Report:

Got a text from eddie asking did I want to head out tonight for a chance at the Huss again. The Met Office said the rain would clear in the evening. So we got to the mark and we were quickly into dogfish. Nearly a dogfish each cast with bait banging as soon as they hit the water. The Rain then started shortly after the first fish landed and released. I have never seen dogfish Fight like these wee fellas before, but they sure where angry when we got them in. Great sport, after a couple of hours we called it a day... the rain had beat us.

unlucky with the huss stevie,,, were you at our wee mark or across the bay?. the huss seemed to be away from our mark at the mo. have'nt got one at it in our last 3 trips. but hopefully they'll show up again soon . good to see the doggies kept you busy at any rate .

fair play for getting out dogs can be good sport when there on the feed a lot of people hate them

I dont know why people complain about catching doggies either. They are always welcome in my book!

Well done defying the rain. I was faced with it on Wed nite.....

Unlucky with the Huss they don't seem to be appearing anywhere regularly at the minute hopefully in a couple of weeks time they'll start showing a bit more... at least ye were kept busy with the doggies...

hard luck on the huss,them doggies are good fun when they come on,have not fished for doggies for a while,think its time for a trip to lecanvey good dog and huss mark

Well done on the doggies mate,they have saved many a blank and hopefully the Huss show up soon its deffo 1 for my species list this year hopefully

I dont think I was hitting the distance for the huss on this occasion. The rain was doing my head (proper fishermen always blame other factors). Great craic with the Dogs. Best scrap I have had off the dogs for all the size of them.
