Plaice

#1 Post by magpie01 »

Hi guys,

I would love to add Plaice to the species list. As its late in the 'Plaice' season I'm eager to catch one. Could anyone recommend a good spot in Dublin or Wicklow that could produce some?

Cheers

Had one from dodds rock last week and so did a mate I was out with, so that might be worth a go!

Wicklow North Beach on the rise has thrown up several during the summer. Worms tipped with squid or mackeral. Slowly moving lead better than a gripper!
