Bangor pier latest report

davy had best conger at about 8lb very quite tonight compared to the last few weeks were most of the fish were in double figures.

Thats a lump of a rockling! Any sign of the 4 pounder Ronald :lol: ?

ronald is the luckiest fecker ever and i`ve decided to fish by myself next year,that way i wont be shown up :cry:

Its a matter of time before one of us will get the 3lb plus rockling and it'll prob be davy cos i've used all my luck up this year :lol:
Goes to show though ,if you put the hours in you get the results ,you just dont know whats on your doorstep !

Cracking fish Ronald, will definately have to get down soon.

Thats a stonking fish Ronald, annoyed now as i was going to head down and see if you were about but decided against it in the end incase nobody was. :cry:

It's the old story Ron, the harder you try the luckier you get! :D

Great specimen! Have you filled forms etc. this year?

JUDE

i agree Jude he should change his username,i`ve got one or two ideas but they are to rude to post here :lol:

cracking fish but it`ll not be long before a 3 or 4lb`er turns up like the one i lost last year :cry: .Bangor is def the big rockling hotspot

you should try tagging them, if they do hang around the same areas, it would be interesting to see how quick they grow... use a marker pin and a small bore 8mm bead and a drop of loctite! different coloured pins and beads in different fish....it might rust out tho, thats the only thing i guess...

or you could compare spot patterns, thats what i do with trout and pike to identify repeat captures. the patterns are pretty unique in these fish at least.

rockling, maybe?

a nice fish ron, good stuff. i have had speci sized ones of half mackerel and size 6/o hooks, greedy as hell

[Ronald]

People[/b]:myself and davy

Duration:3.5hrs

Tide:lw up

Weather:calm

Bait:fresh mackerel

Rigs:single hook paternoster and conger rigs

Results:2 congers to 18lb 10oz ,shore rockling and poor cod .

Catch and Release:: Yes/No



Report:Headed back down the pier tonight for a few hours ,the first couple of hours were pretty quite for me with nothing but crabs attacking the baits ,davy managed the first conger on the mini rod then a few small shore rockling ,i was just commenting on the amont of crabs when the conger rod started to get a bit of interest ,after a good run i struck into a decent fish ,after a lot of pulling and hauling the fish broke the surface ,after a bit of a struggle we got the hold of the trace to lift it out for weighing 18lb 10oz ,the best one for a few weeks now .
There seems to be loads of small conger around at the moment ,even getting them attacking the rubby dubby .
