    Report on-board Size Matters

    Size Matters has now finished on the Mersey for this winter season. The season started off very well back in October/November with good numbers of Rays and Cod showing in the Mersey and the wrecks where full of Pollack.

    Sadly from the end of December after that very cold spell we had and all the rain,
    the Mersey just never recovered and steadily got worse. On the plus side our last trip out we headed a few miles offshore and the lads caught 19 Rays to 10lb 8oz, Dogfish, Whiting and Dabs.
    In the next few weeks the Rays will be back in the Mersey in big numbers and hopefully a spring run of Cod will follow them for the charter boats who fish there all year around.

    As a whole this winter season on the Mersey was very poor compared to the previous years, anglers where expecting 30 to 70 Cod per day but we where lucky to get 15 keepers per day. I would like to thank everyone who fished with us this winter season on the Mersey, even though the fishing was not the best my hard core regulars still kept booking trips and kept us 98% fully booked all season.

    If you like to fish from a charter boat that is clean, well maintained, fast, very comfortable and with more deck space than the QE2 then Size Matters is the boat for you.

    Here is a list of available dates sailing from Liverpool next winter. If you want weekends or midweek with good sailing times then you need to book early. I will update my calendar on my website and CBUK as soon as possible so you can see what dates are available.
