Brombourgh Wall

Only a small/midium tide today,and with strong westerly wind and showers forecast,there's no way I'm going to fish Liverpool side of the Mersey to face that weather head on.So Ricky and I went to fish Brombourgh Wall instead,it will be a nice change from all the usual local marks.
Did I just say showers
It was raining cats and dogs for the first 2/3 hours while we there.The rains only clear for a very short while near high water before there're more rains

When the rain stopped,it was nice


Fishing was busy.We were non stop pulling whitings and undersize codlings out on everycast all afternoon.A few of the whitings were over 13".Best codling were about 12"


Bang on high water,Ricky has one of those typical "slack linner" cod bite,the fish was fighting all the way in,it was moving with some speed right under the wall...one second it was to the right,then left next second.We were so convince it was a big cod as we only fish with lugs,no crab or any other fishy bait at all.

But..........
.....a bleeding 9lb1oz tagged thornback ray


Because the fish was tagged,I now had contact Liverpool Museum RayWatch Project team....No,we're not trying to claim the £4 reward,but trying to help,to supply them the update informations and photos
Hope anyone catching a tagged thornback ray in the future will do the same to help them.
