    Report on-board Size Matters

    Over the last week there have been some nice cod getting caught in the Mersey.
    The biggest I have heard of is 12lb with a few around 9lb to 10lb. On Brigand we have been catching up to 12 cod per day to 7lb 10oz (most are about 5lb to 6lb), thornback ray to 5lb, whiting to 1lb 8oz and dabs.
    On two of the days we fished spring tides, one day we fished a mark about 3 miles from new brighton. We caught hundreds of whiting and dabs along with the odd codling to 3lb, flounder to 1lb 8oz and small thornback rays. On the second day we fished the Mersey mostly targeting the back eddies and marks where we could get out the main tide flow. We caught our biggest cod of the season so far 8lb 12oz, a long with a few more around the 4lb mark. There was still plenty of whiting and dabs to be caught over low water, with one angler catching six dabs on a six hook trace I have never seen that done before.
    During February we will be doing a few more charters on spring tides and if the weather is kind we will venture off shore if anglers are willing to give it ago.
