    Report on-board Size Matters

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

    February started off very well with some nice Cod being caught in the Mersey, but towards the end of the month, the Cod fishing became patchy on some days and then good on others. The large shoals of Whiting that were present in the Mersey during the Winter have moved off-shore and the Cod will do the same over the course of the next few weeks. With the temperatures rising we’ve seen a few Thornback Rays, Plaice and Flounders being caught which shows that the Spring fish are starting to arrive.

    Notable Charters:

    February 7th seen a small group of anglers who hired the boat, landing 12 Cod between 2lb 8oz and 11lb 8oz. Included in this catch were Cod of 5lb 2oz, 5lb 4oz and 5lb 10oz, along with Whiting, Dabs and plenty of under-sized Codling.

    February 11th was a full boat with a total of 11 Cod caught between 3lb and 11lb 4oz, along with Whiting, Dabs and plenty of under-sized Codling.

    February 21st was another full boat with a total of 13 Cod caught from 3lb 2oz to 7lb 4oz, along with Dabs and plenty of under-sized Codling.

    The Fish of the Month goes to Tom Aldwinckle with his first ever Cod at 11lb 4oz. Although Carl O’Neill caught the largest at 11lb 8oz, he kindly passed the prize onto Tom as this was his first ever Cod and Carl thought Tom deserved it more. Congratulations, Tom!
