A change of scene for me this week. A spot I scouted out last year, but never got round to fishing, on the river Mersey.

The Mersey has always been hit and miss for me, some good sessions, but plenty of blanks too. This time, I wanted to target the Cod, so with this in mind I used pulley fennel rigs, and decent sized baits at varying ranges. To ensure some entertainment for both you and me, I grabbed my Sonik Dominatorx travel rod and used a really small, light setup close in which gave some real fu through the session.

5 species in this session, Dab, Flounder, Whiting, Rockling and Cod, a good couple of hours, in great weather considering most of the country saw snow that day!

Take care & tight lines!
