    Great video Billy I sometimes like a go at shore fishing for Conger. The spot you were fishing reminds me of a place on the Shannon I fish in the Autumn months .The pier at Carrigaholt, its always been Conger city for me a fish a chuck. I usually give it a go in similar weather conditions as you were fishing because the Clare beaches are too rough for Bass fishing and this is a great alternative. Loved this one can we have some more please.
