1. 2008 WEBSITE LATEST NEWS

One again not one picture or email this month regarding conger fishing. I am unsure what's happened to the Juniors as I have just had the one picture this year. Are you still out there fishing?

I guess the weather has been inclement? But that cannot be all of the time. So please send me NEWS & PICTURES.

 WEBSITE PICTURES  - When submitting pictures for the BCC WEBSITE it would be a great help to the webmaster if you can name your picture file as shown in the example: john_doe_57lb_5oz.jpg  This ensures that I get the name of the captor and the weight correct. Often I get a file name like IMG_123_7678.jpg which means nothing and with no further information. Thank you!

The British Conger Club Website reports on conger fishing news in the UK and other fishing and marine news worldwide. Please note that some months we do not have many new Conger pictures due to poor weather or I have not received any? I am always grateful for conger pictures, or pictures from any of your trips. Many anglers think the pictures need to be of eels of monster proportions to be published, this is not the case.

When the weather is inclement and you have a trip booked always phone the Skipper for a weather check the day before your trip as the weather at your fishing location may be very different from your home location. He will then advise what to do.
