    Report on-board Size Matters

    During November we only managed to get to the wrecks twice and it was well worth the effort. The lads caught plenty of Pollack to 6lb, we will continue to fish the off shore wrecks throughout the winter. Please note this involves traveling for up to 3.5 hours each way, all Wrecking charters are £80 per person. If the weather is to bad to get to the wrecks then we will be fishing the Mersey.

    Our planned charter trips to fish the banks and Queens channel on the spring tides during November where cancelled due to the strong NW winds. We have lots of these trips fully booked for December but there is still available dates for January and February. Cost is £45 per person all tackle is included and hot drinks.

    As for the Mersey the the cod are starting to make more of an appearance especially towards the end of the month. An average day seems to a dozen Cod a day to 7lb 14oz with rays to 10lb, any amount of whiting to 1lb 8oz and Dabs. These charters are £45 per person includes all tackle and hot drinks.

    Personally I think the seasons are getting later each year and it won’t be long till the Cod arrive in big numbers consistently.
    Last winter we had our best day in February 64 Cod, I would settle for that again this winter.
