conger in dalkey

#1 Post by donal murphy »

ok lads im just wondering if there r conger to be had at the back of bullock harbour where all the rocks r? i fished for them at coliemore harbour before with my biggest being 10lbs, but im just looking for somewhere new and i would of thought with it being so rocky at bullock there may be a chance of hooking one

I gave it a go there one night last summer - lost the 6 conger traces I had with me and went home! There absolutely HAS to be conger there, but bring loads of gear!

sorrento park?? where is that exactly? When I go to Dublin I usually fish colemore and have been wondering bout bolluk as well. at colemore where is the best place to cast from and aim for for conger?

I usually bomb on line out and hang one directly next to the peir wall. have been thinking bout casting towards the rocks on the right side if your facing the island. Anyone have any luck with this?

just again where is sorento park and where is the best place to set down a bait for conger?

Thanks Lads

Is it better to fish for conger at dusk and into darkness or does it really matter? Was told about some big fish in colimore by my cousin he used to just lob it out 15yrds and leave it. He has caught a few there.
