Whilst my primary ‘job’ of the day was to wield the camera, the guys were rapidly making their way through the baits bringing a succession of conger eels to the boat one after another. The snakes were in a good feeding mood this day, giving everyone plenty of rod bending action. A few fish were lost, along with some leads, as we showed Jon, Pete and Kevin how to coax the eels up quickly off the bottom before they could go to ground and snag any gear. Before long, even more eels were being brought boat side, the occasional one being allowed onboard for photos whilst the vast majority were quickly T-barred at the side. Thus with all this activity, the bait was soon needing a replenish and I took it upon myself to be chief bait angler for the boat.
