Myself and the nephew
3 hours
1 up 2 down
Calm / Baltic
Sandeel macks
3 hook flappers. 6/0 pennel
2 conger. 8.5 lb and 6.6lb. 7 small pollock
We had a heap of left over bait from a session the night before so we decided to try for congers at a local pier. I set up a float with a 3 hook flapper baited with sandeel on size 4 hooks for something small
I clipped a 1 ounce lead and just let it drift about while we baited up for conger
Within 5 min we had three small pollock on
Paddy ,the nephew is only starting out went after congers and got into a good eel after 30 min
He got the bugger out of its hole in the pier wall after a bit of tug of war
Needless to say he was well delighted with his catch
The float continued to pull the odd 20cm small pollock
About half hour from finish I hooked up a conger myself
First one for me this year
A good session Bloody cold but it is jan I suppose
