mark - ms vents

[treeboa]

well heres a mark i know few if any of you will have fished, me and my oldest fished there sunday night, a mark called the tunnel vents, very difficult to hold bottom because of the water speed going past, so basically unless you have neaps even 7 oz with wires wont stay put, i went back to merseyside on fri night - my youngests 18th on the monday, decided to fish in the mersey in a place called the vents, basically you have the ferry terminal there and also the main channel comes in close because of it, nice small tides meant that at high 4 oz would hold till the tide turned, bloody cold at -2 , sewie lug ( similar to runnydown) and rag used, inititially nothing untill my lad buggered up a cast and it went short, while he was making a cuppa his rod started knocking, nice wee codling, so from that we both cast short, needless to say nothing else, so i belted one out to my max and 10 mins later pulled in a wee one, unfortunatly that was it for the tide as by then the run was on and nothing was going to hold boittom, still though we caught and more importantly my lad caught, couple pics here, no skits bout the sizes please lads
first the rods out on the mark

next my lad getting his cuppa

now his codling

my rod bender

now the pair of us, not often we get to fish together

Its a big tide, them kind of marks around the river mouth etc is best fished on a 4.2-4.6 tide in my opinion, anything more and you end up being pulled down tide. The tide is 5.2 today so i guess it will have been around 4.8-9 that night.

yep your right on easier fishing on low tides, unfortunatly i could not get my youngests birthday to fall on one , actually supprised to catch those codlets , normally all gone in the mersey by feb anyway and the whiting are around instead, still was a good time fishing with one my lads which does not often happen now, shame the younger one was more interested in hitting the ale house with his mates lol

it is that mick, bit like hendon but looked after, couple problems though, you cant park your car there as the police will fine you, even if you have a blue badge, not normally a problem untill the drunk swine wander down back from the pubs n clubs then you want to be able to see your car, its changed a lot as they have put groynes in place to combat the sand being washed out, thats made a few of the old marks unfishable because of no depth and has destroyed the old gullys plus left some bad mud on the lower beach near them, that has buggered up some of the old rag beds as well , one thing though,still aint as good fishing there as over here-yes you get the occasional big un, but nothing like the ones you see here, what makes me laugh over here is peeps saying they only caught small whiting, over there you get small ones, like 5 inches - your haunted by them some times
