Idiot
Guide to Plaice Fishing
The
best way to catch plaice is to drift over sand banks.
· Bait up the hook and attractor rig.
· Use a weight that is heavy enough to hold
the bottom only, but do not use excessive weight.
· Carefully lower the rig and bait into the
water, allowing the tide to straighten the bait away
from the weight.
· Very slowly let the line out so that the
rig and bait are lowered to the bottom without twisting.
You will feel the line go slack for a few moments.
It is important to go slowly with this, as tangles
from going down too fast must be avoided. A whole
drift may prove to have been a waste of time if the
rig comes back in a tangle.
· Let the boat drift away from the rig on the
bottom by about 30-50yds. Then hold the line and let
the rig be dragged by the boat movement across the
bottom.
· When you feel a bite, instantly let about
ten more yards of line go from the reel and then hold
and let the boat take up the slack.
· You should then feel the weight of the fish
on the line. Do not strike.
· Always use a net, or you may loose the fish.
· Baits:
The traditional most common bait is probably worm
tipped with squid. To bait the hook, fully feed the
worm up and even onto the line, leaving little or
no worm trailing. Then cut a strip of prepared squid,
(i.e. red speckled skin, innards and tentacles discarded
leaving a thin white sheet of flat flesh) about 1.25
- 2"" long by an three sixteenth wide. Hook
it onto the hook once at one end and leave the rest
as a trailing fleshy attractor. A convenient and very
successful alternative is 'Fish
& Strips' synthetic bait. I get offered many
new ideas, but this works. Last April I out-fished
eight very experienced fishermen from Bristol with
this bait, and the bonus is that one strip lasts several
hours and will not fall off or get bitten off and
has a virtually indefinite shelf life, even after
opening the packet.
If
you would like additional help or require a tackle
and rig set up suited to this style of fishing, our
staff will happily help and advise you.
