    Report on-board Size Matters

    Size Matters is back on the mighty Mersey, after the 360 mile steam from Plymouth. On the way back we managed to do a few hours fishing, catching Haddock to 4lb, Whiting to 2lb and a 45lb Porbeagle. At the start of the first set of neap tides on the Mersey fishing was slow with rays to 8lb and Cod to 4lb. As the tides dropped the fishing got much better catching Thornback Ray to 8lb and Cod to 7lb 6oz. At times the rays are that thick on the ground we have had to move up to 4 times on a tide to try and get away from them. We have been catching 40 to 50 rays a trip along with Cod, Whiting, Dabs and Doggies. On one of the days I had lads from Taskers Angling out with me for there monthly charter, the weather was perfect so I said to the lads do you fancy going Wrecking for a change. All the lads said yes, our chosen wrecks where off the coast of the Isle of Man so it was a long steam out but it was well worth it thank god!!! In the first two hours the lads landed 51 Pollack to 7lb 8oz and they finished the day with 86 Pollack. From now on if we get very good weather and the lock times are right I will offer my anglers a chance at Wrecking instead of fishing the Mersey through out the winter months. The cost of Wrecking is £80 per person for individuals or whole boat is £800. Please note we will be traveling 60 plus miles and fuel is expensive in Liverpool Marina.
