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.
