Dogfish are Greedy?

tell us something we did not know.

On a recent trip off Chatham, dogfish were hanging from almost all 300 hooks fisherman Jamie Eldredge spooled into the ocean 20 minutes earlier. One hook held an unfortunate blue fish, stripped to its spine by the swarming dogs, as they're called. Other hooks had only blue fish heads and gutted whips, the nickname for male dogfish.

I say let our boys start killing the Dogs!

Echo that thought Shoe!

And I just want to ADD to this post.....

Wonder if somebody could tell me the dog fish~ sand shark ~ whatever the F you call them.....tell me their contribution to the circle of sea life????

Compare it to the black fly in Maine or the Mosquitos of the south.....we can all figure out the food chain on those bastards.....but how about the dogs???

Anybody?

The article state that Females were targeted in the 90's by fishermen? Can someone explain why?

A good solution would be unlimited commercial fishing..Benefit ? More cod,More lobster and just about anything else you can come up with. They need to be purged before they ruin everything.

I got that part but if it's just for the belly strips is there a big difference between males and females?
