Blue Anchor and cuttle is king

I need a conger for my species hunt and Blue Anchor seemed like a safe bet.

Launched about 12.30 onto a windier sea than I was expecting

The photo isn't as clear as it was taken through my new phone case

I took live peeler, frozen peeler, lug, rag, squid, and cuttle .

I was fishing 6/0 hooks and using 8oz leads

I tried for 4 hours trying for a bite and nothing touched the baits except a pout with cod ambitions

It was starting to get a bit depressing .

As the bait dwindled down I opened up an old bag of cuttle with three huge ones in it. Too big for single baits so I cut the tentacles off and used them.

First up a thorny about 5lb

Then a strap conger around the 10lb mark

Then a 69cm bass

Then a smaller bass about 3lb

 

Finished up with a smile on my face after all , all thanks to my manky old cuttle fish

All fish went back for another day
