LESSER SPOTTED DOGFISH (Scyliorbinus canicula) The Lesser Spotted Dogfish "Doggie" for short can be found feeding close to the shore. The Dogfish have eyelids and a very rough skin, the best way to handle a Dogfish is to grab it by its head and tail to prevent it climbing your arm. Baits: By far the best and commonly used is frozen sandeels but also Mackerel strips and other fish baits work well.
