I have been recently fishing the local marks such as whitehead and carrick, I was wanting to upgrade my species and hopefully start landing some good fighting fish like dog's and congers or maybe rays.

I was wondering how to go about starting to land these type of fish.

for example.

what kind of technique and bait would i need to catch dogfish and what time of day do i need to go. (does high tide apply). apologies for the amount of questions.

Thanks in advance

as for conger bring a rag to get a better hold of them also allows you to cover their eyes before you grab them if they see your hand they could go for it
