Leasowe and Pilling Fishery Update

Leasowe

A recommendation is being put to the TSB committee that Leasowe is opened on Monday 30th September 2024 with a TAC of 570T. The fishery will be open Monday to Friday, one tide per day.

Please note: our officers are aware of an on-going environmental incident in the Mersey. This potentially could cause a delay in the opening of the fishery pending any additional sampling which may need to occur by Environmental Health.

We will keep our permit holders updated with any changes.

Pilling

Results from the Pilling survey have showed  that the stock is still 65% undersize. Due to this, a recommendation is being given to the TSB that Pilling remains closed for the 2024/25 season.
