    Report on-board Size Matters

    Species caught: Cod, Dab, Thornback Ray, Whiting.

    January has been the best month so far for winter Cod fishing on the Mersey. We have seen some very good catches of Cod, big Whiting, Dabs, and the odd Thornback Ray. We only had one bad day in January that was down to the weather conditions on the day and not being able to present the baits correctly on the seabed. With the Cod being late arrivals this season, we expect February to continue the current trend of good numbers and decent sized fish.

    Notable Charters:

    January 8th saw the biggest Cod landed on Brigand so far this season; a nice fish of 12lb 2oz. On that day we also had another 10 Cod from 2lb 8oz to 4lb 8oz, along with plenty of whiting and dabs.

    January 24th was a good day to be on the Mersey. Eight anglers on-board who managed to land a total of 23 Cod from 2lb 8oz to 5lb 8oz, along with the ever present whiting and dabs.

    On January 25th the good sport continued from the previous day, landing a total of 14 Cod from 3lb to 4lb 8oz; and the lads were kept busy with small codling, whiting and dabs.

    The Fish of the Month goes to Mark Sweeney for his 12lb 2oz Cod, caught on January 8th. Mark wins a free individual charter courtesy of Brigand Charters. Congratulations, Mark!
