River mersey

The river is fishing well now with very nice size whitlings caught everywhere.Boats out in the main channels catching 4-5lbs codlings.Wales is best for codlings at the moment plus the odd late bass.

Nice cod mate!

The England board has always been quiet. Many people have said they don't post because they don't want to give marks away...you don't have to, just be general about where you caught. There are just as many lads from England registered on here as there are from Wales, yet the Welsh board gets many, many more postings than the England board, even the Scotland board has more and we have little overall users from Scotland.

There is nothing to be afraid of, get posting!

some excellent venues both sides of the Mersey, quite a few of our members from our forum are student at JMU with two lads from Thailand!
It's getting a little quieter in the River as the Cod begin to move out, still plenty of dabs and small codling ( 3lb) with the larger fish being caught on the charter boats in the river .

It's so good to see how clean the river is now, compared to 10 years ago
