Report on-board Size Matters
February was one of the best months we have ever had – over 13 charters on the Mersey, we boated a total of 507 sizeable cod from 2lb to 5lb 4oz.

The best day was when we had Tasker’s Angling onboard for the monthly charter, they totalled 78 sizeable cod from 2lb to 4lb.
We will only be fishing the Mersey until March 17th, then Brigand will be coming out the water for general maintenance. We will then start charters in May, mostly targeting offshore marks for all the summer species. -

The wind has not been kind to us but we have managed a couple of trips out and what is showing is a lot of codling between 12oz and 1.5lb with a taste for black lug in the shallower water.

we have also had quite a few coalies upto 2.5lb and lots of huss upto 4lb.....nothing worthy of a photo ,but it shows that the fish are there and that fishing continues through the winter (when the wind allows!!) from portpatrick -

Report on-board Size Matters
During January the weather was very unsettled; in total we lost nine charters. This is unheard of in the Mersey because is it so sheltered, but the constant NW and NNW gales kept us in the marina.

When we did get out there was plenty of cod being caught, most days seen 30 to 45 cod in the 3lb to 4lb bracket along with plenty of big whiting, dabs and odd thornback ray to 10lb.
Some boats got in to a few bigger cod to 19lb, but fish of this size are few and far between in the Mersey.
Most of the cod being caught are fresh run fish, this is a good sign and should see the cod staying in the Mersey till mid March. -

Report on-board Lucky Dip II
We managed to get out for a few trips just after new year and hit into lots of good Whiting(2 1/2lb), Codling, and Huss to 10lb+. A few smaller specimens made up a bag of over 100 fish with a nice last minute Haddock of just over 3lb being kept for dinner that night, not to shabby for a last minute trip out. We are trying a few new methods including some of the Isome worms and some slow jigs for over a few new wrecks. Keep your ears open for a major development for the company and you anglers along with a few events we are putting together
