Or if you know someone who has some and doesn't mind me poppong round to collect, please let me know

Hope someone can help

Last time I was at Preston docks (having my dinner in the works van not fishing unfortunatley) . I was watching a guy fishing? in the main dock by the carpark in front of Morrisons . He turned up with 2 carrier bags one full of Sella and the other he had a packet of butties and a tray of what looked like diced stewing beef . He then whipped out what looked like a boat rod from under his coat , baited up with the beef and cast out into the dock . Couriosity was getting the better of me by now so I went over to ask what he was up to . From behind a cloud of wacky baccy and the stink of stale ale he told me he was after conger ...... suprise

Wish I could have stayed to see if he got any big grin
