People: Myself.

Duration: 7pm-10pm

Tide: High at 9.04pm 4.33m

Weather: Strong Westerly wind, cloudy.

Bait: Mackerel

Rigs: 3 hook flapper, conger trace.

Results: 1 Conger.




Report: Arrived down at the mark to be greeted by a strong Westerly wind, nice colour in the water so i was hoping for a fish or two, got myself set up and threw a 3 hook flapper out about fifty yards, nothing came in but a bit of weed every cast, after a couple of casts i lost my rig so i said would give the Congers a go as i hadn't tried this year so far, threw a 6/0 trace just to the edge of the rocks with a nice big chunk of mackerel on the end, after about fifteen minutes my ratchet clicked, it then clicked a couple of more times, so i decided to pick it up and strike, could feel the fish straight away but he was stuck in a rock, got him out after a minute and lifted him up onto the shore, i was chuffed , only my second ever Conger but more importantly my first Conger this year, i didn't have a weighing scales but i estimated about 6lbs , got a few snaps and off he went, took a couple of more casts but nothing else, pictures to follow,


Regards, Kaylem.
