Plaice Season!!

[Larry 90]

Can anyone tell me the best time of year to fish for Plaice? And any other tips like conditions and bait etc. Any Help would be appreciated

plaice usually start to show around march/april and can be caught along the wicklow coast til about september... i usaually use a 2 hook c;ip rig with size 1/2 hooks... beads attracters are meant to work although i have never seen any real difference in catches when using them ... lug worm tipped with squid/mussel is a good bait although i find plain ragworm a hard bait to beat... let bites develope and flat calm conditions are best


ps i was out fishing wit a mate of mine a couple of months ago on one of the wicklow beaches and he landed one topping nearly 3lbs on the scales
