Yes of course you can, that is what the boom is made of (old coat-hanger wire)
17:30 hahaha!! it just wee'd on you're boat!
Great video Graeme as always. A tip for you for congers. Take a heavy pirk or a piece of copper pipe and fill it with lead to create your own cheap pirk. Stick a swivel on one end and attach a 6/0 or 8/0 hook on the other end. Attach this to your line as normal, but stick your mackerel head on the end of the hook. When you drop to the sea bed the pirk is so heavy it will sit dead on the bottom making it easy for the congers to get it. As soon as you pull into the bite you have a direct line to the fish and it is much better for not getting snagged and you can get the jump on the fish quicker to haul him up out of the snags quickly. Makes the fight more enjoyable too without that big bobbing lead swinging around! Also, when hauling him aboard, the pirk makes a great handle and makes the whole unhooking process easy.
Brilliant, loved it as usual. . 🎣
Conger King !!! .. nice to watch your fishing videos with all experiens and inspiration . 👍👍
You are the Mozart of wire hangers...wish we had Congers in the Gulf of Mexico so I could join in the fun. Best I can do is throw myself overboard and have someone catch me, ha ha.
i liked the bit where you turned a fish head inside out and called it a butterfly
Graeme , YOU ARE TOTALLY AWESOME, thank you for all your wonderful videos,
type in "pier fishing tips part 2 - tafishing" on youtube and you should find one there
'holy beans on a shingle batman!!! that is a monster eel! '🤙 'and that one'... later on ...'and that one is huge'...at show's end 'and another huge one'.. after the show... 'holy beans that was a bunch of big eels'
yes, yes, yes, yes! more of these saltwater videos!
Yet another great video, well done chaps !
Awesome video!
At 10:50 : "have some respect for the power of those jaws, and wear a pair of leather gloves"
At 16:20 : Graeme is wrestling with a Conger with no gloves 10cm from is mouth. Funny,
Nice vid guys!
Great craftsmanship and great job overall!
Conger are actually good eating. Cut into 2 - 3lb sections, rub with salt and a squeeze of lemon overnight. Rub with butter, wrap in foil and bake for up to an hour depending on size. Check the flesh is teasing from the bone to make sure its cooked and yummy. They get them in the creels up here. They also cook well filleted in bechamel with tomatoes, shallots and a splash of white wine
Nice video, good tackle tips, Thanks.
Thank you glad you like it
Love the ending. Love TAFishing. Keep it up!
great video,,, wish I was there ,,,
same here mate
A Cod tutorial would be great...if we could find any Cod !! Shore fishing for them this year seems awful,and I reckon they have probably gone through by now.Still a few in the boats,but very patchy.Lots of blanks.I even tried Eastbourne from "The Wall" where I used to get them.Zippo! But keep watching though,we might get lucky.
sorry to be so offtopic but does someone know of a method to log back into an Instagram account?
I was stupid forgot my login password. I love any assistance you can offer me
@Thatcher Theodore Instablaster :)
@Bennett Lachlan I really appreciate your reply. I got to the site on google and im waiting for the hacking stuff atm.
Seems to take quite some time so I will reply here later with my results.
@Bennett Lachlan It did the trick and I finally got access to my account again. I'm so happy:D
Thank you so much, you saved my account !
@Thatcher Theodore You are welcome xD
Thanks! Didn't want to use a wire which is too weak... I'm gonna give it a try and use this boom for pike fishing and by inserting the short end (where the weight is attached) through an old float i'll get a fledger-boom!
I'm right handed but have always reeled in with my left. It makes it so that you don't have to switch hands after casting out, and plus, when you set the hook, you are setting the hook with your more powerful side (right side).
Thank you for that spit the head trick, I will use it next time out tomorrow... Thank you
Had 2 rods snapped here a 20lb class rod and a 20-30lb snapped with HUGE congers on in kayak, my mate winched in Blue sharks over 60lb on that same outfit no probs. Next time I'm using 30-50lb class. All the congers in the past I had in the kayak there have only been up to 30lb and the tackle handled them ok was not expecting them to get in the area of 60lb upwards but then again this is the manacles its really something else.
has tried to use circle hooks? Release the eel is much easier and less painful for conger. I use and work very well.
Great video!!
Conger Eeel is definitely my favorite fish to eat
Nice
Quality little channel mate fairplay ;))
Good job greats from the netherlands
A Wilson Flyer. About the cheapest good boat you can get.17 feet long.I have a 60 Yamaha 4-stroke on mine. Will do 30 mph 2 up ,flat calm etc. You can put a 70 but not really a need. I won't be changing it any time soon. Last year we got the biggest shark in Britain with it.Check our film out on the site.
great vid lads, subed
I liked this channel!
