Ranked by how strongly plaice show at each mark. The chip on the right is today's live fish forecast.
Common spring–summer; target gutters on the flood with worm or small fish baits, keep hooks small and traces light-ish.
Spring–summer; peeler crab, rag or sandeel baits. Look for clean sand with a bit of tide run; longer casts can pay.
Spring and early summer can be best; peeler crab or lug, long traces and smaller hooks help.
Spring–summer when clean ground fishes; try worm baits with beads/attractors on a light flapper close to the channel edge.
Spring–summer; rag/lug or tipped worm baits, add beads/attractor and fish the quieter edges of surf.
Clean sand on spring tides; long casts help; lug tipped with squid or razorfish-style baits if available.
More likely in spring/early summer; try fresh lug or rag on longer traces, cast beyond the first breaker.
Best chance in spring/early summer; tipped lug/rag or worm baits, keep rigs light and tidy.
Occasional; try worm baits with a bit of visual attractor (beads/spoons) and fish cleaner patches on a rising tide.
Spring–early summer chance on worm baits; look for calmer seas and sandy channels near the rocks.
