| Re: bait? I am told its ok for congers and huss??? When i last went serious congering, we chopped up a load of scad i had caught the evening before and used it as groundbait to attract the conger.I caught a 16lb eel and my friend (silverfish on here) had one about the same size. |

| Re: bait? What a lot of Brit anglers don't know is how good they are to eat. Most housewives don't do boney fish. Mine does .... split a scad (horse mackerel) open like a kipper. Remove the backbone with a sharp knife. Pick out the rib bones with tweezers and barbeque or grill for 5 minutes .... they're naturally oily. Absolutely unbeatable with fresh baked bread and butter. No wonder the Euros like 'em!  |
