Plaice Chase 2022

Poole Bay Plaice Chase 2022

The kayak fishing competition returned for the eighth time , after a two years break, as the weather and sea conditions allowed it. 

Taking place from Sandbanks beach the kayak anglers set off onto fairly calm seas with light winds, although bitterly cold, in search of early Spring Plaice. 

Thirteen anglers chose their preferred technique, wether inshore, further out, drifting or anchored, and fish were soon being reported.

Poole Bay Small Boat Angling Club who facilitate the competition, had a volunteer support boat in attendance in case of any difficulties, and unfortunately an angler capsized and had to be assisted onto the boat and warmed up before being brought back to the shore with most of their equipment. Another rod and reel to Davey Jones. A great job by the support boat, Looby Four.

After 5 hours all of the competitors had returned to shore for the measuring of the Plaice, with eight anglers offering a fish up.

The winner was Stephen Henry, “Lureman” , a regular to this event, and his name will be added to the Cam Clearie Trophy that is on display in Poole Sea Angling Centre. 

A big well done to Lureman and all of the competitors and PBSBAC members in attendance. 

The Plaice Chase returns in 2023
