what type of gear do you guys use when conger bashing down that peir?

[Lee337]

Ronald or Davy are the men to ask as this is their patch but for shore conger work I use a Greys Nitra and Daiwa sl30 loaded with 30lb mainline. Perhaps overgunned but you never know what might turn up :D

I may be well off the mark here but IMO I would go for a 6' boat rod especialy off the back of the pier as you are mainly fishing holes between the rocks .If you are planning to fish from the front a heavy beach rod would be fine.

You need the boat rod for the back of the pier lee ,you are mainly fishing down holes between boulders at biggest 4feet across up to 10 feet deep , beach caster would be fine on the inside of the pier ,just a bit ackward on the outside though i'm sure you could chuck out on top of the kelp and hope :lol:
even a 50lb class strugles sometimes as you have to bully fish out of the boulders .

I have the very weapon for the job then :idea: . Penn 24kg rod and Penn 10kg reel :lol:

Or would that be taking the p!$$ :?:

Lee

it would be a good idea to use 80lb mono as a rubbing leader cos the rocks are sharp,it also gives something to lift a conger out with

def not taking the p*** I'm using same rod with a tld 20 and still having trouble with some of the fish reversing back down holes :lol:

great advice lads im gathering everyone's using boat gear apart from lee :?:

whats the chances of gettin another conger bash organised?????? was disappointed about missin the last 1

Might be fishin next week or possibly sunday night ,I'll post when i'm def ,i think the tides are pretty good at the start of the week for fishing from tea time to about midnight .

Headin down the pier tommorrow night if you want to go ,we'll be there from sevenish .same for monday night .

sounds good i will try and get up...i could get the train up but its gettin bac 2 carrick cause no trains run after 9 back to carrick. Is there any1 from my side of the loch goin?????

Sorry I missed this shout lads I've been busy at home and internet access at work is currently out of bounds!! Would def like a crack at the congers if you're willing to accept an apprentice. Perhaps you'll put up another shout whenever you're headin down again. What size hooks....6/0 or bigger? Weights...5/6oz plains?
