Fishing for conger eel at our local venue, bitten by a conger hit target Fishing uk Isle of Wight

- hey everyone,
So I went out with my stepson on this one, and being as we really wanted to get him his first conger, we decided on our local venue of freshwater. Really enjoyable session, and got to try out a new rod, the Akios airpower 420 GTR. We both managed to get our target, not the biggest by any stretch, but target all the same. I also got a love bite from my conger. Lesson learnt there, keep fingers well away, even if they are small
Hope you enjoy

What a fantastic moment to share.
Thanks buddy, it was great, he went on his own the other night, first time with his mates, had a dog, not bad for only an hour though👍🎣🎣
Well done to u for the encouragement u gave to Jacob on his 1st conger. Look like u were just as chuffed as him keep it up u2
Thanks Gary, I was chuffed for him, he's been trying to get one for a while now, Shane it wasn't bigger, but target is target 😁👍🎣🎣
Well done Jacob showed Dylan how it's done ...cracking video all the best lads 😃🎣
Didn't he just, he's making a habit of it, have to stop going soon🤣👍🎣🎣
Great stuff Dylan mate, so pleased for Jacob first conger at last , he looked so pleased . can’t believe you poked a finger in its mouth 🤣. nice video bud appreciate your efforts 👍🏼👍🏼
Thanks dude, yeah mate, won't be making that mistake again, although I said that after getting too close to an undulates mouth🤣👍🎣🎣
Come on boys do this 👍🤞
Thanks for your support mate👍🎣🎣
well done dylan ,glad jake got his conger well deserved ,hope the finger gets better look forward to the next video stay safe cheers chaps
Thanks Paul buddy, yeah he's defo put some time into that conger, now it's about getting a bigger one. Can't wait to get him into a hound. Next on his radar is a ray👍🎣🎣
Hi Dylan, nice to see you & Jacob out again. Great to see him catch his first conger also glad to see that he had the good sense not to get bitten by it lol. Hopefully better things to come now that the weather is warming up a bit.
Thanks mate, he was really chuffed, and I was chuffed for him. Y ah I reckon once he saw that happen to me, he was never going to get his fingers too close🤣👍🎣🎣
Another nice, chilled and fun session, we’ll done Guys and we’ll done Jake!
Agree with you about having two rods out, might be more work, but it means you can fish a big rig/bait and a scratching rig. A venue I’ve never fished, will give it a go sometime. Thanks for posting, Dylan 👍
Welcome Steve mate, it's an easy one down there, and the bass will be in there soon too. Now we are in April, I'll be looking to try and get one👍🎣🎣
Excellent video again well done Jacob 1st conger bingo keep up the good work 👍
Thanks mate, very much appreciated 👍🎣🎣
Well done Jake, the first of many I’m sure😊👍👍 that finger looked painful Dylan, shudder to think what a mess a 30lb ‘er would make!! Great vid again all 👊🏻😎👍👍
No doubt he'll get annoyed with them soon enough🤣, mate I couldn't believe how much it hurt for a tiny fish. I think anything over a 5lb would destroy your fingers🤣🎣🎣
cracking little session well done jake👏
Thanks Dan mate 👍🎣🎣
Well done on the conga club
Thanks mate, he was over the moon👍🎣🎣
Nice one Jake!
Thanks mate, he appreciates all the support 👍🎣🎣
Hi Dylan, gz to Jake on his conger 🎣. Keep up the good work. I'm looking forward to the next video 🎣 👍
Thanks mate, much appreciated, I just hope the fishing improves a bit👍🎣🎣
Give it a couple more weeks, and the summer fish will start to show up
Grt vid again , always a gd watch ,😉
Thanks John, much appreciated 🎣👍👍
Hey Dylan, love your content. Here's a little hint. Get a meat tenderizer and beat your squid strips till almost clear, then bind it to your fish bait or crab, sand eel even shrimp. Two reasons, life like luster and releases more scent. (also you use less). found it to be quite successful along the welsh coast. good luck and laughter to you and yours, regards.
