All Activity

Just for a little info A bit quiet at lunchtime , so I had a little look at the recorded congers on here 2021 one congers recorded Biggest 8lb 2022 4 congers recorded Biggest 44lb 2023 2 congers recorded Biggest 45lb 2024 one conger recorded Biggest 11lb 4oz 2025 2 congers to date Biggest 46lb That is not accurate reflection of numbers caught, as we all get pestered by the small ones. It is just a case of getting rid of them without bringing them onboard or weighing. On Saturday we had at least 25 to the boat.

Thanks Steve Sorry to be a pain

I've asked AT which list is correct and asked them to get the lists in sync. Once I've got a reply I'll post it.

I know that was discussed Rob, but did not know that we changed anything 1. Our website still shows 40lb 2. How many 40lb and 50lb congers have been recorded in past years?, Jerry?? I do not care what sizes/ rules we fish too. But I would like to know what they are and they are correct.

We agreed 50lb as there were so many 40lb ones..........I guess there has been a reset along the way at some point. R

Just had a simular problem. Our list for congers is 40lb and some others for our area show 50lb When did that change?

Perhap secret Ray Mark or half Bank? Near Old Harry. Allan.

Hi malc, think you may be talking about what Allan green referd to me as banana banks I reckon there is at least two and may be three, pm Allan may be. ( fisheagle). Sure he will prob get you some numbers, hope this helps. Colin

Hi Dale, i will put a reminder up about a week beforehand, if the weather looks kind just post your boats name, your crew, and which day you are fishing. Hopefully there will be other members signing in so basically follow the thread. Tight Lines

Hopefully some one might know them perhaps with a different name. Good luck

Hi Gents thanks for all of the replies Sparky boat is going well,to all we regularly fish south and south east Needles banks looking for something diffferent

I think this is just to get an idea of numbers and raise interest. Registering, I would imagine, will come nearer the time. Terry.

We might have been given a bum steer???

Thats a shame as there were some very good marks on there . Never heard of half moon banks ?

Hi we deleted all of the data on Marichelle??? we have no numbers for the half moon banks

Hi Malc, there are plenty of banks this way on Marichelle's plotter if you still have it ? I'd agree with Rob , there should be some for that way on plotter too.

I'd head south of the needles!!!

Do we need to register for this or does simply stating on this thread to count me in (weather permitting) sufficient?

Not sure where you are referring too Malc. Send some rough numbers over, and we can have a look. Not sure I would steam all the way from Lymington to fish Old Harry.

Hi Gents looking to fish the half moon banks and around Old Harry this year from Lymington any info will be helpful ie species tide strength etc

You obviously miss heard me. I said Vol-au-vent here! Not Volunteer. 😜

And as they say Martin. ONE volunteer is worth a thousand recruits 😂

That looks like a solid splice definitely a big improvement over a knotted mess! A well-spliced retrieval rope will not only be safer but also much smoother to handle when retrieving your anchor. It’s great to see DIY skills put to good use, and your effort clearly paid off. Nothing wrong with a bit of self-praise when the job is well done!

Oh Bottom ! 😪

Oh how we do love a volunteer 🙂
