    SAT 13TH OF OCTOBER JOES TRIP,
    We left the marina at 11.15am to flat calm conditions. We gave the lads a demo of how to use the gear and how to put there bait on correctly.we had anchored a mark which we thought would produce cod although it is early,as it is so easy to get fed up with whiting all day,so we had big baits for cod,the first fish came in about 35 mins a nice 2.5 lb cod we stayed here for three hours and then made a couple of moves before we settled down and fished the flood our total catch was 5 codling and many whiting,overall it was a good day for the time of year it should be different on the next set of tides

    Wednesday 10th October 2012 - Andrew and the Lads from Wigan

    We locked out of the marina at 7:30am with 5 anglers on who had booked the whole boat for the day. There was a bit of a breeze but nothing to be bothered about, so we headed up the river to our first mark of the day and dropped the anchor in. It didnt take long for the first fish of the day to be netted in the shape of a 4lb Thornback. A few whiting followed this in and then another thornback of 5lb 7oz. Plenty of whiting and doggies until the first cod of the day was caught by Andrew which was around the 2lb mark. We then decided on a move out of the river.

    Once we had anchored, everybody began fishing again. The same as before the doggies and whiting began to show, until another thornback of around 3lb was landed. Some Dabs were caught before we decided to go and try another mark back down the river.

    Yet again were got hammered by the doggies and whiting. With some more dabs and a couple more Thornbacks. Andrew sealed the day off with another Cod Just under 2lb.

    A good bunch of lads who we will be seeing next month for another trip after Cod.

    Sunday 7th October 2012 - Mike Vella and the Gang

    We locked out of the marina todady at 5:15am. Headed out of the mersey to try a mark. Dropped the anchor and were immidiately into whiting. Plenty of whiting were brought aboard in the first hour. Then we had the first cod of the day. Which was 3lb. After this we had 2 more cod there and then decided to try for some rays over slack. We moved across the river and dropped the anchor again. It didnt take long for the dabs, whiting and doggies to start feeding, with lots boated. Then came the first ray of the day falling to Mike which weighed in at approx 5lb. A few more rays were caught around the 4lb mark until Geordie Mark boated his PB Thornback Ray which weighed 10lb 10oz, and another PB Thornback for Paddy.

    Another move across the river resulted in a few more whiting and doggies along with 2 more cod . We then moved down the river onto the bank and had a few more cod to 3lb. Plenty of whiting around the 1lb mark.

    Overall a cracking day with a good bunch of lads. Looking forward to seeing you all next time.

    Saturday 6th October 2012 - Grove Sea Angling Club

    We locked out of the marina at 4:15am, and headed up the river in lovely conditions with the 3 Graces fully illuminated. We got to the first mark and dropped the anchor. After Sorting the guys out, everybody got down to fishing. It didnt take long for the first whiting to be pulled aboard. Shortly after this the first cod was pulled in, which weighed about 2lb. As the sun came up plenty more whiting and were pulled in. We decided on a move as slack was approaching and headed further out of the river for thornbacks and and dabs over slack. Within 5mins of arriving the first thornback was boated at 5lb 7oz, plenty more followed with more dabs, whiting and doggies.

    The decision was made to move back down the river to go for cod again which we did. Plenty more dabs and whiting were pulled in. Total Cod for the day was 3, partly down to the amount of freshwater in the Mersey at the moment.

    I went out this morning to see what was about.It was a morning tide locking out at 8 o'clock,I only went a short way to the edge of the channel and although there was a good tide flowing I had no trouble holding the bottom with 8 oz weights with grip wires .Catch was 7 whiting and two small codling, It might take a while for the river to get back to normal after all the rain of the last week
