    Report on-board Size Matters

    Species caught: Ballan Wrasse, Bull Huss, Cod, Conger Eel, Dab, Dogfish, Flounder, Gurnard (Tub, Red & Gray), Ling, Mackerel, Plaice, Pollack, Poor Cod, Pouting, Scad, Silver Eel, Smoothound (Common & Starry), Thornback Ray, Tope, Weaver, and Whiting.

    July has been a very strange month this year with not many big Tope showing but lots of small Tope inshore. The Mackerel have been very hit and miss - one day you can fill the boat but the next they are very scarce.

    The inshore fishing for Thornback Rays, Smoothound and Flatfish has been very good, while offshore the Cod have moved on but have now been replaced with some nice Pollack and Ling.

    Notable Charters:

    08/07/14 - Had a group of individuals onboard who wanted to fish the offshore marks. Here is what they caught:

    16 Pollack from 2lb to 7lb 10oz,
    15 Cod from 2lb to 8lb 5oz,
    Along with Ling, Tub Gurnard, Gray Gurnard, Whiting, Pouting and Mackerel.

    10/07/14 - Had 8 lads from Taskers angling onboard for their monthly trip. With the weather being too bad to fish offshore the only option was to fish the river Mersey. And what a day the lads had! They caught:

    23 Thornback Rays to 8lb 10oz,
    7 Cod around 2lb,
    2 Smoothound to 4lb 8oz,
    Whiting, Dab and Codling.

    Better than having the day cancelled!!!

    Fish of the month goes to peter rose with a 9lb 2oz Pollack! Peter wins a free days charter fishing to use on Brigand. Well done Peter!!!
