    June was the best month we have had on Brigand so far! We had some very good catches of Cod, Pollack and Ling on the offshore marks and inshore we had very good catches of Thornback Rays and Smoothound. We also totalled 31 species and did our first weeks charter to the Isle of Man.

    Notable Charters:

    03/06/14 - We had 9 individual anglers on-board fished a mark 30 plus miles from Liverpool and it was none stop action they caught:

    62 Cod for 2lb to 8lb 14oz
    9 Pollack from 3lb to 6lb 2oz
    1 Ling 3lb 12oz
    Along with Mackerel, Pouting, Whiting and Red Gurnard.

    04/06/14 - We again had 9 individual anglers on-board I told them what the fishing was like the day before and they all said let's give the same mark a go. I was thinking I hope this day doesn't turn out to be one of those "you should of been here yesterday" days. But we did just as good if not better than the day before! There was lots of fish there and here is what they caught:

    64 Cod from 2lb to 10lb 2oz including 7lb 13oz, 8lb 7oz, 9lb 1oz
    15 Pollack from 2lb to 8lb 8oz
    3 Ling from 3lb to 5lb 8oz,
    Along with Tub Gurnard, Red Gurnard, Mackerel, Weaver, Scad, Whiting and Pouting.

    21/06/14 - We had 8 lads from Jaguar Halewood book Brigand to fish offshore for Tope, Huss and Rays. Unfortunately, the weather was too bad to do that so I give them the option to fish the Mersey as I had not fished the Mersey for about 3 weeks. The first two hours where slow but as low water approached they where into the fish. They caught 18 Thornback Rays to 6lb 10oz, Flounder, Whiting and Eel.

    Fish of the Month goes to Bernie Forshaw with a nice 10lb 2oz summer cod. Well done Bernie! You win a free trip on-board Brigand to use when ever you want.
