Not this year .
And I spend a lot of time black fishing in October through February .
Water temps makes the blackfish move off of the many shallow water areas that can be good in October .
It concentrates the fish in less areas causing competition.
Colder water also pushes the dogfish out to even deeper water .
Right now dogfish are harassing anything that wants to come out to start a bite .
Catch a small blackfish and there are 3 or more dogfish. Trying to grab it while you’re bringing it in .
Drop a crab down and dogfish are all over it .
