could it be that doggies may not always be mans best friend?recently a trawler in east cork landed 30 boxes and got the huge price of 9 euro abox.at this rate our old friends may not be so helpful when it comes to saving a blank

agree there mate, doggies are a great wee fish, not great fighting unless you use light tackle, they always bite and have saved a few blanks for me

i dont mind catching dogs but it does me head in when fishing for ray and they seem to be on your bait in two seconds and dont give anything else a chance to cover the bait
