    Report on-board Size Matters

    Over the last few weeks most charters have been cancelled due to strong winds, when we have managed to get out the fishing has been very good on the off shore wrecks catching Pollack, Cod, Coalfish and Ling.

    On one of our 23 hour trips we had our regular polish lads from London on board and these lads love there fishing.

    They where very lucky to have amazing weather and fishing to go with it catching over 230 Pollack, Coalfish, Cod and Ling, no monsters most fish where 4lb to 6lb with the biggest at 9lb 8oz.

    On another occasion I had a small group of regulars from Liverpool who booked the boat for three consecutive days to target Tope.

    The weather window was only looking good for two out of the three days so I said to the lads are you up for a little adventure Size Matters style.

    They said yes of course, now the pressure was on to produce the goods because there previous trip with us was a disaster due to all the red tide that had gathered in Liverpool Bay a few weeks earlier.

    I decided to go old school and fish an area I hadn’t been to in over 20 years when I had my warrior 150, on the long steam out one of the lads was quizzing me saying are you sure it’s good fishing where we are going? I said well I hope so or I wouldn’t be traveling all this way ha ha.

    From the moment the anchor went down it was none stop action over 30 Tope to 35lb, plenty of Huss to 13lb 8oz, Rays, Gurnard, Mackerel and Dogfish.

    The lads really enjoyed the first day and wanted to try something different the next day because they had caught enough Tope.

    On the second day we started the morning on the Bass only catching 6 to 2lb and a bonus Turbot, then we headed out to the wrecks the first two drifts we didn’t get a bite then just as I was about to try a different wreck I could see the fish holding about 200ft off the wreck from the next drift on it was game time.

    The lads landed plenty of Pollack, Cod and Coalfish most where 5lb to 8lb with the odd double figure fish.
