alrite lads, im wonderin is there any chance of catching conger eel around bray at this time of year? if so how far should i roughly cast? freshwater eel are suppose to be able to b caught in the harbour but ive never had luck, not even a bite :( also ive tryed for doggies out in bray before but no luck either! im some kind of anti dogfish magnet :lol: what bait should i be using for the dogs and how far should i be casting for them aswell?

Dogfish will take anything, generally the more expensive the bait and the more intention you have to catch something else on it, the more dogfish you'll end up with. :)

I get them at any distance, the love squid and all I can get on sandeel is dogs, also try a wee spray of wd40 on your bait and that'll bring them on from time to time.

Conger wise, I dunno really, caught a few from Greystones North beach, none apart from that.

You remind me of the bro in Law aaron. He was always looking to get a few doggies. Then one night during a Tope session in Rosslare he got about 60 :D That sorted that out :lol: :lol:
