Brian Posted September 21, 2010 Report Posted September 21, 2010 (edited) Decided I had to go fishing, so I phoned a mate to see if he fancied drowning a few worms. He arrived at my place at about 9:30 and off we went to launch at Cobbs. The original plan was to nip out for some Macherel then come back and pick up a mooring for a nice relaxing day. Well it was fairly foggy in the Harbour, so plan B, Stay in the harbour, we slowly made our way to "Derek's Plaice Mark", only to find him already there. As we were picking up a mooring about 40m from him we saw him pick up the landing net, he had caught a 3lb 10oz Plaice. Not to be outdone, 5 mins later John (my crew) asked for the landing net and after playing it for a bit on very light tackle boated a 6lb 3oz Plaice. Edited September 21, 2010 by Brian Quote

Brian Posted September 22, 2010 Author Report Posted September 22, 2010 He's still got that silly grin. He caught it on a very small telescopic rod, you should have seen it go!!! And all got was a Pollack, which I ate for tea. Quote

wrigler Posted September 23, 2010 Report Posted September 23, 2010 Thats a Lunker plaice and I'm dead jealous. My best of 5.8 a few years ago gave me heart stopping moments to net > This guys rod must have been touching its toes before being landed. Plaice are often under estimated and lost when they make dives for bottom so well done !! Poole over the years keeps producing the occasional specimen and I'm sure one day it will produce a record fish. Just hope its MEEE|!!!! Terry Quote
