Conger info

#1 Post by finding nemo »

Looking for some info on congers. Have looked around the net and have found that they can be fished all year round but you would have a better hook up rate in autumn. Want to try for some on the east coast am i wasting my time now?

Any info would be great.

Thanks.

We've tried a few of our marks in cork in the last few weeks and nothing so far so i'd also leave it off a month or two. We're gonna keep trying till they turn up so I'll put up a post when we find them. I find autumn best for them but that might just be because we're fishing in darkness more than we would in the summer.
