Plaice Fishing Near Brighton: Tips, Tactics and Loads of Fish

Рет қаралды 7,026

4 ай бұрын

Catching plaice - this video contains info on tactics, bait and rigs. Brighton is an outstanding plaice fishing venue early in the year, but parking is expensive and it can get packed. Here, I hit the beach at Shoreham -- just a few miles west of Brighton -- in search of some early spring plaice. This venue can produce decent bags of plaice but it is not on the national radar as 'the' plaice fishing venue. Parking is free and you don't need to arrive at 06:30 to get a spot.
In the video, I go through my rigs, bait choices and show how I present some of the baits on the hooks. I hope you enjoy this one.

Hi Gem only just found your channel today. I was telling my little boy about you the other day who is 5. We caught his first flounder 2 weeks ago together and I was saying that we need to get learning from you haha. Saw you over on Wayne's channel and thought you really know your stuff. You speak so well on camera as well. I would be fumbling my words like mad. All the best from up Yorkshire! Can't wait to see your channel grow this year. 10k subs by the end of the year? Easy! Smash it Gem! I met Fishing Hinny this year out fishing last year before I knew she had a channel and then found her 6 months after on here.

@ClickBaitGem 4 ай бұрын

That is awesome! Well done to your lad on his first flounder. I hope he gets hooked on the sport. I think speaking to a camera is a bit like giving a talk to people. I used to lecture and present at conferences so you get used to talking in front of people.

Hi Gem ive been watching your videos and subscribed. They are as good (and in lots of cases better) than many of the other channels. Well done on catching the plaice . That's one of my favourite venues to fish for plIce as Brighton gets packed and other beach goers tend to take over. I fished Eastbourne in similar conditions a week ago. I managed seven plaice and cracking sole in daylight. They too were at range. Keep up the good work and well done on the informative professional video. Tight lines👍👍

Hi Gem, glad I have found your channel, it's nice to see a female angler, am an avid follower of the shore hunter channel also. One thing I have noticed from this video and my own experiences is, other beach users, they seem to have very little awareness and a lot of disregard for angling activities, where on the other hand anglers seem to go out of their way to not inconvenience anyone else. I think you took the canine activity with your shelter very calmly, great vlog, keep it up, I will be back 😊

Yes it’s not just dog walkers. Swimmers and other water users don’t seem to be aware that being near people fishing could pose a danger to them. Super pleased to hear you’ll be coming back to my channel! Thank you.

@ClickBaitGem 4 ай бұрын

Good question. Yes, when I am fishing on sand I get a lot of trouble. So there I so a sort of over head thump. Sometimes on very large pebbles it can be an issue, but there I am just careful with my lead placement.

Nice vid gem, quick question when you off the ground with a grip lead do you have any problems with the grip wires unclipping or how do you lay the lead on the deck

@robertknight4539 4 ай бұрын

I use the same OTG cast when I don’t have room to pendulum cast. If you position the lead inside the tip like Gem does the pickup is instant and the lead won’t drag and trip the wires. Just keep a tight line to the lead. Gemini solos and SRT springs for multi hook rigs are very handy when ground casting.

@ClickBaitGem 4 ай бұрын

I do have trouble on the sand. So I do a kind of overhead thump. On larger pebbles I am just more careful with my lead placement.
