Conger fishing Achill island

People : Myself, Gavin and Ciara.

Weather: beautiful and calm.

Tide : riseing

Duration : 7 til 10pm

Rigs : spinners and rotten bottom.

Arrived on Achill on the 27th of june took the adlantic drive couldnt believe what i saw, the sea was like a mill pond.
Decided to hed to porteen with the kids to cath a few mackerel, had a look at the furdest point north of the harbour the sea was so calm we decided to walk out to it , the mackerel were everywhere Gavin got a few pollack and mackerel and Ciara got her first mackerel and her second and her tenth. I lost a large fish on my first cast second cast a conger of 23 pounds and a few pollack.
Sudenly the sea erupted with mackerel flying everywhere and out of the water atleast 3 very large fish i seen of about 50 pounds the guy from Cavan next to me thought they were albacore tuna, I looked it them up on the net and i think they were the fish alright. Great night on the hed going back soon.