That's a great tip mate, thank you👍🎣🎣
Nice one lads 👍🤣🤣
Thanks buddy🎣🎣👍
Well done guys, went for a Conger and both caught a Conger so job done. Thanks for sharing
Maybe not the size we were after mate, but we got one all the same. Thanks buddy 👍🎣🎣
Well done boys, top stuff! Great video as always Dylan. Look forward to the next one 🎣
Thanks mate, with any luck the hounds will be in soon. Be nice to get some weight on the rod. Want to try for a few more bass this year too. I'm torn between a bass session or rays or smoothound next time out👍🎣🎣
PMSL Dylan ! Like you say imagine how hard a big one would bite ! Well done mate keep em coming 👍
I honestly couldn't believe it, smallest conger, and mate it was so strong 🤣🤣👍🎣🎣
Nice work mate thats what fishing is all about you looked proud as punch of jake keep up the good work.
Cheers Dan buddy, yeah it's great seeing him get into a fish or two. Really looking forward to getting him into some bream soon. I think he'll love that👍🎣🎣
Great to watch two guys having fun out fishing 🎣 well done on your first conger, bigger out there, tight lines and be safe
Thank you, yeah I can't wait for him to get into a bigger one, something that will give a bit of a fight in the way in. Looking forward to getting him into the hounds in a few weeks, that should put a smile on his face🤣🎣👍👍
Well done on the conger & video!
Thanks mate, very kind🎣👍👍
You give the best vibes when you’re fishing Dylan, and well done Jake 👍. I watch a lot of you UA-camrs fishing you all put a lot of effort in well done.
Thank you Richard, very kind of you mate. He did so well, was really chuffed for him. Some times it can be a chore, but sessions like that with Jake 100% make up for it👍🎣🎣
Great fishing and great video well done to the both of you.👍👍
Thanks buddy, very much appreciated 👍🎣🎣
Happy days Dylan good night few fish top video and you got your boy with you what more do you want tops cheers
Thanks Clive buddy, it was a great little session👍🎣🎣
Nice one guys
Thanks buddy, on happy young man there👍🎣🎣
Eazy Dylan you ok pal, you won't go rong with akios mate, one of the best companies I ve used, especially the customer service. Well done on your session, you saved the cheque book and pen.and your bang on with the health bag as you never no with getting cuts . I've just got bk from this morning session on the humber. It was 2 whiting, a 29cm dab and a flounder that stopped 3 blanks on the spin. All the best from GRIMSBY.
Well done mate, catching a nice variety of fish there buddy. Yeah they seem to offer a really good range of rods, I'd like to try the akios airlyte 355, reckon it would be great for bassing. 👍🎣🎣
Oops, I forgot to leave a comment 🤦♂️, great to see your stepson catching his first conger 💪. Got to be careful of those eels, even the small ones 😂🐟🎣
Lol, no worries mate, yeah that little conger defo gave me a bit of a pinch, Jacob was well happy to finally get into his first conger though🎣👍👍
Good video once again. Chuffed for Jacob getting his first conger.
The GTR is a lovely rod to cast. If you're finding the tip a bit springy, lengthen your drop , then put the power in at the end of the cast.
I do think we tend to be more tentative when the rod is not ours.
Akios prototypes are cast by many anglers with different casting styles and abilities .
Don't be afraid to give it some welly .
Thanks mate, yeah he was so happy to get one, and thanks for the tips regarding the rod. He's got it back now, but I had a second go with it, and did find I got on better the second time. It feels so much different to my other rods, but I love the way it sits in the tide👍🎣🎣
Great session fella, really well filmed aswell 👌🏼👊🏼
Thanks mate, I get super lazy with my camera work. I tend to plonk it in one place and be done with it🤣🎣👍👍
Another great video mate
Thanks buddy, was great to get out with him, and for him to get his target 👍🎣🎣
Nice to see you back Gareth 😁
Thanks John, but I reckon you've just watched river side with me😉👍🎣🎣
Great video again mate 🎣👍
Thanks buddy, glad you enjoyed. Hopefully some bigger fish will be around soon👍🎣🎣
Good Morning Dylan , another great video your face said it all when Jake got his conger , well done both of you's , i have the akios fury & its ideal for what i use it for ie sandy beaches plus the river mouth , so as always take care & tight lines
Thanks mate, yeah I was pretty chuffed for him. From what I can gather, the fury is a great rod, I did toy with the idea of getting one, the reviews are great👍🎣🎣
Top vid again mate target achieved . Look cracking rods those akios and nice of knobby to let you try it out. See you next weekend mate :)
Thanks mate, yeah I had another go last time out, I do like it, but it feels completely different to my current rods, and a bit heavier too. Nit sold on it yet, but maybe a few more goes, and it may seem itself on my rod rest🤣👍🎣🎣
Great vid, great session. Well done
Thanks very much, really appreciate it👍🎣🎣
Nice video buddy. I actually look forward to seeing your vids now each week.
