You've asked for advice and have been given some . Your response to Fish was hardly appropriate or pleasant.

i dont know if you read my initial question ? advice he sent was not relevant . i think you will find that my reply was a bit tongue in cheek, where as his was abusive .

[mod hat on]Calm down a bit in here will you. People earlier in the thread had asked for advice on skinning/gutting. Nobody needs to be getting bent out of shape. Play nicely or you'll all have to go and share the naughty step.[/mod hat off]

squid is good bait .off offal is good .dead things is what they want i recon they eat a lot of squid at sea or maybe they wanted to but missed out until the found one in a sack or on a hook congers are not like up yurr river eels ,they have big teeth and a robust attitude to those who would eat them and need hunting in a different way
