pictures all much appreciated

Well done Richie. What Jim means is you don't want them of being in plague proportions like over SW Scotland, where you can't to the decent fish for them.

They're a novelty (they were for me when I first started fishing for them), but believe me when you're after smoothies and Rays, they're a pain in the a**e.

I don't know if you or your mate drives, but get yourself over Kirkcudbright/Whithorn or the Mull, you'll get all the dogs you want.

Now i wish i had kept it lol did'nt know much about dog fishes at all untill 2.30am mon nite so they hunt in packs then whey i dont know bout that like seein as i only ended up with one.. maybe a straggler (d-tour./.shortcut) they seem canny anyway just glad to get one.. whats the shore weigh-in record? for the Dog Fish around UK.

i dont drive but i guess there's tons of them up there, only 1 will do for me m8 as i dont wanna spoil the buzz of them untill i catch another one thats if i do. never caught rays or smoothies before... if i catch a big doggy next time ill keep it. Something worth keeping..

Yeah a few, you could mention it to the Journal but they're not that uncommon.

I wouldn't bother Richie, unless you know what you're doing with them, they taste horrible.

I'll share a recipe one of the lads from SW Scotland gave me for them though.....

Boil a large pan of water, and place the doggie in with a house brick. Simmer for an hour with a lid on. After an hour, take the brick and doggie out, throw the doggie away and eat the brick.

well done mate.

i have seen a few doggies from the pier in the summer months, but not in any big numbers.

 

[mick dunn]

I,ve heard they are akward to get hold of. Can they injure you with the rough skin?.

Give you a nasty scrape.
Best thing is to grab tail and loop if to the head to it cannot wriggle

 

[codseeker]

they aint that bad lol the odd doggy wont put anyone off but they do make excellent sanding blocks

 

[Richie_fishy]

the skin doesn't injure you, i think anyway.. just feels like a light sand paper hmmm but very smooth underneath stomach, and akward to get hold of? you mean buying them or catching em? never seen them in asdas like haha
