For night 1 results read my other thread (new way of fishin')..I'm not sure if i posted what i caught in night 1 but i did manage too pull in a 13" bullhead... I'm going to try to post everynight i fish at night so i'll keep you updated..

Well night 2 was like night 1... Well i get there at about 6 and dont get my first hit til' about 7, i had a nice fish on for about 10 sec before he let go.. Later about a 30 mins or so i had another bite and this time i let em' take it.. The fight was pretty intense lasting about a minute or two. I landed a
18 1/2" dogfish... The about 15 minutes later on my other pole i watched my bobber go left, so i jerked it,nothin'.. so i throw it in the same spot and then it went to the right so i let the fish take it about 5' and the i jerked it, i had this one on for about 2 secs before the line break and it was 30 lbs test!!! the fish wrapped the line around a pole and we both tugged and SNAP! well luckily i could still see the bobber so i ran on the dock and tried to grab it but i was short... so the fish went under a boat and then under another dock,and he was just siting there soi streched out and touched the bobber ( i seen the fish and it was another nice dogfish) and he took off, i lost the hook and liter but somehow the bobber fell of so i got that back.. That was all that happend after that,about 100 more skeeter bites and i left at about 10:00..
Well that was night 2, stick around later tonight for night 3 results if it douesnt rain, or tomarow i'll post them.

Deputy catching big dog fish is a lot of fun. Try testing your drag snag your hook on the dock and make sure when you yank on your pull your drag is letting out line and not breaking. Try using bid treble hooks and steel leaders. Next when the fish first takes the bait the bobber moves flip the bail open or press on the thumb release most big fish will grab there prey from the side and shake the stuffing out of it for several seconds. Only after they have suffeciently stunned it will the drop it and swallow it head first this is when you want to put the hammer down after the second run. Patience will lead to more hook ups.
