    Report on-board Size Matters

    The winter season has now come to an end for Size Matters on the mighty Mersey.

    It was a much better winter season then the two previous seasons that’s for sure.

    Our best day on the Cod was 56 keepers, this was on February 18th and we averaged 21 Cod per trip over the season.

    Early in the season there was lots of Rays about up to 40+ per trip taking the Cod baits, this was also when we had our bigger Cod this season, normally we catch the bigger Cod from mid December to March.

    There was a lack of Cod from 8lb to 10lb this season with our best only being 9lb 1oz, but the amount of Cod from 2lb to 4lb made up for it compared to the previous two winter seasons.

    The off shore wrecking was about as good as it gets, our best day was 120 Pollack and we averaged 59 Pollack per trip when we could get out.

    Most of the Pollack where 4lb to 8lb and the biggest went 12lb 8oz, normally you can fish all year on the wrecks from Liverpool and only see the odd double figure Pollack but this year they where in good numbers.

    The most surprising thing this winter season was when we went to the off shore wrecks in January catching plenty of Pollack to double figures and they where full of roe.

    This was the first time I have ever seen Pollack on the wrecks in the winter and with roe in, it just shows how rising sea temperature is changing fish migration around the UK.

    We will be returning to Liverpool around mid October, if you would like to fish onboard
    Size Matters next winter season then you need to start booking now especially if you want weekend dates, wrecking dates or good sailing times.

    Now it’s time for us to head north of the wall (Scotland) where we are loved by the many and feared by the few ha ha.
