Sat 8th Sept - Top of the Trent
We locked out of Liverpool Marina at 5:30am and headed out offshore. There was a bit of a chop to begin with, but we knew that it was dropping all day. We headed out to the first mark 28 miles out. The guys started fishing and were into mackeral straight away. Tom was the first of the day to bring a pollack aboard which was around the 4lb mark. We stayed here for about an hour and then decided that it had dropped enough to go even further out. We motored out to try 4 more marks around 10miles further out. Again the guys were into pollack all around the 4lb mark. Plenty of pouting and poor cod were also caught as well as doggies, weevers, gurnard, and a few nice huss with the best weighing in at 14lb falling to Brian. All in all plenty of banter from the lads, surprised there were no Cod caught. But thats Fishing for you. Looking forward to seeing the Lads again for a bash at the Mersey Cod.

14.08.12 INDIVIDUALS TRIP.
We sailed from the marina at 10.15 am to be met with a calm sea we headed out to a mark that had produced well for us.When we arrived we imediately started to fish.with young Chris hooking into a nice 5lb Cod the mark did not produce like we expected so we moved on to another mark ,Aus and Chris now becoming the dog kings we moved to a mark on the way in only to catch a dab no smoothies today i blame it on the small tide we have to blame something thats fishing.Fish caught Dogfish, Cod, Gunard, Weevers,Pouting Poor Cod Bullhuss and Dabs. overall another day full of banter and good humour.

12,08,12 CJS TRIP, We tried to blow this trip of the night before due to a bad weather forecast but some had already travelled up the night before, so after some discusions we agreed to take the trip and stay inshore , so we left the marina with a group of lads that had been on the town all night and came straight to the boat 5 slept all day and the other lads slept for a while on and off in the 23 mph wind we did manage to catch some smooth hounds, mackeral, dabs,etc. With the Lads that stayed awake on and off, at one stage i managed to wind all of the lads rods in and leave them in without any one noticing The moral of the story is dont drink to much before a trip and dont stay up late or you will waste your day plenty of pics to follow.

Stag fishing trip Sat 28th of July
Although we tried to blow this trip of on Friday due to a strong wind forecast.which meant we would not be able to fish the marks off shore that we would of liked to the group wanted to fish the river,I explained that we fish the river only in the winter for cod etc and that they would not be there at this time of the year,So we came up with a plan to fish the river and if the wind decreased we would try to get up the channel for some smooth hound fishing.We left the marina at 7.00am to find the wind blowing 28kts wnw.we headed up the river to let the lads see why we could not go in the channel to be greated with some nice rollers,So we returned to a mark in the river where we stayed until 11.30 am.catching very small whiting .The wind had now eased to17kts wnw so we headed up the channel we could not understand why 5 of the lads where suffering so much until they addmitted they stayed up drinking until 1.30am ( the moral of the story dont have a session the night before a fishing trip ) the groan of the day went to Mark jones who booked the trip for the loudest grunts of the day back to the fishing whiting dabs and smoothhound to 6lb 5 oz Overall the banter did not stop alLday even while some where lining up for a bed in sick bay up the front.

We locked out of the marina at 6am, with the water like oil. We proceeded to our first mark, some 26miles away. Got the lads fishing with mackeral coming aboard straight away. Moved to another mark 3miles further offshore. The lads were into fish from the off. These included Cod to 6lb, Huss to 10lb, Ballan Wrasse, etc. Moved to another mark were we caught a few more species. These were Dabs, Starry and Common Smoothounds etc. There were plenty of fish caught, with a total of 15 different species throughout the day.
Good day was had by all, we look forward to seeing the lads again soon.

Romiley Lib Fishing Club - 21st July 2012
We met the guys at the marina for 2am (Stupid 'O' Clock), for a 2:30am lock out. We locked out and headed offshore for the first mark of the day. We got to the mark and started to fish straight away. Almost immediately we had our first few fish of the day Cod. A few smaller ones were brought aboard which were in size, but the guys returned them. Then a nice knock and fight resulted in a nice 7lber. We decided to move to another mark to fish. Again small codling were brought aboard, with Pollack, Ling, Pouting, Poor Cod etc. Just as we were about to head to our smoothound mark, Micky hooked a nice 7lb 8oz Cod. With this in the bag we moved to the new mark. Baits were prepared and dropped over the side. It didnt take long for the first smoothie of the day to be landed. After this plenty more were brought aboard, aswell as other species. 15 Smoothies were landed in total to go with the dozen Cod we had caught.
Good day with a good bunch of lads, Plenty of Banter.

Saturday 14th July
Group of School Teachers from Liverpool
Out today with a group of guys today. Started off with nice weather. Went to the first mark and had Cod to 6lb 8oz, Pollack, Mackeral. Then as the weather got worse moved inshore on the smoothound. Fishing was slow at first with a few smoothies being brought in then as slack water approached the wind started picking up. On the turn of the tide a few more smoothies were brought in, aswell as Dabs, Doggies etc. Just as we were about to head in a small4lb Thornback was landed.
