Back in the 70’s and 80’s my dad and I did lots of set lining in the sounds for snapper and
8 times out of 10 got snapper and i don’t recall ever getting dog fish. Now practically every hook has one twisting everything into a huge mess. Set line got retired
Ended up feeding a half bag of pillies to some monster rays hanging around the jetty- atleast we had a bit of fun with that
