    Thank you for the video! Brings up memories of many night fishing expedition on the east coast, in Connecticut. We would snag menhaden, put the less injured ones in a bucket of water, and fished live ones under floats. We would use styrofoam, and wrap the monofilament around it several times. When the fish hit, the foam would disintegrate. One night late, maybe 2am, had a hit that led to fish on. Couldn't stop the thing! Just busted off after 45 seconds. Given the amount of energy involved that might have been a 20 or 30lbs fish, or even larger. Just can't stop those big fish on the first run!

      Sounds like a magical night, I still think about the ones that bust me up. And probably will to the very end. Thanks Brother 👍😁

    I still caught there when its really been to rough to be down there but you have to try .I always wanted to fish it at night but never got to do it .I'm sure it would throw up some proper big congers .
    I taught both my boys how to rock catch congers there ? They loved it just for the size of the fish there not a wide range of species but still enough twice three times a yr two other lads would come over and fish with me there and loved it saying how much better than beach marks back in England and size of the fish there .there always commenting about it ,👍

    Best Pollock I ever had there was 15lb on spinning rod I had house in bantry and fished hundreds of west cork marks but this was by far the best .had some 50 lb plus congers here fishing left hand side of the ledge literally 20 yd out next to the big rock you can see on a calm day plus loads bullhuss and fresh mackerel for bait always here .

    That water looks beautiful, and I've never seen a huss that dark before, they tend to be kind of leopard print here in North Wales.
    I used to do a bit of shore fishing on the river Blackwater for salmon near there but not very close, up the dancing man's house, Lismore?
    Think we stayed in Ballyduff, beautiful area. 👍

Equatorial Guinea was the one that broke my heart the most, literally miles of Bluefin Tuna, Grouper, Barracuda etc and we couldn’t cast a line.
