Northwest Fishing Reports

Is anyone catching them lately on the piers? I'm around area 7 Bellingham and feeling like eating them. Used to catch dozens every night in the summer but not sure about fall mornings.

I used to catch them at the Point Defiance fishing pier at night, and sure that they are still around the area. They are thicker in the summer but in the area threw out the sound.

Hi Guys, what bites/lures do you use for dog fishes? Do they like soft plastics?

use herring chunks. if there's any dogfish around they'll pretty much always hit a piece of herring.

Usually don't find them in the sound the colder months of the year. Not sure if they leave or just don't hit. I'm a boater and fishing deeper then you can from a pier if it matters.

the bigger sharks that prey on them move down to owens beach area soo tacoma is like a dead zone for them in winter

I wondered why no one was swimming off Owens beach in the winter!
