plaice! Well done you. What size were they?

Two of 'em were 30cm the third one 36cm.

I almost felt no bite on all of them. Twice I just got it in because the whiting struck.

I will go tonight again and will take my camera with me - hope that I will be lucky and will catch one.

By the way lads - my daughter was born on the 28th January at 6.40am, my birthday was yesterday, 29th January and I got my first plaice - couldn't have better two days!!!!

Good luck!
