mersey any good down to low water?

[Brian]

I've fished the Mersey up to high tide a few times but not down to low tide.....I was thinking of doing 3 hrs down and 3 up one evening this week.

anyone with any comments on that as a plan, much appreciated.

cheers

Hi Brian,could not believe that know one replyed to your post hope this info helps you out,perch rock and vale park are the noted low water marks on the Mersey,these marks fish well a couple of hours either side of low water but take care as the incoming tide can get behind you,best bait is black lug tipped with squid.....

Perch rock, new brighton are good low water marks like michael said. Was there yesterday over low in the afternoon, 3 hours before and about an hour up, plenty of good whiting, cracking dabs and a few small codling about 8oz. ive put threads on before after i fished there and no-one has bothered to reply so i dont bother now. its a cracking mark for someone whos new to the game because your guaranteed to catch. good luck wherever you end up Brian.

yep I planned fishing there today but the wind was biting cold and one of my mates still has my floatation suit in the back of his car so i gave it a miss but i walked down and the anglers there were doing well for whiting and codling and some of the whiting were really big.

Yep it was cold, had trouble defrosting the mackerel for bait, cant wear gloves for fishing so had to put up with cold numb hands that wouldnt do what i wanted them to, best thing is, you dont feel the hooks stab you!!

I wear a pair of fingerless neoprene gloves that have a mitten bit that can pull over my fingers. Does the job.
