He also said do you fancy a run up next year to have a crack at there festival and we go spend a day checking out the Congers.

 

Thats a good idea. You should come for two days. You can spend one day fishing for congers, and the other looking for the ghost of the black monk at nearby Gisborough priory.

 

Funnily enough I dont expect you to be successful at either, but I am no expert like you southern lads. B)

LOL , oooh i shouldn't laugh at you guys throwing sucker punches but lets be honest ...it is fun.

 

How about agreeing to disagree? or maybe accepting that one area provides better bounties than others?

Let fishing be fishing and enjoy it for exactly that , we all know we are right regardless of anybody elses opinion just the same goes for everything else in life.

 

For what its worth , i'd show the lot of you guys how to fish , i used to be a Cod in a previous life you know? :P

Nice one alan i think i think you are most defernetly right i think there is more chance at the guisborough priory ;) on a more serious note i was talking to one of local divers yesterday who works at the local boat yard brian is a local lad has being diveing the wrecks and reefs off here for over thirty years in some serious depths i asked him how many congers he has seen over the years on wrecks and his words were non the be exact what he did say was he had seen a very odd conger on the shallow reefs near the shore but they really were few and far between brian is a very experienced diver and has spent many hours underneath the water over the years when i mentioned to him somebody who lives near on 300 mile away from here had this brain wave about big congers being plastered on the wrecks up here he nearly fell over laughing.

Ohh yes this is fun, (now ten pages of it ) here we go yet again, first it 's been put up that there's confused divers, they don't know there ling from there conger, :lol: now it's pretty much certain that congers by the divers have been confirmed as likend to ghosts and for forty years there ain't any in one particular part of the uk coast. Thats after someone else has even told us there's loads of straps. But the last one to be caught off one boat was two years ago. And commercially congers get caught in pots, was that a bit of a smoke screen. :clap::clap: Still, what do i know living in my own little world, thats the one that has congers up the cold norway coast and icleland has the largest at over 300lb. Are they in part of the gulf stream btw. :D

 

Can you see why i like arguing, Glenns words, not mine. :D

 

Is this what's called sucker punches Mr M or maybe accepting that one area provides better bounties than others?

 

Na, never 'appen, mines bigger than yours. Sure that was the start of the topic. Followed by an unconfirmed 25lb pollock,54lb ling

Free to choose apart from the ones where the trust poked their nose in. Common eel. tope. Bass and sea bream. All restricted.


New for 2016 TAT are the main instigators for the demise of the u k bass charter boat industry, where they went screaming off to parliament and for the first time assisting so called angling gurus set up bass take bans with the e u using rubbish exaggerated info collected by ices from anglers, they must be very proud.

Upgrade, the door has been closed with regards to anglers being linked to the e u superstate and the failed c f p. So TAT will no longer need to pay monies to the EAA anymore as that org is no longer relevant to the u k . Goodbye to the europeon anglers alliance and pathetic restrictions from the e u.

Angling is better than politics, ban politics from angling.

Consumer of bass. where is the evidence that the u k bass stock need angling trust protection. Why won't you work with your peers instead of castigating them. They have the answer.

Recipie's for mullet stew more than welcomed.

Angling sanitation trust and kent and sussex sea anglers org delete's and blocks rsa's alternative opinion on their face book site. Although they claim to rep all.

new for 2014. where is the evidence that the south coast bream stock need the angling trust? Your campaign has no evidence. Why won't you work with your peers, the inshore under tens? As opposed to alienating them? Angling trust failed big time re bait digging, even fish legal attempted to intervene and failed, all for what, nothing.

Looks like the sea angling reps have been coerced by the ifca's to compose sea angling strategy's that the ifca's at some stage will look at drafting into legislation to manage the rsa, because they like wasting tax payers money. That's without asking the rsa btw. You know who you are..

By the way many thanks for sorting the picture out Barry old mate, nice one.

 

Julian reckons that so few boats up there have an anchor, so he is not surprised if some don’t know how to use them

 

No probs Bob, my pleasure,

 

Have to argue the second line though, no charter boat will put to sea without an anchor, thats a safty issue. Engine fails?

We are no experts at anchoring wrecks in this part of the world whereas you Southern boys are.

 

However, here is a video I shot of my previous skipper wreck anchoring over the biggest wreck in the North Sea (the Namarado Field Jacket).

 

Because of the wrecks orientation we decided to use 2 35kg Bruce anchors instead of one placed 30 deg apart uptide on the ebb. The ebb tide ran at 304 deg in its second and third hour so using reciprocals we placed the anchors at 71 deg and 41 deg respectively. All calculations are in magnetic North and not true North. The wreck lies in 226ft of water so to allow for the catina we used 1100ft of warp with 35m of 8mm chain rode on each pick.

 

We didn't catch any congers. B)

One of our anglers did catch and release a 15lb cod though.

 

Where did we go wrong Barry and Deeno?

Don’t do Ghost busting but if yer talking snakes ‘Who ya gonna call Conger catchers!!!!’

Now that would be us !!!!

While that might appear to sound a little cocky it isn’t meant to be but I can honestly say I have had more than my fair share of the critters over the years. So lads if there are any there and the skipper can put the boat in the right spot I will have them trust me. I so confident here is a challenge. Big Cod asked Barry to put up or shut up. Well I tell you what, put us on a wreck with the hook in for a day and if we have one of your non existent Congers then we have a free day if we fail we pay. And to make the trip worth while lets do it during your festival next year so we can have a crack at that to. We book five days with one day of that for the challenge, what do ya say?

 

As for the banter in this thread Mr Motorola dont worry, we are sea anglers and thats what we do If ya take it seriously ya shoulnt be here, as far as I'm concerened 'It's all in the best posable taste' :D
