nice one grady. well done on the PB man sadly a lot of our good conger marks have got hammered over the last few summers by groups of lads who kill and take every conger they get needless to say we keep the marks to ourselves now . it's the only way man

cheers lads
there is only good that this mark isn't that easy to find

grady,

Firstly let me commend your perseverance - 3 hours is a long journey. I have to drive about an hour to mine and think that's long. One of the previous posters hit the nail on the head about people killing them. Good congers take literally years to grow to a decent size and 'certain groups' seem to kill em all.

I recently took my personal best from the shore at about 22lbs. My wife now wants me to become a 'normal' fisherman again:)

Good work...
