Default Dogfish Eating Cod

Something many have thought for years now...

https://www.capecodtimes.com/story/n...3b9BG_gEh5m18Y

Was up in Gloucester a few years back Haddock fishing and the Dogs were so thick we'd have to get the bait out of the water and stop fishing for 20 mins at a clip... Drop back in and catch some Haddock and 10 mins later we'd have to stop fishing again. You'd reel them up and there was 10 others following.

Seems like you can't get past these Dogfish to get at the Sea Bass and Tog in our area too.. Meanwhile people are talking about Tog Biomass being down and imposing stricter regulations. Maybe they should be looking at the Dogfish populations and the effect they have on Tog..

Thoughts, opinions?? Seems like you can hardly drop anything, jigs, bait etc and not be invaded by them...
