Gettin the odd coalie off the beaches but not really targeting them. Was too much surf most of last bunch of sessions to be really gettin dogs where I was fishin. Last time I fished in a calm at lw got plenty of em but it was a while back.

i was just talking about this with my dad today, i was going to post a question asking the same, i havent caught a doggie since August and that was in Donegal, i miss them as they a great fish and are good size fish instead of whiting. They have seemed to have disappeared from my hooks in the last year mind you looking a my reports most fish dont come near my hooks anymore.

i agree with what you are saying about the coalies but theres no shortage of dogs on the west coast.

coalies, well there starting to show up here in numbers, and was getting a good few in southern wexford a few weeks ago. as for the dogs, it is getting late for them, you wont get the same numbers as you do in summer, have to say dublin and wicklow were jammers with the little feckers all summer and autumn

Had a few doggies late last week off Ardmore Pier. Since then not seen sight of anything decent.

Maybe the whiting are causeing the drop in coalies and doggies because there is so many whiting that the coalies and dogs can t get any food

thats one skinny doggie, i had one a while back that was half that length but probably the same weight.

if you put him into a tank you'd get done for animal cruelty for not feeding it.

Hi,

There's no shortage of doggies here in Kerry either - although my mates below in Cork are scratching their heads as to where the cod and the coalies are this winter. Like the one inthe picture lots of very small LSD's around at the moment

I heard that they are trawling for Doggies for bait for pots along the east coast. I can't say if its true or not but I've had none at all. Years ago in Wexford you'd get a dog a cast some nights.
