they are like rats gnawing at the bait, too big to get it down in one go, they twist and turn ripping off small bits at a time. Then the more familiar knock and in came the first dog.
The second rod had a 2 hook clip down on and baited with crab. The same pattern of bits on this also a few single short raps and a few minutes later a good hard lunge. Reeled it in and the two bright eyes light up on the top of the surf a dog followed on the bottom hook with a strap conger aka the rat 
. The sure know how to make a mess of a rig.
A tip for anyone who uses a loop and cascade on their clip down rigs, have the loop a different colour from the snoods. The length of the loop do not have to be exact so in a tangle I just cut the loop, in my case the red line, and make a new one.
Much the same for the rest of the session
Ended up with 5 dogs, 3 strap conger and a 31cm cod and a wet phone. Curse you people who want photos of fish.
