Conger fishing season?

#1 Post by Teegerstk »

Hey all. I've been trying to cope with the cabin fever due to exams and the current storm that's approaching and what else other than thinking about fishing?
It's been a slow start to the year with flats and whiting last week and at the start of January. I know we're only in February but I was just wondering what seasons do people usually catch conger in? I have a few marks in mind for them and I was thinking April and onwards would be suitable? Can anyone correct me on this?
Thanks in advance

They are like dogfish, you can fish them all year round.
Catch, release, reminisce & repeat

Cheers for that lads. Mid term is coming up so I hope to get out after that storm.