Fantastic video. Fantastic channel. Thanks! FW
actually conger eels are very tasty. i live in morocco in the south coast of the atlantic ocean this is one of the most expensive fishes in our marcket beside bass its very delicious in tajine or barbecue
Anyone notice the conger peeing at 17:33? :p
yeah I did mate
"Away with you women -and dont come back!" LOL!!. That pints still on the bar for you Graham in the Lemon Arms Graham if your back down this way ;)
yes if you eat the part between head and the hole.its great in soup if you have a cod and a scorpion.if you like i can give you a greek recipe
Can I use the cotehanger-wore for the boom? Sorry I can't understand what kind of wire you use... Awesome vid!!!
cool, keep it up !
Thanks think I will invest in one ps I caught a 21 pound pike on a bitching twitching rig thanks for great tips
Amazing. So jeaulous. 👍
Hi Graham where was that place you fished off the Dock catching those big conversations please, I do hope that your keeping well fella havnt seen any new vids last few months
You must not have hit the notification bell as there has been a new film up every single week,sometimes 2 ,sometimes 3 ?? Or do you mean boat fishing vids in my boat (now sold).
next time you go to Ireland near cork can you go to the submarine of cork harbour the congers there are huge
those fishes are really big and fast it almost got my hand rip at 18 kg in greece korinthos
ooh okay just curious because i live in the usa i fish alot i go when ever i get the chance i only keep what i can use and i dont keep large fish like this anyway il keep a small one or two then release the rest
May can you explain the different between conger eels and the "normal" eel ?
Can you do a vid on fishing for congers from the shore line?
oh okay just curious because i live in the usa i fish alot i go when ever i get the chance
im right handed and i reel in with my left hand, its funny when people ask other people that XD
Do you ever use a wire trace for congers or just heavy monofilament?
Did the line snap?
That thing looks like the old drawings of sea monsters.
I like fishing for carp and catfish sometime bass
heavy monofilament, 150lb test is about right.
cushdy channel mush, have you had many cod this year, any chance of a cod tuturial, been going to all the local spots around hayling and gosport portsmouth etc producing nothing but whitting, and loads of them any help would be great, thanks mate and tight lines
Hi, not related question but can you tell me how big your boat is. Thanks Darren
17-feet.
are you left-handed?
What type and size of hook do you use for this Graham?
No idea on make, for size I guess something around 6/0,lots of anglers use O'Shaughnessy pattern.
Do you ever use a t-bar for unhooking ?
All the time,but mine has a "V" rather than a loop. I have a 2-foot long T-bar for sharks.
what kind of boat is that?
caught one of these before... snapped my 11 ft. surf rod. ):
I'm not,but Wayne winds his reels left handed.
Conger eels
they do not taste good, but more importantly is that they take a long time to be as large ( 40-90 years) so please release them
I live in the uk I try to go sea fishing or even conger fis hing but I dont have the time beacase I am always going to the local resivour catching tiger trout, raindow trout and blue trout the brown trout are atleast 10-15 lbs p.s love your show I am only 10
le crochet dans la geule du congre sa serai cool d'éviter surtout si tu les relâche !!!!!!!! :O
are congers edible ?
me too :P
Use mackerelwire
You cool
Old piratos
My friend lost a finger when one bit him
It was something like 19 kilos
ouch I feel sorry for him but he can still fish right?
He sure can. Happened before I was born so I haven't seen it first hand but I've seen them bite trough all sorts of stuff. One ripped my jeans once. Thank goodness it missed my leg.
CroatiaSurvival that was close then! There was one kid near where I leave fishing watchet harbour I think in the Bristol channel and his dad caught a conger it turned on him and bit his foot
my girlfriend caught a small conger with a ragworm today in ireland
sure it wasnt a silver eel?
if u want to know they're real name mate, they are called strap conger eels because that's just what they look like tbh!
actually u might be correct there mate I dunno tho, silvers are usually green on top and white on the bottom
Let's all do the conger
yeah your really funny mate
JJCWhitey56 I know
William Davies mate it's called sarcasm
looks like more fish then than now in 2020 :(
What kind real you have
its a lever drag boat multiplier mate, but I dunno what make or price it is tho
Decides to eat one after he took bites from my mackerels in my net. Tastes blandly of mud, chewy and no fat to speak of. Toss it back.
Why don’t wear gloves???
Yes they are edible, but not great to eat.
TAFishing any chance on a video showing us how to make the sewer pipe feeder
Surely you believe Carol??
but he reels in with the right hand :S
It peed XD
First again!
And don't get your hands in their mouth! Check out the bloke who just got part of his face taken off by one.
Judging by your accent and mustache, you probably catch thousands of these with your bare hands off camera.
Why mono leader, why not wire? Then perhaps you won’t lose so many and there aren’t fish left with hooks stuck in them.
never believe a women LOL
nobody cares!
