Sea fishing Forums

Hi guys

I had sussed out a deep water rock mark after talking to the guy who owns the local chippie. After a run of 10 blanks I thought I had better put some effort in and try to catch a fish.

After a recce a week ago I have been waiting for the right conditions for a chance to give it a go, finally today was the day.

Fished 4 hours up to high and caught a conger about 2 ft long and as thick as my arm. Sorry no pic. as I had left my phone in the car.

It was a rough old spot and tackle loss was high, I need to make up some rotten bottom rigs before the next attempt.

Sorry forgot to say, bait was sandeel and squid wrap on a pulley rig with 3/0 hook.

well deserved mate

Left in the car you muppet

Well done

Who dares wins pros you gotem

Well done mate, reward for your efforts..!!

cheers guys

Well done on catching, there will be no stopping you now.

As for rotton bottoms, rather than losing lead weights you could make some concrete weights using an egg box as a mould, or as an alternative, I read somewhere that one or two do in the North East rough ground marks use potatoes (uncooked) especially if a long cast is not needed and you can take a few of different weights. Of course you may want to keep the spuds for chips to go with your fish.

Thats food for thought, no pun intended, thanks Simon.
