any doggies showing on the down coast?!

looking back at my fishing diary and noticed this time last year i got a wee bit of sport with the doggies at orlock, co. down. based on that i'm gonna give it a throw this weekend. just wondering if anyone has had any joy before now along the down coast?

had plenty of dogs until xmas, then nothing until feb, which produced a few and been getting better since then. But very little joy in daytime, just the odd one. And yes these where on the Down coast and i fish on average 10 times a month.

hi mate, only get out during the day. but i caught plenty during the day last year. gonna give orlock a throw anyway chum, fingers crossed i'll have something to post this weekend.

Have had a couple in the past month or so during the day, so they are out there, maybe the heat wil help. let us know how you get on at Orlock, i fished it a few times last year but stopped for the winter as i dont fancy the rocks with wind and rain.

I've caught a few dogfish over the years, but they always seem to curl up in a ball, so it's like reeling in a lump of kelp. I always thought they were more of a nuisance than a sport fish - where am I going wrong?

some get tangled in ur trace and come in like a dead weight and other put up a scrap, it all depends. i enjoy catching them, especially when they save u from catching nout somedays.

I havent caught that many myself. One fish I actually try for, while others avoid. Hopefully get one tonight

None from the Dee Yet Rab Mate! Hope you get some! 8)

alright drew, they seem to hit the dee quite late compared to orlock but i'd still like to have heard of a few pulled in there. do u ever try to fish at distance from the back of the dee pier?
