Round 2 Preview - Otterspool - Sunday 3rd November

A competitive yet informal set of matches in and around the Mersey. With only 2 fish to count,it`s a good way to get in to match angling.

Round 2 Preview - Otterspool - Sunday 3rd November

Post by Adam Roper »

Round 2 sees us on the Liverpool side of the river for the first of two visits to Otterspool.

As per the league rules this match will be decided by the two best fish of different species to be recorded by each angler. EG best Codling and best Whiting. Two fish of the same species cannot be recorded so if only one species is caught then only the one biggest fish can be recorded.

Codling and Whiting should hopefully feature heavily along with the chance of a Dab, Flounder or even a Thornback Ray.

Booking on will be in the first car park on the right of the Jericho Lane entrance from 09:30 to 10:00

All in will be at 10:30 fishing until 14:30. High Water is at 15:10. We are fishing the early part of the flood to maximize the chance of a few Codling as this is normally the prime time for them.

The boundaries for this match are from the pump house at the bottom of the path all the way down to the old jetty. Nobody is to fish to the left of the pump house nor any further to the right past the jetty.

Please note - as this match is not pegged people are still required to leave a minimum of 10 meters between them and the next angled please do not set up on someone else’s shoulder as everyone’s fishing gets ruined :thumbsup:

Tactics....like Adam says,the codling often feed early on before the whiting move in,so i`ll be going big with dropper rigs and 1 up 1 down rigs loaded with combos of lug,frozen crab,razor,squid and hopefully live shrimp if i can find any at Crosby en route to the match. Recent reports show fair numbers of small codling so i expect most to snare one,but it`s who can find the bigger fish,which leaves the other species to find.Whiting are not being reported in great numbers,but there should be enough about,but again it`s finding the bigger fish,and sandeel will be my choice of bait for that,plus it gives you an outside chance of a dog,though they are very few and far between at Otters,preferring to stay on the sand around the river mouth.
As ever there`s no need for casting any distance,and don`t ignore dropping a bait right against the wall...you`ll be surprised what`s under your feet.
Finally i`ll be taking a flask of hot soup and wrapping up warm,coz it looks like it will be baltic on Sunday. 8)
