Implantation
Although especially present in the Atlantic and in Handle, one also finds Conger common in the Mediterranean.
, many, populate in fact all the seas of the areas moderate and tropical.
Lifestyle
In these seas, he likes to find refuge in the reefs and the wrecks, and this until depths of 3.r. Caché, he leaps on his preys without preventing. Like others, hardly liking the light, he prefers the night to nourish himself. If it sometimes happens to you to catch one of them, made very attention with its jaw which is a frightening weapon.
In period of reproduction, the Conger migrates towards areas located more at the broad one. The sexual maturity of Conger intervenes between 5 and 15 years with an important physical transformation going until a degeneration of its skeleton and its teething. After the abrasion, the adult Congers die.
The young people, after 1 to 2 years spent out of water deep, will join the coasts then.
Fish
One finds Conger in Handle, the Atlantic and the Mediterranean. It is a particularly voracious and demanding carnivore. Also, he will appreciate only a and whose size corresponds to its enormous appetite. Fish like sardine, herring and mackerel, mackerel but also the cephalopods like the squid, the tidal wave, and the octopus is appropriate to him perfectly.
On the edge, one can fish it since the rocks, the works of the ports and long ears, bordered by ripraps. One can take it also with the surf casting in particular on the beaches of the Atlantic and Languedoc, located near rock areas or of a wreck. This powerful predator lives in holes, in the rocks or anfractuosities between the blocks which protect the dams. So during the summer, it is abundant; it is at the time of the cold season that it is easier to capture and more particularly large specimens.

Bridge: ? up to 8 003 079 of eggs
If the records turn between 30 and g, the average weight of the captures is approximately g. The male Congers seldom exceed the meter.
The family of gathers some 150 species.
The dorsal fin starts on the level of the pectoral fins and is bordered of a black . The conger does not have pelvic fins. Its mouth is split beyond the eye and the lips are thick. Its upper jaw is slightly prominent.
Its body is in gray with blackish with a belly often more clearly.

With a calm sea and a night without the moon the fisherman is likely all to be able to capture it. With fallen the night, the Conger leaves its hiding-place to nourish itself. Sometimes the hunger pushes it to venture in the outer harbors and the ports. The day, if it can appear it is with depths much more important. Where food is abundant, the Conger can appear. Thus in the area of , at the time of the season of herrings, in autumn, it approaches the piers in full day.
This fish can reach more than ilos. The conger is one of largest fish than one can take since the edge along our littoral. Since the edge or of one , it is not essential to launch very far its soft food. It should simply be proposed on sand in edge of the ripraps which protect a dam.
The cane must be fixed always well and the brake of the tightened winch, but not locked. Many coastal fishermen their cane and their winch saw to leave to water trained towards the content by a conger machined at the end of the line.

Before the , the carnivore comes the , to taste it, to test its quality, then, if he/she likes the aforementioned, it swallows it and tries to regain its hiding-place at once. The key is thus brutal, the cane is curved. The fisherman, must shoe very quickly and vigorously, the quite high cane, in order to take off the predator of the content. To defend oneself, the Conger will whirl and try to dive to turn over in its hiding-place, or, it will try to find what to clutch itself with its powerful tail. Once the conger is on the surface, with the foot of the work or the headland, a blunder with very long handle is essential to go up it with dryness. But attention, the Conger once taken, will often try to bite with its powerful jaws. You do not precipitate for the without taking some care. A skilled of club on the level of the anus will make it inoffensive.
For these fisheries, a very strong cane from 3 to 4,eters of a power of 200 grams is necessary. The aforementioned must be equipped with manual fixed a record player drum winch, furnished with Nylon of the 40 to the 60/100.
In the Mediterranean, at the time of the summer months, a hardware minus strapping man can be employed, the average weight being located around the 2 or ilos. This being, at the falling night, the beautiful subjects also come towards the edges. The small subjects must be given to water.
The assemblies “sliding” are most effective for the fisheries of these young congers. At the time of the key, this fish very being wary should not feel any resistance.
One can use either a bottom of line with slider, or a bored lead from 100 to 200 grams. Piles up out of steel, long 30 to 60 centimetres, must be armed with a strong hook 3/0 to 8/0. For the consistent soft foods, an assembly out of tandem with two hooks ( 2/0 and 5/0, for example) can appear more effective. The basic soft food is the fresh sardine. The bottom of line is composed of a strong yarn steel finished by “large” triple. After having cut sardine for only the rear party, to make pass the bottom of line in sardine, in manner that it arises with the tail. While firing on bottom from line, triple comes to be plated against the sardine in which one will make enter the points. To ensure the behavior of the soft food, by means of a copper wire, to bind with the birth of the tail.
Caution: There exists a legal size of capture
