we locked out at 7-30 ish into a very lumpy mersey, we had 5 on board, dropped anchor at one of our favorite cod marks with in 10 minutes the first one came aboard it was also the biggest of the day just pushing 4 pounds,it fished spasmodic all day 2 or 3 cod then nothing for an hour then another few in between we had whiting some a decent size dabs and doggies, all in all not a bad day we finished up with 15 keepers between 4 of us as one person failed to get a cod
