Plaice fishing

Im going to give a few of the old hot spots a go for plaice in the coming weeks,does anyone still try for them every year or have you givin up on them?

I’ll be be giving it a go for them in a few weeks as well depending what happens with the travel restrictions in April. I was out this week at a North Dublin spot where I caught 2 small plaice last summer, wasn’t specifically targeting them but hoping for something, needless to say I blanked.

Used to get them in Greystones before they built the new pier on left hand side.Rag and plenty of bling did the job.

Yeah the south beach greystones was a great spot had some crackers off it many years ago

Just seeing this now. Any one try for a plaice then? Tried last year on the south beach at driving range, Use to get them there years ago. I had no luck at all just a few dogs. Once the mussel beds were destroyed that was the end in my view anyway

I've often caught them at Scotsman bay. Usually drifting in a boat. But I have caught a few from Dun Laoghaire pier, fishing into Scotsman bay from the east pier.

Now that's interesting. Fishing into the clean ground about 50m out is it?

Anyone picking any up? Tried Newcastle tonight, no luck, flounder, doggies and load of whiting, all fish were small

Finally managed to bag one on the third time of asking, was out around greystones at the weekend, anyone else have any luck?

Yes. Correct. Can be hit and miss though.

Best of luck

Great stuff well done. I have given up the east coast. I travel a little further down the road but not had a plaice in a while
