    Report on-board Size Matters

    Species caught: Ballan Wrasse, Bullhuss, Cod, Conger Eel, Dab, Dogfish, Gurnard (Gray, Red & Tub), Herring, Ling, Mackerel, Pollack, Poor Cod, Pouting, Scad, Smoothound (Common & Starry), Sprat, Thornback Ray, Tope and Whiting.

    After the very poor August we had, September has been a breath of fresh air. The weather could not have been better for the time of year, the water was clear and there was lots of Mackerel, Herring and Sprats around which brought all the other species of fish back to Liverpool Bay - including dolphins, seals and a big sun fish that swam around the boat one day!

    Notable Charters

    06/09/14 - We had a group of individuals on-board and decided to give the River Mersey a go as we had not fished there for about a month.

    The lads enjoyed the day catching 14 Thornback Ray to 8lb 1oz, Whiting to 1lb and Dogfish.

    18/09/14 - We had a group of anglers who booked to go wreck fishing. Most of the wrecks were poor, but on the last two wrecks we landed on a few fish to keep the lads happy!

    They caught 22 Pollack to 8lb 3oz, Tub Gurnard, Red Gurnard, Gray Gurnard, Pouting and Mackerel.

    20/09/14 - We had Southport S.A.C on-board they wanted to go wreck fishing for Pollack. I told them the wrecks where very hit and miss, so we decided to anchor a small wreck on a big patch of rough ground.

    They all enjoyed the trip catching plenty of fish and totalled 12 species, Bull Huss to 12lb, Ling, Cod Dogfish, Mackerel, Tub Gurnard, Red Gurnard, Gray Gurnard, Whiting, Pouting, Poor Cod and Dab.

    Fish of the month goes to Nigel for catching a 13lb 11oz Bullhuss, Nigel wins a free individual trip to use when he wishes. Well done Nigel!