Last time I went fishing I made the mistake of using my teeth to tighten a knot. It slipped and got a 2/0 j hook in my lip had to pull it right through and cut the hook😅😅 it's dangerous out there hahaha look forward to tye next one 👍
Ouch mate, that sounds nasty, so many ways of hurting yourself fishing. I was chatting to someone, and he had a crack off mid cast, and caught his gripper in the back of his head, still clipped up🤮🎣🎣
🐟🐠
👍🎣🎣
Dylan you pal are one TOP step DAD. 😉👍
Good on ya Jake. 👍
Keep these days going lad's. Your a great team. 😃
BIG 👍
Mate that's awesome, thank you, I'm sure when he sees these comments his enthusiasm will increase and his confidence too🎣👍👍
Fantastic video Dylan, how's the finger? Watching this on a 65inch TV is like being with you...I always learn something new every video. Tight lines mate.
Thank you Simon, very kind, did you learn not to put your fingers near a congers mouth by any chance🤣👍🎣🎣
@@FrugalOutdoors yes a few years ago on boat out of Brighton marina I caught a 67 pounder on mackerel flapper...bloody thing bit my index finger to the bone...had ten stitches very painful...although everybody on board thought it was hilarious.
Have you tried a continental style match rod? I have a 14ft 3oz casting weight rod and it's awesome. It's light enough that I can cast it all day, whippy enough that I can whack out a 3oz lead 150yds easy, but powerful enough to handle anything up to around 20lb.
Hey mate, I had the competition match st from tronix pro, which was great with the smaller leads, and would handle bigger leads aswell. But those types of rods, are a bit too soft for our tides here. I think for bream fishing in the summer they would be ok, with 4/5 Oz grippers, but most of my fishing is with 6oz grippers. I do want something a bit lighter for those breamy bassy days though👍🎣🎣
I like to fish two rods, Gives you a chance to fish two totally different baits to see what's about.
I must admit, I prefer to use two rods at all times, even when bassing. I know the experts will say it should be one when bassing, and hold on to it, and I get that for some situations, but when you're just chucking a couple of baits out, the. I'm two all the way 🎣👍👍
Conger bites hurt Dylan defo, had one on the foot once OUCH
They do that mate, I'm going to say if it could get your foot in it's mouth, it was probably bigger than mine🤣👍🎣🎣
another good watch mate, half hour of viewing zips by. you got thru some bait, inbetween bites ,how long do you leave the rods out? like us coarsies ,we time our casts, do you sometimes do the same?
Thanks is mate, yeah I generally leave them for about 20 minutes, some times longer if I forget, or less if I get frustrated 🤣🤣🎣🥴🥴
Hello mate, been loving the videos recently, was wondering where you got your bait needles from
Thanks mate, to be honest with you, I don't know where I got the double one from, I also have a Gemini needle for worm, and a shepherd's crook for the dongles. I sell the dongle ones on eBay, but not the others sorry buddy👍🎣🎣
I made that mistake borrowing a rod off Nobby, I'm now the proud owner of a Zulcron super lite 🤣🤣🤣
🤣🤣yeah don't do it man, he's got a certain way of persuasion about him🤣🤣👍👍🎣
@@FrugalOutdoors no persuasion from Nobby, I fell in love with the super lite. Fantastic rod
Can i just make an observation mate.to do with your rods as i think that you are not using fixed spool rods you're using multiplier rods which will reduce your casting distance and you technically are using them back to front.the reason i say it is because of the amount of eyes and their size .normally a fixed spool rod has fewer eyes and they are bigger on a fixed spool rod.nasty little eel that mate be careful with the bigger ones cos they'll take your finger right off.lol.
Hey Chris mate, I believe they are both hybrid rung, as in for both multiplier and fixed spool, I could be wrong on that though. I think the first eye is larger and slightly further away from the butt section to allow for a smoother line run. 👍🎣🎣
@@FrugalOutdoors ah right ok only wondering as apart from the eyes the strength of the rod when casting is on opposite sides with multiplier and fixed spool because as you know you hold the rod differently with each one.like i say was just an observation tight lines mate.👍👍
