nice fish ronald, i like the agricultural approach taken when the mini rod doesnt work....penn formula!!!!

Well Done Mr Surgeoner!!! :shock: Gonna have to get down soon!

It takes the heavy stuff to haul the congers out if the holes ,I had the boat rod bent further than i thought it could go on the fish i lost :cry: and it was still going backwards into it's rocky lair :evil:

Well Done Mr Surgeoner!!! :shock: Gonna have to get down soon!

Report:Headed back down pier after conger after sucess the previous night ,really disappointing. davy got the only fish of the night with a conger of 15.5lb which is not to be sneezed at but after the amount of fish feeding the previous night we had high expectations .

Cracking fish lads, (might be forced???) or should I say will give it a throw myself for the conger. Well done anyway.

Steve

we`ll have to get hold of some fresh mack and see what difference it makes.the average size of the congers is def bigger than it was years ago.i wonder are the real biggies still knocking about :)

Fekkin' brilliant guys, where about on the pier were you fishing? Inside the harbour or on those weird shaped doofurs on the seaward side of the harbour?
Looks like those things could give you a nasty one if you were half asleep too!

you`ll get the congers on both sides of the pier but the back is the best and it can only be fished at low water,expect to lose gear and fish :roll:

well done lads, they r 2 monsters!! i myself caught my biggest fish to date of the back of bangor pier, it was a 9lb conger. seen some pictures of davy with some great rockling as well. just wondering have any of u caught anything interesting out at distance from the back of the pier??

the only thing at distance are whiting about 6 inches long . the odd doggie as well .

I remember I cut my teeth Whiting fishing on Bangor Pier, Our nights usually consisted of 67 Whiting and a Coaly, lol... :lol: Only way to fish Bangor is to do what Ronald does. :twisted:

I'm taking my 9 yo son fishing on Bangor Pier on Sunday Morning.

Any tips to pass on?

small hooks, weights and baits, dangle over the edge at the steps were the pier bends, in all likelyhood you will catch a load of tiddlers, this is the limit of my knowledge. :lol: The back of the pier is too rough ground to really make it worthwhile with a kid. Then again i know nothing. much. :( :lol:

Thanks Livid.

Somebody mentioned Wrasse below the platform. I'm assuming rag below a float would be in order.

you'll get plenty of wrasse of the platform on rag not massive maybe a couple of pound at best just fish about 10/20 feet out from the rocks the corner to the right of the platform isn't to bad .
DONT FEED THE SEAL ,he'll wreck the fishing if he starts getting feed as he just hangs around waiting then

Bait:Mackerel

Rigs:conger traces

Results:2 congers to 13.5lbs
Stuck a post in the clubs and meets section to see if anyone wanted to head down after the conger for a while ,lee was the only taker though jonny called down for a natter for an hour .Lee arrived just as i hooked a small conger on the mini rod ,got it to the surface before the line snapped think it was only about 3lb .
Davy was next with a conger of 12lbish on mackerel ,it was very quite on the mini fish with very few bites.after an hour we moved to another spot further around the point of the pier were lee got a good run which produced a conger of 13.5lb unluckly for it a trace of feathers snagged up in the kelp wrapped itself around the conger as it done the usual trick ofspinning quickly , after a bit of deliberation I decided to hop onto a rock which was partly submerged to see if i could pull the fish free from the tangle of line ,got it free and passed the fish up to lee who turned to walk back up the pier to unhook the conger but fell down one of the gratings :oops:
A good night craic even though i blanked and i think we might have shown lee a new way to fish for conger :lol:

Good to meet you guys.I'm just sorry I wasn't able to bring any gear with me and join in.

Lee I hope you're OK after your fall :oops: .I don't think there are many people that have or do fish the back of the pier that haven't done exactly the same thing especially at night. :lol:
