F A Q's

North Wales is often talked about being the place for  big tope, huss, rays and smoothounds etc.  One fish that is often ignored is the conger eel. With fish breaking double figures on most occasions - conger fishing is a thrill all the time.

With the weather often being so un predictable in the winter months, at Holyhead we are blessed with a few decent wrecks within 15mins steam from the marina. These wrecks offer some excellent fishing with congers up to 50lb being caught recently. 

Offshore on the deepwater wrecks there is the potential for a new WFSA record, at 65lb+

Conger trips can either be tagged onto the end of a days general fishing, Or My Way can be chartered for 4 - 6 hrs in the evening with just conger in mind - the choice is yours. Fancy it?

 
Rods & Reels
A good strong downtider is the main choice for conger fishing. Uptiders  can also be used, the heavy size the better. Lighter rods are also great - giving you the opportunity to pit your wits against these monster fish.

Reels can range in size and type. There are a host of different makes and models to choose from however with reels sized similar to the Abu 7000 Shimano TLD 15, Daiwa's sl30sh,  or the Penn 535 sized reels you can't go far wrong.

Rigs

Rig choice is simple. all you need is a 2' - 4- length of 150 - 250lbmono. One end a good heavy duty swivel and on the business end size 6/0 - 10/0 hooks. Bronze hooks are preferred as these will quickly rust away if the hook is left in the fish. Some people prefer single hook, others prefer a pennel set up. Either rig is sufficient.  
Bait
Mackerel, pouting, poor cod or whiting and cuttlefish - all give excellent catches of conger.
