Spiny dog shark...the fastest way to get children intersted in fishing


These dog shark are usually considered garbage fish by most people, but for me...I have found a way to get any kid interested in fishing on a nice warm summer day. There aren't many kids who wouldn't want to see a shark. They are relatively easy to catch using any fleshy fish for bait. I have used everything from sculpin, suckers, smelt. I use 30lb. braided steel leader because they have small teeth that easily cut through mono. A 4/0 circle hook which prevents mortality on these special fish and we are able to release every one of them. I believe in catch and release with any native species I fish for. I have already taught both of my boys the importance and they love to let fish go. It's so wonderful to see them practice what i teach them. The best thing about this fishery is most people don't even bother targeting them. I'm able to take my boys out and hook 20 to 30 of these in just a few hours. They are so intriguing to kids. They talk about these 2 to 5ft. shark for days.
