what the standard size of the flatties you guys get up there? what rigs? standard stuff or do yee have a few tricks?!! what rods do yee use for conger?!! thanks for your time lads.

i us either a 30lb class boat rod with an old mitchell 624 and 80lb line from the pier or else a greys mercury beachcaster from the rocks straight through 30lb line on either penn mag or diawa SL30 .
As for the flatties ,no fancy rigs or tricks ,either two or three hook flapper rig onto size 2 aberdeen with a few beads or sequins on the snoods baited up with lug or rag and tipped of with thin sliver of mackerel or squid ,dont forget to take the skin of the squid as this makes sure that both sides are nice and white . fish a plain lead as much as possible and leave a bit of slack line so the fish dont feel any resistance when they take the bait . use a fine wire hook to ease unhooking .
