The conger eel is found all around the coast of Britain. It favours wrecks, reefs and rough, rocky habitats. During the hours of darkness they tend to swim in shallower waters closer to the shore.
Boat anglers catch most of the larger specimens. Breakwaters, harbour walls, jetties, piers and rocky estuaries will also produce good catches. Thunder and storms are said to stimulate the feeding habits of freshwater eels and sea anglers believe these kind of weather conditions also improve the chances of catching conger. == Conger eel are heavy, powerful fish. Choose a well built boat rod of about two and a half metres in length. A sturdy multiplier reel is essential to hold plenty of heavy duty fishing line. Large weights are needed to keep the bait deep in the water. Take care when handling long sea hooks because some are manufactured with sharp barbs on the shanks! Tackle shop owners will offer helpful advice when you are selecting equipment. == A general rule followed by anglers is the bigger the fish you're after, then, the bigger the bait you need. This rule certainly applies to conger eel fishing. One of the most successful bait for conger is freshly caught mackerel. Mackerel is an oily fish and when cut up and placed on the hook will emit a pungent odour that will attract predators. Another way to attract conger with mackerel bait is to make a "flapper". This is an entire mackerel with the backbone and guts removed. The side fillets of the mackerel flap around in the swell of the tide or with the jerk of the rod. This movement resembles an injured or vulnerable fish and will prove irresistible to a hungry predator. Being part of the conger's natural diet, squid is a popular bait to use in deep water. == When you get a bite on the hook be patient. Give the conger time to take the bait into its mouth. Pull the rod up sharply and strike. The fish may descend into a deep dive and it is pointless to try and stop it. Let line out from the reel and wait. Start reeling in when the dive has stopped but watch out for a repeat performance.

Congers do not have legs. A conger is an eel. Eels move through the water like snakes and do not have fins or feet.

A conger catcher is a type of fishing device used to catch conger eels. It typically consists of a hook or baited trap that is set underwater to attract and capture the eels. Conger catchers are commonly used by fishermen to target these elusive and prized eel species.
Common Eels are found in freshwater (although they are born in the sea and return there to bred) and have the latin name Anguila anguila. Other types of eel, which spend all of their lives in the seas or oceans are Moray Eels and Conger Eels.
