Feb is usually quite inshore although some guys have had a few fish. During March inshore plaice fishing should be improving with the best baits being ragworm on its own or ragworm with a slither of squid or uncooked prawns, I get mine from lidl's , some say even cooked prawns work but I have never seen a plaice with a frying pan so will stick with uncooked Bream won't be long about probably mid to end of April/May. Baits for these feisty fish is squid squid or squid, worm also works in fact most fish baits can have there day. As you're so new to this hobby you really need to have a local chart and have someone mark the areas on it for you with an indication of what to catch in particular areas. I would happily do that when the current lock down and social distancing is relaxed. Have you looked at the members marks section, there is some general areas in there to get you started Members marks

Chris is based at Cobbs as am I. The shambles is about 40 miles from Cobbs so would probably be to far for your boat unless you took a load of spare fuel. You have to bare in mind that fishing the Shambles is drifting so you are constantly up and down the bank so a lot more mileage than just there and back. Chris has a diesel powered 25' boat so has the range needed. Your best bet to fish the Shambles would be to cadge a ride on one of the bigger boats and share fuel costs with the skipper. We will be going hopefully in the next month, if we have space I will post in the trip planning heading of the forum
