I fished this match yesterday., format was heaviest round , heaviest flat, two rods with two hooks on each. Only ten anglers fished it and most opted for a rod out for rays and another close in for flats. The fishing was dire! No rays or dogs showed, and small whiting were the species most common but less than 6 inches long mostly. The company was excellent though and Carl Edwards, kept everyone happy with a steady stream of sausage baps, thanks Carl. He, alongside with jimmy Kelly helped me get my gear on the wall so thanks lads, I owe you one. Weather was perfect but it was disappointing that the rays didn't show.. Surprisingly there were no other anglers down there, did they know something we didn't?

Thanks to the Mersey anglers for organising it and helping me get there.
The guards on the gate were doing there job very well, no doubt because of the fatality at the dock through the week . the HSE must be crawling all over the place.
