    Report on-board Size Matters

    ATTENTION ALL ANGLERS..
    Size Matters will be in Liverpool for the winter Cod season on the 20th October and will be available for charters from October 23rd to April 9th. Kevin will be fishing neap tides in the Mersey and Spring tides over the banks and channels in Liverpool Bay. Size Matters will be sailing from Liverpool Marina and most charters will be 9 to 10 hours depending on lock times each day. It has also been known for Kevin to stay out for up to 13 hours at no extra charge!!

    ABOUT THE SKIPPER..
    Kevin has over 30 years fishing experience and is a mad keen angler who lives for fishing.
    He is so passionate about what he does,
    to him it's not work it's a way of life.
    Kevin is also a fishing guide for one of the UK's leading fishing holiday companies Sportquest and has been involved in many magazine articles both home and abroad.
    He gets job satisfaction from putting his anglers on big fish and helping them catch their personal best fish.

    LIVERPOOL..
    Kevin is a born and bread scouser and he knows the Mersey like the back of his hand.
    The best things about fishing in the winter from Liverpool you are fishing within 10 minutes of leaving the lock gates, you are fishing in well sheltered areas from the strong winds, you have the view of the world famous Liverpool water front just a few hundred yards away and best of all is the fishing. Last year our best day on the Cod was 64 keepers to 15lb 8oz, our best day on the Thornback rays was 56 to 13lb 5oz!!!

    THE VESSEL SIZE MATTERS..
    Please note Size Matters is 45ft in length and is 16ft wide. This provides a massive deck space and can easily accommodate 12 anglers in comfort, some anglers even bring fold out camp chairs there is that much room.
    Cost for the whole boat charter is £450 maximum 12 anglers and individuals are £45 per person. All charters include top quality rod and reel hire, all your rigs, weights and hot drinks. Bait can be arranged if you need it, black lug is £3 per pack of 10, squid is in 1lb boxes and costs £4 per box.

    ONBOARD FACILITIES..
    We do not do food just quality fishing charters but there is a microwave and kettle onboard if you would like to use them.
    The wheelhouse can seat up to 10 anglers and is fully heated; perfect if it's a wet cold winter day or night to dry out and warm up.
    There is heated and spacious toilet facilities you can use at your convenience, but must be kept clean at all times.
    If you want to keep your catch for the table Kevin will professionally fillet it so you don't have to do it when you get home after a long day at sea.
