Plaice fishing on the south coast, in the spring, can be out of this world! My last session at this venue produced over 50 plaice between me and my mate. I headed here again a few days later, with a decent northerly wind blowing the sea flat calm. The water was crystal clear. Almost perfect plaice fishing conditions, except it was a little bit cloudy. I still had high hopes for the session.
Armed with fresh king rag -- lovely small worms, perfect for the plaice -- and black lug I got my baits out at distance. With the tide ripping at times, the plaice were on the feed again. I also took with my my lovely Banzai Multi Tip rod to do some scratching for some early summer species. As well as the plaice, a flounder graced the beach.
For this session ‪@TheShoreHunter‬ joined me, and you can see his video from the day over on his channel. This was a two-day fishing stint, with this video covering the first day. Day two will be posted to the channel too, so keep an eye out for it. I love chasing flatties: sea fishing in the UK at its best!
