Conger eel fishing trips.

Image: northern ireland conger fishing

Northern Ireland has long been associated with Cod, Pollock, Rays and Turbot etc. One fish that is often ignored is the conger eel. With fish breaking double figures on most occasions - conger fishing is a thrill all the time.

At Portrush we are blessed with decent conger reefs within 30mins steam from the Harbour. These reefs have in the past given me fish to 39lb.

Conger trips can be chartered for 4 hour long trips in the evening. Typically we catch half a box of mackerel for bait, then drop anchor over the reef and wait for the light to drop...

The Conger is a veracious eater, they feed on just about anything that moves on the sea bed, and they are renowned for their fighting power when hooked on rod and line. Beware the fearsome teeth and ferocious bite of the conger eel!


the choice is yours. Fancy it?
