GoPro HD: Fishing For Dogfish & How To Setup A Shore Fishing Rig. N Ireland 

If you enjoy you're fishing ,and are quite happy catching doggies on light gear ,then why not. After all how many of us have fished some god forsaken beach in the middle of January at some unearthly time in the morning freeing our nuts off for sod all ,and have returned home to she who must be obeyed and lying through our teeth say that we've had a lovely time ,while you can see a huge grin on there faces while they secretly take the p*ss out of us. So thinking about it ????? Long live dogfish fishermen.

bored of mackerel tink ill try this other side of the lough in bangor

The doggies I catch are a lot lighter and dont appear to be black why is that, I'm from essex uk

If that's what you guys call a big one, I feel bad for you :P

Can dogfish burn you I heard that apparently they rap around your arm and twist and when they twist they give you friction burn

Great video! enjoyed watching, must be a pretty rocky mark as those are some of the darkest in colour dogfish i have ever seen!

Anyone could help me out, do dogfish bite in a salty river that goes out to sea? Or are they just in sea?

Nice video man! I was just curious if that's about average size for the dog sharks in Ireland? I'm from the United States, specifically washington state, and because dog shark is not fished commercially our shark get a lot bigger than what was shown. Tight lines man and have fun!

Thanks for this - I have just got into fishing, I live on the South Wales coast and we have a lot of Bristol Channel shoreline , I know from speaking to others that Dogfish (lesser spotted) are very common, to the point where anglers are fed up of catching them. I would be very happy if I caught anything so a nice sized dogfish would make my day! There's a shingle beach in my area that is really common for dogfish and the other fish they are all after is the Rays, which are also common there. I went for the first time yesterday, I bought a 3m beachcaster and reel for quite cheap, and we were fishing out on a rocky lighthouse pier called Jacksons Bay in Barry, had a good day but didn't catch anything, we wanted to use Ragworm but local angling shops didnt have any so we got some mackerel and squid instead - first cast in and my mate drops the knife right down into the rocks.....it wasn't a pretty experience from there on trying to cut bait with a pair of pliers! but I learnt a lot and will be much more prepared next time. Anyway watching your video and seeing you catch a few gave me a bit of hope, i can' t wait to get back out there now!

Good vid mate. Just discovered your channel. Great stuff.

Enjoyable video. Surprises me how simple rigs etc produce the goods on so many occasions. I try and keep things simple when I fish and only really use my own tied rigs. Many thanks for the video.

Is that whitehead your fishing un

I cought one that took up the space between 2 pillars on a peir

i caught a dogfish down in glenarm tonight i had ragworm on with 3 hooks n the dogfish twisted into the 3 hooks lol

Nice job! How do you get down there mate? Do you have to go to Beach Road and then dander around?

Not a fan of that rig but great fishing keep them lines tight

The thing with dogfish is you can really feel their strength when you unhook them. There's a lot of power in those little bodies.

Interested in going to that spot, how far out are you casting?

How's it going was wondering if you could tell me where this and how to get here?

Thanks for tips the mate going sea fishing in galway and this video gave me all the information i need

looks like a lot of fun! keep the videos coming!

Hi therealalexaroo, i will keep this in mind for future.

I don't fish for them in the states but sometimes catch the inadvertently.I got a 4 footer last night and going to cook him for dinner:) Nice scenery in Ireland Are you by Sligo? My girls mom is from there

I'm new to seq fishing, but what was that wee fish at 11.40, was it a wee dogfish or a baby conger?

nice video man

Nice vid guys

Sorry dont remember if you mentioned in the video, but How heavy a weight should you use ?

Hi Karateman, You should use anything from a 2oz weight upwards depending on the strength of the tide. Hope this helps.. Tight lines.

Cool my dad caught a dogfish when we were on vacation in corpus christi and it had teeth and someone saw and said not to touch because they are poisonous

Nice vid, but i don't think thats a dogfish - they are supposed to have two poisonous spikes in front of each dorsal fins.

hi, nice fish! is there anywhere else you can catch dog fish thats closer to belfast?

Hi Sam, I'm new to fishing and was thinking of going to try down at black head of the coast of white head in the Lough, I would be on a friends boat so would my set up be any different to yours in this video? Thanks

Glad to hear it Andrew, enjoy your trip & tight lines.

Hi Dodgers That's good to hear!!

Are you round whitehead ?

are these the only things that you catch there

where were you fishing
