    Report on-board Size Matters

    Size Matters will be back in Liverpool around October 17th for the winter season on the mighty river Mersey.

    We will be fully kitted out with all new Shimano fishing tackle for you to use free of charge, any damages or losses must be pay for it full.

    Last winter season the Mersey was not the best because of all the extra flood water.
    The previous seasons where excellent, with catches of up to 70+ Cod per trip.

    If you like catching Thornback rays the Mersey is definitely the place for you.
    From October to the start of December the Mersey is paved with them and it’s not uncommon to catch 60+ to over 12lb per trip.

    The wreck fishing from Liverpool last October and November was fantastic, with over 80+ Pollack to 10lb per trip.

    As always each Autumn we get a delivery of top quality frozen black lug, our bait digger has 1400 packs ready for our winter season.

    Available dates for Liverpool this winter season.

  • 22/08/2018 Fishing Report by jon old on High Flyer 2 (Great Yarmouth, Norfolk)

    22 Aug 2018 by jon old

    Report on-board High Flyer 2

    Wed 22nd aug headed out with DXB Water Company ended up 11 miles from port on a bit of ground we dont often fish. Very surprised with small fish in form of a foot long spurdog same with a tope, and perfect little skate one no bigger than a side plate lovely to see nature breeding next years sport hopefully. Ended up with ten small skate returned few spotty dogs, got beaten by a strong southerly breeze instead of the 7 to ten mph westerly forcast! Ended up back inside for some pin whiting and odd small smoothy. Was a enjoyable day looking forward to next trip big thanks to Derek Ball for organising everyone. Cheers jon (High Flyer 2)

    Report on-board Shy-Torque III

    22.08.2018.

    A mixed group on today regular lads fishing with us including Chris Stevenson all the way from Sydney, Australia! He's not quite as regular as the others!!

    A lovely days fishing with plenty of cod and ling for the table. Most of the fish coming up on the bait today. Baited Hokkais working. Baited jigs too and a good few fish to the shads as well.

    Top rod on the day was Bill Barraclough from Barnsley who managed a very impressive 20 cod himself. No big ones to shout about though. Best fish, a ling around the 9 lb mark.

    Room for 3 rods on the boat tomorrow. 23rd August. Individuals very welcome.
    Room for 6 rods on Sunday too after a last minute cancellation. Individuals very welcome.

    Tight lines

  • 19/08/2018 Fishing Report by Rich Ward on Shy-Torque III (Whitby, North Yorkshire)

    19 Aug 2018 by Rich Ward

    Report on-board Shy-Torque III

    19.08.2018.

    1st day back at work today after the break with a mixed group of lads joining us.

    The forecast wasn't brilliant but with the breeze blowing off land we were able to work some stretches of ground close to shore.

    We worked the same strip of ground South of the harbour until around 11.30 am where the lads gathered some 40 or so cod to around 7 lbs. Great sport in 60 ft of water!!
    Sadly, when the wind swung to the North West it did spoil things as we lost the drift.

    Working our way back towards Whitby we stopped on several more marks for just a handful of codlings. Mackerel fishing was our last stop at the bell bouy where the lads were "dipping and filling" with them!

    All in all, a good day for the lads who will be returning in September for their next trip.

    Paul Edwards and his mates are pictured with some of their catch.

    Cheers and tight lines,
    Rich
