People:VIP, Topbox & me

Duration:10pm till 3am

Tide:HW @ approx midnight

Weather:Beautiful night, no wind, dry

Bait:Mackerel, mackerel and more mackerel

Rigs:Conger rigs.

Results:Poor, just one strap conger.


Report:Great night to be out fishing, few runs but not taking the bait well. Baits also getting lifted by smaller species like large rockling and dogs :evil:

Final report, may be a tad early for the big eels yet.

Yea, if i keep getting strap congers there for much longer you lot might try and put me in the fishophile club with Drew ( fishophile chairman ) :lol:

As I said, give it a month or two as the water warms, should start to produce.

Jude, you still wanting to give it another go for a big eel??
